Excerpt from A Monograph of the Tertiary Entomostraca of England With regard to the sources from whence I have derived the materials for the present Monograph, I have first to acknowledge the value of Mr. S. V. Wood's extensive series of Entomostraca from the Crag of Suffolk (chiefly from Sutton), which he most liberally confided to my care for description.

Excerpt from A Supplementary Monograph: Of the Tertiary Entomostraca of England The Tertiary Bntomostraca (Ostracoda) of England, at first treated of in a Monograph for the Palontographical Society in 1857, were revised by one of us in the 'Geological Magazine, ' 1870, pp. 155 - 159. The researches of G. O. Sars and G. S. Brady, with D. Robertson and others, elucidating the relationships of the genera and species among recent forms, gave effect in a great degree to that revision; and their continued labours have further helped us. Since the publication of the Revision, eighteen years ago, besides there being some additional corrections to be noticed, several new species have come to hand, late research in the fossiliferous deposits of Tertiary age having enabled our friends to add to the collections we have made for ourselves, so that the known English Tertiary forms are now upwards of one hundred in number. The British Post-Tertiary species are still more numerous. Some of the latter were described in the Monograph for year 1855 (dated on title-page 1856, but issued in 1857), and what relates to them in the new researches is here noticed. The notices and descriptions of revised and new forms will be arranged according to their alliances, and as far as possible in a Natural Order, in accordance with the grouping of genera adopted by Dr. G. S. Brady in his latest memoirs on recent Ostracoda. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Arabian Seas Marine Region encompasses marine areas from Djibouti to Pakistan, including the northern part of Somalia, the Red Sea, the Arabian/Persian Gulf, and parts of the Arabian Sea. Human pressures on the coastal and marine environments are evident throughout the region, and have resulted in harmful environmental effects. Oil and domestic, urban and industrial pollutants in several areas of this part of the world have caused local habitat degradation, eutrophication and algal blooms. Further, coastal landfill, dredging, and sedimentation, as well as nutrient and sediment runoff from phosphate mining, agriculture and grazing, and reduction in freshwater seepage due to groundwater extraction are all contributing to the degradation of coastal environments. This book discusses aspects not covered in other books on the region, which largely focus on marine biodiversity, and examines several environmental challenges that are often ignored, but which have a significant impact on the environment. Evaluating the status quo, it also recommends conservation measures and examines the abiotic factors that play a major main role in the environmental changes. Lastly, the book addresses the biodiversity of the area, providing a general context for the conservation and management measures discussed.
