PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS.
By J. R. Li: Rkockton Tomijn, M.A., F.E.S., etc.
Delivered 8th February, 1918.
A SYSTEMATIC LIST OF THE FOSSIL MARGINELLID^.
In the List of recent ^larginellidse publislied last year I ventured to
hope that 1 might have time eventually to catalogue the fossil species
as well. This necessary complement 1 am now able to bring forward,
arranged on precisely similar lines and with similar limitations.
It contains 350 names, but probably a number of omissions will be
detected from time to time, since I find the Zoological Record so
much less complete an index to fossil forms. In the case of papers
which appeared in serials the se])arate titles have frequently been
added m brackets when the paper is an important or comprehensive
one. The geological formation is quoted as given by the author in
his original description.
It only remains for me to express my thanks for renewed assistance
to the friends who helped me before, and to add tlie names of
C. U. Sherborn, A. Reynell, K. Martin, and M. Cossmann, to whom
I am equally indebted.
