This book began with the desire by the editors to create a publication to honour Dr Peter Forey (Fig. 1) in recognition of his great contribution to fish systematics and palaeobiogeography. This preface gives a brief review of some of his accomplishments and a list of his publications to date. Peter Forey started his palaeontological career as a research student of Brian Gardiner at Queen Elizabeth College, University of London from 1968–1971.

In 1972, sometime after graduation (during which period he had several jobs, including working for a security firm) he applied for, and secured, the position of Assistant professor in Zoology at the University of Alberta. He remained in this post until 1975 when he joined the fossil fish section in the Department of Palaeontology at the Natural History Museum, London. Here, working with Colin Patterson, he became one of the prime movers in getting phylogenetic systematics (or cladistics as it became called) accepted by the palaeontology community.
This new method for analysing phylogenies was being developed in the 1970s following the publication of a paper on phylogenetic systematics in English (Hennig 1966). The fossil fish section and other researchers from the Natural History Museum (including Peter, Colin, Chris Humphries (Botanist), Dick Vane-Wright (Entomologist) and, on occasion, Brian Gardiner and Gareth Nelson) had many fruitful discussions in a public house local to the museum, which became known as the Cladists Arms. The cladistic methodology was viewed antagonistically by many palaeontologists at the time and finally a special session was set aside at the 26th Symposium of Vertebrate Palaeontology and Comparative Anatomy held in 1978 at Reading University, England, to discuss the issue. The promotion of cladistics by the Natural History Museum speakers at this symposium led to some sharp exchanges in the pages of Nature journal (Halstead 1978; Halstead & White 1978; Gardiner et al. 1979). These discussions and disputes eventually led to the 1981 publication by Rosen, Forey, Patterson & Gardiner entitled Lungfishes, tetrapods, palaeontology and plesiomorphy. On the face of it, this was a publication describing the anatomical details of the snouts of tetrapods, lobe-finned fishes and lungfishes, and their conclusion was that tetrapods were more closely related to the lungfish rather than other lobe-finned fishes (in particular the osteolepiforms), which was the accepted idea at that time. This caused quite a stir but mainly because Rosen et al. criticised the traditional methods of working out ancestor-descendant relationships, where it was deemed important that fossils played a large part. They again argued in strong terms for cladistic methodology where relationships should be inferred from extant forms alone without reference to fossils. Their apparent dismissal of fossils and contradiction of the accepted origins of tetrapods led to some very vitriolic reviews of their paper (especially Jarvik 1981) and they became known as the gang of four.
The first use of this term in print has not been traced but it culminated with Henry Gee (1999) using it as a chapter heading in a book where he describes the history of the Rosen et al. 1981 paper and the reaction of the palaeontology community to it. Now that cladistic methodology is accepted it is difficult to understand the heated arguments and discussions that went on in the literature of the 1970s and 1980s, and Peter Forey's papers reflect this time of change.
Peter continued to champion cladistics and educate a new generation. Starting in 1983 with An Introduction to Cladistics', Peter has published many papers and books on cladistics and his most up-to-date contributions are a series of articles Cladistics for Palaeontologists in the Palaeontology Newsletter (2005–2006) of the Palaeontological Association (UK). His background in lecturing also proved important for the development of cladistics at the Natural History Museum when in 1990 Peter, together with Chris Humphries, David Williams, Darrell Siebert and Ian Kitching, set up a course on cladistics for museum staff and MSc students and was one of the lead lecturers.
Undoubtedly Peter's other outstanding contributions have been on coelacanths (see Forey 1980, 1984a, 1988, 1989, 1990b, 1991a, 1991c) culminating in his book History of Coelacanth Fishes (1998c). He is without doubt the world authority on coelacanths.
Peter has also published extensively on lungfishes, (e.g. Forey 1986), and their relationship to tetrapods (Forey et al. 1991).
Peter's other contributions to taxonomy concern the controversial PhyloCode, about which he published a description and commentary (see Forey 2001c, 2002c).
Peter has made valuable contributions to many other fields including palaeobiogeography (Forey 1981a, 1985a; Hilton & Forey 2005b). He has established himself as an outstanding teleost taxonomist with numerous publications throughout his career from the 1970s (Forey 1970, 1973a, 1973b–c, 1975, 1977) up to more recently (Forey & Patterson 2006). His extensive knowledge of fishes has been put to good use as he has, for many years, helped to identify the catches at the Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo and to select specimens for museum collections (Fig. 2). He has also made contributions to the study of more primitive fishes including on the origin of agnathans (Forey 1984c, 1995a, Forey & Janvier 1993, 1994, 1995b) and on placoderms (Forey & Gardiner 1986). All of this is borne out by the fact that he has published over 114 peer-reviewed papers, 24 other articles and book reviews and written or contributed to 21 books and is still actively researching and writing. These are a lasting testimony to Peter Forey's accomplishments.
