Many people made this project possible in Japan and Canada. We thank all the staff and students at the Institute of Geology and Paleontology, Tohoku University, who assisted the authors in many ways from developing film to setting up equipment. We give special thanks to Dr. Y. Tanimura (National Science Museum, Tokyo, Shinjuku branch), who helped Scott locate type material in the museum. Scott went through these and subsequently placed all of Kuwano’s types into the main museum collection. Unfortunately, many of the types were ruined because they had no cover slips, but at least some were saved. Chloe Younger and Tom Duffett of the Centre for Marine Geology scanned all the slides and worked on the images for the plates and the CD-ROM. The work was funded by a Bilateral Exchange Programme of the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC, Canada). Some of the finishing work was funded by an NSERC research grant to Scott.
