A GUIDE 
TO THE 
ANIMALS. 
This book is a guide to the fossil remains of Invertebrate 
Animals and to a few subsidiary collections contained in 
Galleries Nos. VII, VIII, X, and XI of the Geological 
Department. These Galleries may be approached by turning 
to the left, either immediately on entering the large Galleiy 
of fossil Mammals, or on reaching the end of it. Both these 
turns to the left lead into the long Gallery No. IV containing 
fossil Reptiles, out of which lead the four Galleries here 
described (See Frontispiece-Plan, Plate I). 
Gallery VII is the westernmost and is nearest the main 
entrance, and Gallery XI is furthest away, towards the east. 
The entrance to each Gallery is at its south end. The 
AVall-cases and Table-cases in the Galleries are numbered 
consecutively. No. 1 being, in the wider Galleries, on the left 
hand of the visitor as he enters, and the highest number 
beinw on his right. Following this order of the Cases, the 
contents of these Galleries are briefly as follows : — 
Gallery VII: Cephalopods (Ammonites, Belemnites, &c.). 
Gallery VIII: All Molluscs (except Cephalopods), 
Bryozoa, Brachiopods, Arthropods (insects, lobsters, trilobites,
