existence of the species as they details for which he had but came in his way, than to enter into indifferent means, justly considered, that by publishing figures with names he would at least enable future geologists to use terms Vvhich a reference to his work would render intelligible, and thus facilitate their labours and means of communication with each other Mr Farey had rendered the work somewhat more useful by the Supplementary Indexes which he furnished to the earlier volumes but as the science of geology advanced he was obliged to vary his plan, and the termination of his life unhappily prevented him from completing the task he had assigned himself, of giving an improved geological arrangement to the whole work The work was originally planned to be arranged zoologically, so that in the absence of an index pointing out such an arrangement it must be incomplete: this index would have been given, with another geologically arranged, soon after the conclusion of the sixth volume, but the Author of that and the one preceding was unwilling to adopt hastily any system which was then proposed, and even now feels that his duty is very imperfectly performed He has adopted the system of Lamarck, as given by M Deshayes, and made only a few alterations which seem to him to be absolutely needful: he would have made more, but was desirous to avoid increasing the number of systems, while he was aware that in all probability one more perfect than he could have planned would be given by a person well versed in recent shells and their animals, in which alone the characters necessary to be observed for classification can be discovered One advantage, and that a considerable one, in the system he has adopted, is its being nearly the one followed bv most modern geologists The advancement ; a2 PRF.FACK TO THE INDFA'ES of the science generally, and particularly a better acquaintance with the fossil shells themselves, through more perfect specimens, have rendered some alterations in the nomenclature absolutely necessary, especially in the generic names; but the changes made in these indexes are as few as they could consistently be, because the frequent changing of names is a source of great perplexity The alterations in the specific names are not numerous: when they One or two new genera are proposed, occur they are pointed out and their characters given The Geological Index will, in some cases, be found at variance with the former text; where that is the case, the difference has arisen from some discovered error in the locality given, or has been made upon authority which cannot be questioned: still the Author fears many errors remain, which the length of time he has had the indexes in hand has not removed, and mostly arise from an inaccurate knowledge of the places from whence the fossils are stated to have come into his collection The additional given are much fewer than he anticipated, the Author finding from experience that he could not trust implicitly to the lists hitherto published, or supplied by his friends, in consequence of sufficient attention not having been always paid to specific distinctions: he has therefore principally depended upon one or tw^o collections within his reach, and upon conThe Autributions to his own, for those additional localities thor has received in this department much assistance from the extensive knowledge of a practical geologist, who has aided him in correcting the references to formations: to him, to H, H Goodhall, Esq., and to many friends from whom he has had both information and specimens, he begs thus publicly to tender his sincere thanks, and to express a hope that they will continue their assistance so as to enable him to improve in the projected conlocalities tinuation of this w^ork To the public the Author feels deeply indebted, and cannot refrain from declaring his gratitude for the encouragement bestowed upon a work commenced by his lamented father, and in the continuance of which he himself has incurred so much responsibility, and also to crave consideration for errors towards those who alike were more conversant with the pencil than the pen, and wdio have sacrificed much tow^ards the advancement of their favourite sciences Camden Town, July, 1835 SYSTEMATICAL INDEX CRUSTACEA Vol Tab Fig Pholadomya Vol Tab Fig Cypris F.iba Stratum Weald 4B5 compressa antiquata tenuis Carinella 598 6 598 S M L.? 598 1-5 U G S L F VV G S Chalk Chalk 1,2 L C Calc Gr 3, 6 crassa sulcata 598 598 597 597 30 608 tricarinata 608 fluctuata runcinata 6 triangulata obtusa tetragona a — 6 6 6 /3 rustica articulata vertebralis granulata | ^}"^^- ampuUacea Macropus 608 608 608 608 599 599 599 599 599 597 rCalc Gr Coral R [ Cornb ?
