 All these fossils now at my disposal were collected either by those 

 whose circumstances permitted them to malve only a very hurried and 

 superficial collection, or by those who were not expert in this line of work ; 

 it is deeply to be regretted that the geologists sent out by the Tokyo Geo- 

 graphical Society were likeweise obliged to make their trip under similar 

 conditions. Thus the present material comprises numerous species, which 

 are very varied both in biological nature and also in geological age, as will 

 be seen from the above list. But it is seldom that we find a species from a 

 locality or a horizon represented by a number of specimens, and often the 

 identification of a species must rest on only one or two fragmentary speci- 

 mens ; the sole exception to this is the case of the Devonian brachiopods 

 which are already known to be very common in Southern China. Under 

 such circumstances it was a matter of course that considerable difficulty 

 accompanied the study of the present material, and due allowance must be
