Extract

In the “Catalogue of the Cambrian and Silurian Fossils in the Woodwardian Museum,” compiled by J. W. Salter, F.G.S., and published in 1873, many new specific names occur, in some cases accompanied by a few words of description, but frequently by none at all. Although several of these species have been described by subsequent writers, there yet remains a large number which are only known by their names, some of which have found their way into geological literature. It therefore seemed desirable to rescue these forms from their present unstable position, and to issue a detailed account of their characters to avoid future confusion. The original specimens are in the Woodwardian Museum, and though in many instances they are in a poor state of preservation, rendering the precise and minute diagnosis of the species difficult, yet the subsequent acquisition of further specimens of the same forms has enabled me to make the descriptions more complete.
