A Pictorial Atlas of Fossil Remains, consisting of coloured illustrations selected from Parkinson's "Organic remains of a former world," and Artis's "Antediluvian phytology."

A richly illustrated compendium reproduces colored plates from earlier natural-history works, pairing seventy-four plates and nearly nine hundred figures with concise descriptions and contemporary taxonomic names. The plates are organized into sections on fossil plants (wood, ferns, coal flora, arborescent lycopods, calamites, sigillaria, seed vessels) and fossil animals (corals, sponges, crinoids, echinoderms, cephalopods, mollusks, and large extinct birds), with locality data, figure identifications, and bibliographic references. The volume aims to serve both as an attractive pictorial guide for general readers and a compact reference for geologists and palaeontologists.
