Abstract
A SERIES of exhibits illustrating the “Succession of Life through Geological Time”, from the origin of life perhaps a thousand million years ago to the emergence of man within the last million years, has just been opened to the public in one of the geological galleries of the British Museum (Natural History). Each geological period is represented by a small selection of the fossil remains of plants and animals which lived in those times, showing how fossils reflect past conditions, and how the various forms of life developed and reacted on one another in slowly changing environments. The great amount of war damage still to be repaired will make it impossible to open all the geological galleries to the public for some time to come ; and in the meantime this new series of exhibits will serve as a general introduction to the study of fossils.
