PREFACE. 
The object of the present List is to place permanently on record all the 
“ Types ” and Figured Specimens of Fossil Cephalopoda preserved in the 
Geological Department of the British Museum (Natural History). It has 
been prepared in response to an invitation from the Committee of the 
British Association for the Registration of Types and figured specimens of 
all British fossils. 
This list will be found to contain both British and Foreign types ; but 
as the locality is given to each entry, the student desiring to ascertain 
the existence of British types only, wiU find no difficulty in eliminating the 
exotic ones if he desires to do so. 
It is hoped that it will be possible very shortly to print similar lists 
of t}^es of other groups of Invertebrata in the Museum now in course of 
preparation. 
For the Yertebrata the student is referred to the series of Catalogues 
of Mammalia, Aves, Reptilia, Amphibia, and Pisces, already published by 
the Trustees, and also to the valuable Catalogue of British Fossil 
Yertebrata (1890), by A. Smith Woodward and C. D. Sherborn.
