DEDICATED
(with permission of Mrs. Hutton)
to
The late CAPTAIN F. W. HUTTON, F.R.S.,
in humble appreciation of his eminent service in many departments of New Zealand Zoology;
in warm admiration of the proof he furnished, in character and utterances, that pure religion and true science may keep close company;
and
in deep gratitude for personal encouragement and help in the writers’s early scientific study.
