Excerpt from Transactions of the Natural History Society of Glasgow, 1900-1901, Vol. 6: Including the Proceedings of the Society; Part II Of the Peregrine Falcon, he says: A bird called the Blue Hawk by gardeners is said to be seen here occasionally, but he was unable to satisfy himself about it. The sparrow-hawk is the only bird of prey we can boast of as a residenter. It is frequently seen gliding leisurely over our fields. I have never been able to find out their nests here, though I think it very probable that they build on some of the old trees at the top of the quarry at Craigpark.

Excerpt from Proceedings of the Royal Society of Victoria, 1889, Vol. 1 During the last Easter vacation I was enabled, through the kindness and hospitality of Mr. J. Bracebridge Wilson, to accompany him on several occasions while engaged in dredging Operations at various localities near Port Phillip Heads. On one of these occasions we obtained a consider able quantity of a very remarkable arenaceous organism attached to the base of a mass of Ascidians. On my return to the University I examined my spirit-preserved Specimens of this organism with some care, but without being able to elucidate its true nature. As it promised to prove of unusual interest I wrote to Mr. Wilson, asking him if he could send me some more specimens in a living condition. In consequence of my request Mr. Wilson devoted a considerable amount of time and trouble to again searching for the organism in question, and succeeded in afew days' time in sending me living Specimens, not only of the Species which I had previously obtained, but also of another quite distinct species of the same genus. These specimens reached me in excellent condition, and a glance at the living animal at once proved it to be a Polvzoon of very novel and peculiar form. The genus, which is new to science, would appear to be not uncommon in Port Phillip, for Mr. Wilson informs me that he has been familiar with it for many years, and has often dredged it by the handful. He has also kindly suggested that, considering the difficulty experienced in determining its true character, the generic name Cryptozoon would not' be inappropriate, a suggestion of which I am very happy to be able to avail myself.

Excerpt from Journal of the Portland Society or Natural History, Vol. 1: No; 1 Nothing can be more artificial than a classification of mollusca based on the shell alone, or even on any single organ or portion of the animal. Now, true classification is not artificial; it is the revelation of a natural order. All minor peculiarities play their part only in the grand whole, and therefore we have no right to cull out special points here and there for the arbitrary establishment of convenient groupings. In the following synoptical table I have grouped the species together under certain generic, sub-family. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
