SKETCH OF EDWARD D. COPE. 113 



than thirty papers, published separately in advance by Professor Cope 

 as " Paleontological Bulletins," were included in the official reports 

 of the Government geological surveys of the Territories as special re- 

 ports of the departments of the work which were assigned to him, in- 

 cluding general geology, and the identification, classification, and 

 descriptions of new fossils and species. Among papers which do not 

 fall exactly under any of these heads may be mentioned those " On the 

 Fresh- Water Origin of Certain Deposits in West New Jersey "; "The 

 Birds of Palestine and Panama compared"; " On some New and Little- 

 known Myriapoda from the Southern Alleghanies " ; "Intelligence in 

 Monkeys "; " The Significance of Paleontology"; " Biological Research 

 in the United States"; articles on "Osteology" and "Comparative 

 Anatomy " in Johnson's " Cyclopaedia "; " Excursions of the Geological 

 Society of France"; "The Fauna of the Lowest Tertiary of France"; 

 " A New Deer from Indiana"; "The Modern Museum"; "Pliocene 

 Man," etc. His papers on evolution form a separate department. Pro- 

 fessor Cope has been a diligent student of this subject, and has opin- 

 ions of his own upon it. Among his principal contributions to its lit- 

 erature are : " On the Origin of Genera " (1868) ; " Method of Creation 

 of Organic Types" (1871); "Evolution and its Consequences " (1872); 

 "Homologies and Origin of the Molar Teeth of Mammalia Educa- 

 bilia" (1874); "Consciousness in Evolution" (1875); "Relation of 

 Man to Tertiary Mammalia " (1875) ; " On the Theory of Evolution " 

 (1876) ; "The Origin of the Will" (1877) ; "The Relation of Animal 

 Motion to Animal Evolution " (1878) ; and " A Review of the Modern 

 Doctrine of Evolution" (1879). 



Professor Cope was for a long time Secretary and Curator of the 

 Academy of Natural Sciences, of Philadelphia, and was chief of the 

 Department of Organic Material of the Permanent Exposition of that 

 city. He received the Bigsby gold medal of the Royal Geological So- 

 ciety of Great Britain in 1879 ; is a member of the Geological Society 

 of France, and of the American Association for the Advancement of 

 Science.
