Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Paleontology, for the Use of Students, Vol. 1 of 2: With a General Introduction on the Principles of Paleontology The present edition of this work has not only been entirely revised and largely re-written, but it has been so largely augmented by the addition of new matter, that it may be considered as to all intents and purposes a new book. In the former edition, the final section of the work was devoted to Historical or Stratigraphical Palæontology; but this subject has been entirely omitted on the present occasion, as it is most suitably dealt with separately, and it has been treated of in a general manner in the Author's 'Ancient Life-History of the Earth.' As in the former edition, considerably more space has been allotted to the Invertebrata than to the Vertebrata, for reasons which are obvious, and especially upon the ground that palæontological students are, as a rule, much more largely concerned with the former than the latter. An attempt has also been made to give, as tar as possible, brief and general definitions of the more important and widely distributed families, or even genera, of the Invertebrata, as well as, to a more limited extent, of the Vertebrata. In carrying out this attempt, however, it is clear that it was necessary to make a rigid selection of material, based upon what might appear to be the relative importance of different types.
