PUBLICATIONS OF THE MUSEUM. 



The series of publications of the Field Columbian Museum, of 

 which this is a number, began with "An Historical and Descriptive 

 Account of the* Field Columbian Museum." Contributions to the 

 series are not restricted in authorship or subject if coming within the 

 scope of scientific or technical discussion and supporting the high 

 standard it is hoped the publications will maintain. 



The publications include transactions, memoirs, monographs, 

 bulletins, handbooks, and catalogues of collections, and are numbered 

 consecutively but are also sectional in character. Each series has a 

 separate pagination and volumes: the literature of eachscience or 

 general subject is in this way rendered consecutive and complete 

 for binding.

Pub. i. Hist. Series Vol, i, No. i. An Historical and Descriptive 

 Account of the Field Columbian Museum.
