PER OF TRANSMITTAL. 
CotumBiA CoLLece, New York, 
February 1, 1889. 
Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith the text and plates of a 
memoir on the Paleozoic Fishes of North America. 
In this I have endeavored to give references to all notices of our older 
fossil fishes hitherto published, and have added to them descriptions and 
figures of all such as have come under my observation which have seemed 
to me to be new to science. 
With great respect, your obedient servant, 
J. S. NEWBERRY. 
Hon. J. W. Powe 1, 
Director U. S. Geological Survey.
