  Palaeozoic 
  Polyzoa 
  came 
  into 
  existence 
  in 
  the 
  remote 
  ages 
  of 
  the 
  

   past, 
  and 
  died 
  out 
  in 
  later, 
  still 
  remote 
  ages 
  ; 
  but 
  having 
  no 
  natural 
  

   or 
  generally 
  accepted 
  standard 
  to 
  judge 
  by 
  and 
  compare 
  with, 
  we 
  

   are 
  at 
  a 
  loss 
  to 
  give 
  full 
  expression 
  to 
  any 
  truth 
  which 
  certain 
  

   species 
  may 
  present. 
  Amongst 
  the 
  Tertiary 
  and 
  recent 
  Polyzoa 
  

   this 
  difficulty 
  is 
  not 
  so 
  much 
  felt 
  ; 
  and 
  I 
  for 
  one 
  shall 
  be 
  inclined 
  to 
  

   accept 
  Mr. 
  Hincks's 
  fuller 
  classification 
  when 
  the 
  results 
  of 
  his 
  in- 
  

   vestigations 
  amongst 
  other 
  than 
  British 
  Polyzoa 
  have 
  satisfied 
  him 
  

   that 
  he 
  is 
  right. 
  Por 
  the 
  present 
  I 
  am 
  chiefly 
  concerned 
  about 
  the 
  

   Palaeozoic 
  and 
  Mesozoic 
  types. 
  

  

  When 
  the 
  material 
  was 
  sent 
  to 
  me 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Maw, 
  every 
  box 
  or 
  

   parcel 
  had 
  a 
  particular 
  number. 
  This 
  I 
  have 
  preserved 
  ; 
  and 
  the 
  

   different 
  numbers 
  at 
  the 
  tops 
  of 
  the 
  columns 
  are 
  the 
  numbers 
  

   supplied 
  to 
  me.

  are

  In 
  the 
  following 
  list 
  I 
  have 
  only 
  indicated 
  by 
  an 
  asterisk 
  the 
  pre- 
  

   sence 
  of 
  certain 
  species 
  of 
  Actinozoa. 
  I 
  have 
  not 
  in 
  every 
  instance 
  

   given 
  the 
  species, 
  for 
  reasons 
  already 
  stated. 
  I 
  have, 
  however, 
  given 
  

   as 
  full 
  a 
  record 
  as 
  possible. 
  Referring 
  to 
  the 
  Entomostraca, 
  because 
  

   certain 
  species 
  are 
  left 
  bare 
  of 
  a 
  mark, 
  it 
  must 
  not 
  be 
  supposed 
  that 
  

   species 
  cannot 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  shales 
  ; 
  it 
  only 
  means 
  that 
  mine 
  are 
  

   bare 
  of 
  forms 
  in 
  that 
  particular 
  locality, 
  because 
  I 
  have 
  not 
  had 
  

   material 
  fine 
  enough 
  for 
  examination.
