Footnote 1:

  A framed series of photographs, illustrating different kinds of
  radulæ, is placed on the east wall of the gallery.

Footnote 2:

  From Woodward’s ‘Manual of the Mollusca,’ published by Lockwood & Son.

Footnote 3:

  From ‘The Cambridge Natural History,’ Messrs. Macmillan & Co.

Footnote 4:

  From the Greek: _pteron_, wing, and _pous_, foot.

Footnote 5:

  From the Greek: _scaphe_, a small boat, and _pous_, a foot—the foot of
  some Scaphopods being somewhat pointed like the prow of a vessel.

Footnote 6:

  The term Lamellibranchia is used instead of Pelecypoda in deference to
  the wish of Professor Lankester.—E. A. S.

Footnote 7:

  From the ‘Encyclopædia Britannica.’ Messrs. A. & C. Black.

Footnote 8:

  From ‘The Cambridge Natural History.’ Messrs. Macmillan & Co.

Footnote 9:

  From the Greek: _kephale_, head, and _pous_, foot.

Footnote 10:

  _Zoon_, animal; _oikos_, house.

Footnote 11:

  _Lophos_, plume; _pherein_, to bear.

Footnote 12:

  _Polus_, many; _zoon_, animal.

Footnote 13:

  _Bryon_, moss.

Footnote 14:

  _Ektos_, outside; _proktos_, vent.

Footnote 15:

  _Cheilos_, lip; _stoma_, mouth.

Footnote 16:

  _Gumnos_, naked; _laimos_, throat.

Footnote 17:

  _Ktenos_, of a comb.

Footnote 18:

  _Phulassein_, to guard; _laimos_, throat.

Footnote 19:

  _Kuklos_, circle.

Footnote 20:

  _Entos_, inside; _proktos_, vent.

Footnote 21:

  _Vibraculum_, a bristle.

Footnote 22:

  _Pyrosoma_—_pur_, fire; _soma_, body.

Footnote 23:

  It should be mentioned that one high authority, Prof. W. K. Brooks,
  does not regard the life history of _Salpa_ as an example of
  alternation of generations, but considers the solitary _Salpa_ to be,
  not asexual, but a female which produces a chain of males; but it is
  impossible to enter into a difficult question of controversy here.

Footnote 24:

  From the Greek _pelma_ = a stalk.

Footnote 25:

  The Asteroidea or Ophiuroidea may be counted under the name
  Stelliformia.
