Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Covering a wide area of the London and Hampshire basins, the London
Clay has been famous for over two hundred years as one of the
richest Eocene strata in the country. In this work, first published
between 1849 and 1858, Fellows of the Royal Society Richard Owen
(1804-92) and Thomas Bell (1792-1880) describe their findings from
among the reptilian fossils found there. The book is divided into
four parts, covering chelonian, crocodilian, lacertilian and
ophidian fossils, and includes an extensive section of detailed
illustrations. Using his characteristic 'bone to bone' method and
an emphasis on taxonomy, Owen draws some significant conclusions;
he shows that some of Cuvier's classifications were wrongly
extended to marine turtles, and adds to the evidence for an Eocene
period much warmer than the present. The work is a fascinating
example of pre-Darwinian palaeontology by two scientists later much
involved in the evolutionary controversy.
for SA and piano with body percussion This fun, raucous, and
traditional Canadian sea-shanty is arranged for SA, piano,
handclaps, thigh slaps, and foot stomps and has wonderful Canadian
imagery: Were you ever in Quebec stowing timber on a deck? The
piano part is easy to play and the vocal lines are a delight to
sing. This title from the Oxford Music from Canada series is a
perfect fit for school choirs.
