"This booklet was produced in conjunction with a special temporary exhibition in the British Museum (Natural History) to mark the 50th anniversary of the discovery of Latimeria Chalumnae."
"This book began with the desire of the editors to create a publication to honour Dr. Peter Forey in recognition of his great contribution to fish systematics and palaeobiogeography"--p. [1]
