Overview

Excerpt from Bulletin of the United States National Museum, Vol. 2: Catalogue of the Type and Figured Specimens of Fossils Minerals, Rocks, and Ores; Fossil Vertebrates, Fossil Plants; Mineral, Rocks, and Ores This volume forms Part II of the Catalogue of Type Specimens in the Department of Geology, in the United States National Museum, Part I of which was issued in 1905. It was expected that the two parts would form one volume. It became evident, however, that such a volume would be cumbersome, and hence it was divided into two parts, the first being devoted wholly to fossil invertebrates. Part II therefore comprises Section II, devoted to fossil vertebrates; Section III, to fossil plants, and Section IV, to minerals, rocks, and ores. As with Part I, the catalogue closes with January I, 1905. NO changes of importance have been made, and it remains only to note that the work of supervising the preparation of Section II, which it was expected would fall upon Mr. Lucas, was assigned to others, as is mentioned in the introduction.
