Excerpt from Cambrian BrachiopodaThis monograph includes the description of 44 genera, 15 subgenera, 47-7 species, and 59 varieties of Cambrian Brachiopoda, and of 3 genera, 1 subgenus, 42 Species, and 1 variety of Ordovician Brachiopoda. Of the Cambrian forms, 10 genera, 2 subgenera, 21 species, and 1 variety persist into the Ordovician. (see pp. 98 - 113 for complete tables giving distribution.) In this paper the Brachiopoda are treated in three ways - historically, geologically, and zoologically. Historically the treatment comprises (1) a bibliography and (2) a table of synonymic reference, giving a completely cross-referenced list of described Species with the present generic and specific reference of each. Geologically the distribution of the Brachi Opoda is considered under the following headings: (1) General geographic and stratigraphic distribution, (2) detailed geographic distribution, (3) detailed stratigraphic distribution, (4) habitat, and (5) fossil localities. Zoologically the discussion covers (1) the physical characters of the Brachiopoda, (2) their distribution, (3) their evolution, and (4) their classification. Lastly come the detailed descriptions of genera and species and the illustrative plates.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
