Excerpt from Descriptive Catalogue of the Tunicata: In the Australian Museum, Sydney, N. S. W
IN the autumn of 1887 I received a letter from Dr, E. P. Ramsay, at that time Curator of the Australian Museum, Sydney, asking me to prepare, for the Trustees Of that Institution, this descriptive Catalogue Of the Collection Of Tunicata in their Museum. The specimens sent to me in several packages arrived in Liverpool during 1888 and 1889; and in the latter year, after I had made a preliminary examination Of all the species and had reported upon the number that would require to be described and figured, arrangements were made by the Trustees as to printing the Catalogue in this country and as to the preparation of the plates.
