Excerpt from Guide to the Collection of Fossil Fishes in the Department of Geology and Paleontology, British Museum (Natural History), Cromwell Road, South Kensington The accompanying Guide to the Collection of Fossil Fishes in the British Museum of Natural History has been prepared in the hope that it may be found useful alike to the geologist and the palaeontologist. It has been found more convenient to arrange the Collection zoologically, rather than stratigraphically, yet every specimen bears upon its label not only its name, but also the Formation and locality whence it was derived.
