PREFACE
Of the diagrams which illustrate this little volume, the majority wereprepared by Miss E. C. Abbott (formerly Bathurst Scholar at NewnhamCollege, Cambridge): the sketches were made from specimens in the SouthKensington Museum of Natural History, which has kindly grantedpermission for their use. In addition to these, there are severalfigures that are taken from specimens in my possession, photographed bythe publishers; two or three cuts are diagrammatic; and I owe to thekindness of Mr. J. Craggs, formerly president of the NorthumberlandMicroscopical Association, the drawings of Polycystina and of the scalesof the Sole.
