ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE OF BRITISH FOSSILS. 



We this month issue one of the plates of this Catalogue : the letter-press to 

 accompany the plates will not be issued until one Section or Group of Fossils is 

 completed. For instance, no descriptive matter of the Amorphozoa will be 

 issued until that great division is completely illustrated. 



The order of selection will not be continuous; that is, it will not begin with the 

 lowest, and go on successively to the highest classes, nor, vice versa, from the 

 highest and go down to the lowest ; but such groups will be taken as can be 

 most completely done, or as from the existing state of scientific literature it may 

 be deemed most adviseable to do on account of utility. Every group commenced 

 will be forthwith carried on to conclusion ; and it will be so arranged that the 

 Volumes of the Catalogue will be complete in themselves, and separate covers 

 will be issued for binding. The Plates will be issued in the Supplements, and 

 their numbers will be alphabetically by letters and by figures, so that additions of 

 new species or genera can at any time, even in future years, be made without 

 destroying the proper continuity of the work. For instance, for all the genera 

 of Amorphozoa beginning with A, the plates will be numbered Al, A2, A3, &c. ; 

 and if at any future time additions are made, the plates illustrating those will be 

 numbered Al # , A2'*, and so on. When a full group is completed, the part of the 

 catalogue containing it may be purchased separately ; but the price of all these 

 parts will be slightly higher, in the proportion of 10s. to 7s. 6d., than the cost of 

 the extra supplements containing the figiires issued with "The Geologist."
