III.—The Evolution of the Brachiopoda1

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

For many years I have been deeply interested in the general history of the Brachiopoda, and I have enjoyed the acquaintance, correspondence, and friendly encouragement of most of the eminent biologists and palæontologists who have devoted themselves to the elucidation of the complex structure of this class. Here I must name with reverence Davidson, long my friend and master; Barrande, of Prague; James Hall, of Albany; William King; Eugène Deslongchamps, the Norman naturalist; Suess, of Vienna; Friele, of Bergen; Morse, of Salem; and Dall, of Washington; “all honourable men,” and many others of the fin du siècle school, whose names will be noted in the sequel.
