I now desire to express my grateful thanks to the Rev. Prof. T. Wiltshire, M.A., 

 F.G.S., &c, and to Prof. T. Rupert Jones, F.R.S., F.G.S., &c, for all the great and 

 conscientious trouble they have kindly taken during so many years in revising the sheets 

 of this Monograph. My thanks are also due to Mr. J. E. Adlard, who has printed 

 the whole of my large Monograph for the Palseontographical Society. To all those 

 who have helped me during the last thirty-four years, I again tender my sincerest 

 acknowledgments.
