In the outset of the Inquiry, it was observed, that the Greek language is a language of regular structure, forming its roots within itself. Following out this idea, I have, in different parts of the investigation, had recourse to the line of cognates and derivatives, as the surest aids for conducting us to the radical sense of a word, where the immediate root appeared to have fallen into difuse, or the signification had diverged considerably from the primitive idea. The grounds upon which I have thus proceeded, may require elucidation.

The new species here described were found in the course of the work of the Lake Survey on Loch Ness and other Highland Lochs. Half of the number were found in lakes, though they are not exclusively lacustrine, three in ponds, two from moss growing on the shores of Loch Ness, and one in a stream running into Loch Ness.

The innervation of the vascular system is a subject which has engrossed the attention of physiologists ever since the days of Galen. Yet, notwithstanding the number of distinguished observers who have contributed to our knowledge of this difficult topic, there are still many points of the greatest importance which are enveloped in the deepest obscurity, and not a few regarding which opinions are much at variance.

Our knowledge of the Antarctic fish-fauna has greatly increased during the last ten years. The Belgian expedition to Graham Land (1897–1899) was followed by that of the Southern Cross to Victoria Land (1898–1900), fitted out by Sir George Newnes. Next were the British expedition of the Discovery to Victoria Land and Edward Land (1901–1904), the German voyage of the Gauss to Kerguelen and Willhelm Land (1901–1903), and Nordenskjöld's Swedish expedition to South Georgia, the South Shetlands, and Graham Land. Then came the voyage of the Scotia to the South Orkneys and Coats Land (1902–1904), and Charcot's expeditions to the Palmer Archipelago and Graham Land in the Français. (1904–1905) and the Pourquoi Pas? (1908–1910), and finally Shackleton's expedition (1908–1909).

During her famous circumnavigation of the world, H.M.S. Challenger left the Cape of Good Hope on the 17th December 1873, and, proceeding in a south-easterly direction, visited in succession Prince Edward and Marion Islands, the Crozet Islands, Kerguelen Island, and Heard Island. From Heard Island the Expedition sailed southward, and on the 16th February 1874 passed ten miles beyond the Antarctic Circle in longitude 78° 22′ E., the ship being at this time surrounded by a large number of huge tabular icebergs, some of them four miles in length, and all with perpendicular sides rising about 200 feet above the sea-level. From this most southerly point the Challenger took a north-easterly course towards Melbourne in Australia, where she arrived on the 17th March 1874.

The collection of Hydroids hereafter described was made in the years 1902–4 by the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition ship Scotia, during her cruises in Antarctic and sub-Antarctic seas. For the opportunity of examining the specimens I am indebted to Mr W. S. Bruce, the energetic leader of the expedition; and I also wish to thank Professor J. Arthur Thomson for much assistance and advice in the course of my work. The collection, as here described, coutains 41 specimens, of which 33 are referable to 27 known species distributed among 15 genera, some of them being new varieties; while the remainder have required the establishment of 7 new species and 1 new genus. One specimen remains specifically undetermined. Thus there are in all 18 different genera, represented by 35 different species.
下面所描述的水螅虫的收集是1902 - 1904年由苏格兰国家南极考察船斯科舍号在南极和亚南极海域巡航时收集的。给了我检查标本的机会,我要感谢探险队精力充沛的队长w·s·布鲁斯先生;我还要感谢J. Arthur Thomson教授在我的工作过程中给予我的帮助和建议。本标本共41件,其中33件属27个已知种,分属15属,部分为新变种;而其余的则需要建立7个新种和1个新属。其中一个标本仍未确定。因此,共有18个不同的属,由35个不同的种代表。
