Excerpt from List of the Specimens of British Sponges in the Collection of the British Museum In the adoption of the generic and specific names it has been thought right to use, wherever it was possible, that which was first applied to the Species. As far as regards the specific name, there is comparatively little difficulty in the application of this simple rule; but generic names have been used by different authors in senses so widely different, and the groups which they were meant to designate have been so variously extended and restricted, that it was no easy matter to determine, where several names have been used, which of them ought to be preferred. Great attention has been paid to consult the original authority, to know the type, and select the name which appeared to be the most ancient and reference is made to the work in which, and the date when, each genus and its synonyma were respectively published.
