ALL THE SAURI, EXCEPT THE SUBJECT OF PLATE IV, ARE
DEPOSITED IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM.
It may be proper to state that the Author, having published an
Imperial Folio, in 1834, entitled, " Memoirs of Ichthyosauri
and Plesiosauri, twenty-eight Plates" (copied from specimens in
his Collection of Fossil Organic Remains,) seized dint opportunity
to print off some hundreds more than could be required for that
work; foreseeing the invaluable uses they render the present one.
All Histories, but more especially those of extinct Races, which are
arrived at by the slowest degrees, have been improved by
supplements, some have subserved their supplements, and as in the
present instance, even merged into, and by that means, elevated it
into the Real History.
Our Nomenclature has been carefully pruned in the Volume before us;
but since the titles attached to certain of the Plates bear some
fruit, we leave them there in the old position |
