Excerpt from A Supplementary Monograph: Of the Tertiary Entomostraca of England The Tertiary Bntomostraca (Ostracoda) of England, at first treated of in a Monograph for the Palontographical Society in 1857, were revised by one of us in the 'Geological Magazine, ' 1870, pp. 155 - 159. The researches of G. O. Sars and G. S. Brady, with D. Robertson and others, elucidating the relationships of the genera and species among recent forms, gave effect in a great degree to that revision; and their continued labours have further helped us. Since the publication of the Revision, eighteen years ago, besides there being some additional corrections to be noticed, several new species have come to hand, late research in the fossiliferous deposits of Tertiary age having enabled our friends to add to the collections we have made for ourselves, so that the known English Tertiary forms are now upwards of one hundred in number. The British Post-Tertiary species are still more numerous. Some of the latter were described in the Monograph for year 1855 (dated on title-page 1856, but issued in 1857), and what relates to them in the new researches is here noticed. The notices and descriptions of revised and new forms will be arranged according to their alliances, and as far as possible in a Natural Order, in accordance with the grouping of genera adopted by Dr. G. S. Brady in his latest memoirs on recent Ostracoda. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
