INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION.  Se¥° 
THE accompanying catalogue is of the types and other speci- 
mens described and used in the paleontological work done by 
R. P. Whitfield in the several reports and papers published 
under his name, from time to time, with the exception of those 
described and figured in the bulletins and memoirs of the 
American Museum of Natural History, in New York City. 
Of all the forms used in the museum publications by R. P. 
Whitfield, the originals are to be found in the museum collec- 
tions. Consequently it has not been deemed necessary to 
burden the catalogue by including them. 
The generic and specific names given in the catalogue are 
those under which they are published, and it has not been 
considered desirable to attempt to refer them to more recently 
adopted names given or proposed by various authors. 
The first column gives the name under which the species or 
specimen is described. The second column gives a citation of 
the work where it is to be found. The third column gives the 
name of the collection or institution where the specimen is sup-

(1898), so far as known to the writer. The fourth column 
mentions the geological formation to which the specimen or
