Riassunto

Excerpt from Report on the Invertebrata of Massachusetts: Published Agreeably to an Order of the Legislature

Most of these woodcuts were engraved by Mr. Henry Marsh, so well known for his beautiful illustrations of Harris's Insects.

Dr. Gould had prepared for engraving many beautiful drawings of Nudibranchiata. Professor Agassiz has added largely to these, and also has furnished many drawings of Tunicata and Cephalo poda. These I have grouped into plates which have been printed by chromo-lithography, by Messrs. Bowen Co., of Philadelphia, in a most creditable manner.

I have retained the references to the figures of the original plates and have continued from them the numbering of the figures in the new edition, first in the plates, and then in the text. The number ing of the plates in this edition commences with XVI., thus allow ing for the fifteen original copperplates, although they were not numbered.

In addition to the gentlemen named above, and in various notes throughout the text, I am indebted to Dr. W. Stimpson and Dr. P. P. Carpenter for valuable assistance in preparing the work.
