The Cambridge natural history, Vol. 04 (of 10)
Geoffrey Smith & D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson & Cecil Warburton & Walter Frank Raphael Weldon & Henry Woods
Original publication: London: Macmillan and Co, 1909The Editors feel that they owe an apology and some explanation to
the readers of The Cambridge Natural History for the delay which
has occurred in the issue of this, the fourth in proper order, but the
last to appear of the ten volumes which compose the work. The delay
has been due principally to the untimely death of Professor W. F. E.
Weldon, who had undertaken to write the Section on the Crustacea.
The Chapter on the Branchiopoda is all he actually left ready for
publication, but it gives an indication of the thorough way in which
he had intended to treat his subject. He had, however, superintended
the preparation of a number of beautiful illustrations, which show
that he had determined to use, in the main, first-hand knowledge.
Many of these figures have been incorporated in the article by Mr.
Geoffrey Smith, to whom the Editors wish to express their thanks for
taking up, almost at a moment’s notice, the task which had dropped
from his teacher’s hand.
