Catalogue op the Fossil Cbphalapoda of the British Museum, 



Part I, Nautiloidea. London, December, 1888. 



By Arthur H. Foord, F. U. S. 



This very handsome and important contribution to the history 

 and classification of one of the most prolific groups of palaeozoic 

 fossils which reached us some time ago, would deserve a more 

 lengthy notice than can be given here. Its author, well known to 

 most of the Canadian geologists, as late assistant Palaeontologist to 

 the Geological Survey of Canada, and formerly a member of our 

 Society, has been zealously engaged in the work which is now before 

 us, and made it an indispensable treatise for reference- " Mr. Foord 

 has diligently worked at the literature of the subject," says Dr. 

 Woodward, keeper of the British Museum, "and has spared neither 

 time nor labour in clearing up the many difficult points connected 

 with the priority of names and in the verifying of generic and 

 specific determinations," in all of which he has been eminently 

 successful. 



The following species from Canadian localities are described or 

 referred to in the text, and are therefore of especial interest : —
