Excerpt from A Monograph of the British Spongiadæ, Vol. 4: SupplementaryThe editor has not given any synonymy or re ferences regarding the Calcareous Sponges in the body of the work, to have done this would have necessitated a complete revision of the species, and he refers the student to the Appendix, where will be found a sum mary of the views of Haeckel.With respect to the habitats to which the editor's own initial (n.) is attached, indicating thereby that the specimens referred to have either been collected by himself or are in his cabinet, he has thought it advisable only to record the localities of such speci mens as have actually passed through Dr. Bowerbank's hands and been identified by him. It must be under stood, however, that this remark only applies to those habitats which have the initial N. After them, not necessarily to such as are recorded on the authority of other naturalists, unless either the record is in inverted commas without any name after it, thus showing that the note is Dr. Bowerbank's, or it is expressly stated that he had determined the specimens.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
