Sinopsis

Excerpt from On the Structure and Affinities of the Genus Monticulipora and Its Sub-Genera: With Critical Descriptions of Illustrative Species

For the same reasons, I have not troubled myself greatly about matters concerning the bibliography and synonymy Of the genus, chiefly because it will be impossible to take up this part of the subject with much satisfaction or utility until the actual specimens originally examined and described by the earlier workers in this department shall have been investigated by modern methods, and thus, for the first time, clearly and unmistakably identified. It is quite possible, therefore, that when the investigation I have just alluded to has been carried out, and its results published, it may be found that some of the forms which I have here identified with previously described species are in reality distinct from these.1 This source of error, in the present state of our knowledge, seems to be absolutely unavoidable, even by the most careful observer.
