I was very surprised to know by reading this book that we had such wonderful ammonites here in Hokkaido. I was also impressed with the fact that the content of this book is profound and useful in the future. This book is a fruit of the efforts of the devotees, who supported the progress of science. The world will memorize that the publication was achieved not by the specialists but by the amateur devotees.
