Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crinoids of the Indian Ocean At the suggestion of Dr. F. A. Bather the Indian Museum entrusted to me for study the magnificent collection of recent crinoids brought together mainly as a result of the operations of the Royal Indian Marine Survey Steamer "Investigator." Covering as it does the vast region from the Malay Archipelago to the Persian Gulf the collection is one of extraordinary interest, for by its aid the westward extension of many East Indian genera and species may be accurately traced, and it is possible to form a very clear concept of the progressive diminution in intensity of the wonderfully rich East Indian fauna as one travels westward. In addition to the "Investigator" material, the Indian Museum also sent all of its collections accumulated from other sources - collections of no small importance to the student of the Indian fauna. Most of the species in the collection are represented by large series, and there is an astonishingly complete representation of those very small forms so common in the East Indian region which are frequently disposed of in toto as "unidentifiable young," graphically bringing out the thoroughness with which the collectors of the "Investigator" performed their labours. While the work of studying these large collections was in progress, I received the material from the marine survey of the Philippine Islands, which was undertaken by the United States Fisheries Steamer "Albatross." This proved extremely rich in species as well as in individuals, and formed a most valuable supplement to that obtained by the "Investigator." I had myself in 1906, when naturalist of the "Albatross," made large collections off the coasts of Japan as well as further north, subsequently receiving the collection made by Mr. Alan Owston in shallower water off the southern shore, in the vicinity of Sagami Bay, and these were naturally most instructive in throwing light upon the northern limits of many East Indian genera and species. Recently the Australian Museum at Sydney, New South Wales, sent me its entire Austrahan collection to study so that I was able to form a good idea of the southward extension of the East Indian genera and species about the shores of that continent. After the report was written I visited the chief museums of Europe for the purpose of studying the crinoids therein contained in connection with my forthcoming extended monograph on the group. I examined the Lamarckian and Miillerian types preserved at Leyden and at Paris (those at Berlin having previously passed through my hands), and studied other important collections at Bergen, Berlin, Copenhagen, Dresden, Kristiania, Lyons, Monaco, and Vienna.

This book was released on 2018-10-05 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Species of Crinoids Cephalopods and Other Palæozoic Fossils A knowledge of evolution followed the domestication of animals centuries ago but how and where it takes place is a subject of mod ern investigation. And we do not know how or where it has taken place, except as a result of observation and experiment. The theory of evolution does not account for anything, though an established fact may be consistent with the theory. All biological knowledge follows the discovery of the hard and soft parts of the anatomy of living animals, but among extinct fossil animals it is only to be in ferred after a full knowledge of the hard parts found preserved. And Agarner-77311us is a good genus with which to make an illustra tion. We know that some crinoids, as were per manently attached by roots that penetrate the mud, at the. Bed of the sea, like a forest tree penetrates the soil on land that others, like i-lnonmlocri'nus attached roots to foreign objects, or were free, like -1rus, and though floaters could attach themselves by coiling the tapering ends of their columns ar and other objects; but we. Do not. Know to which of these divisions Aynricocriqms belonged. \ve know that the columns in some crinoids were square, others pentagonal and others round and that the column of A -us was round: but we do not know what significance. If any, in the line of (levelopment is to be attached to the form of the column, its structure, or the shape of the columnar canal. We know nothing of the internal anatomy of the calyx or head of Amt'r-t'cocm'nzts and cannot. Trace the source of the genus, if it is to be found, in known species of earlier age or find the evidences of its survival, if it did survive, in later crinoidal forms.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crinoids, Vol. 5: From Dr. S. Bock's Expedition to Japan, 1914 This systematic work is an investigation of the fine and very interesting Crinoid material that was brought home by Dr. Sixten Bock's Japanese expedition of 1914 and which has kindly been delivered to me by Dr. Bock for determination. On many occasions the determination has been facilitated by comparison with the crinoids that Dr. Moetensen of Copenhagen has collected in the same regions and also kindly delivered to me for determination. I am much indebted to Mr A. H. Clark of Washington for the very valuable information he has always readily rendered me. To Professor A. Wiren of Uppsala I also wish to express my thanks for the kind interest with which he has followed my investigations. The translation has been made by myself with the assistance of my sister Miss Martha Gislen. The work was afterwards revised by Mr Henry Alexander M.
