A handbook of the genera of the North American Paleozoic Bryozoa. 

 With an introduction upon the structure of living species. (Fourteenth 

 Ann. Rep. State Geologist New York for the year 1894, Albany, 1895 

 [distributed 1897], pp. 407-608, pis. A-E, i-xxv.) This report of the 

 State Geologist also appears as part of the Forty-eighth Annual Report 

 of the New York State Museum. 



To give a critical review of this work would require a volume in itself. The 

 "Historical introduction," " Bibliography of recent forms," and the account of the 

 structure of the polypide, or living animal, are valuable, bringing together, as they 

 do, much useful knowledge. The list of North American species is but a condensa- 

 tion from Miller's North American Geology and Paleontology, without an attempt 

 even to refer anj' of tlie si^ecies to the new genera described in succeeding pages of the 

 Handbook. The "Descriptions of Families and Genera" forms the most disappoint- 

 ing part of the work. Many new, and generally needless, family names are proposed. 

 As one of numerous similar examples, we may mention that the family ^Nlonticuli- 

 porida; is defined as embracing forms with cystiphragms and no interstitial cells, and 

 then a new family, Prasoporidse, is proposed for forms having cystiphragms and 

 interstitial cells. But the genus Monticulipora often has interstitial cells, and, more- 

 over, Simpson figures it so. Many of the genera proposed are very artificial and in 

 at least one instance imaginary (see remark under Lyropora in the Catalogue follow- 

 ing). Diagnoses of genera by other authors are in some cases put in quotation marks, 

 liut are entirely misquoted; misspellings of generic and specific names are frequent; 

 a -number of important genera are omitted, whether designedly or not is not stated; 

 sometimes reproductions of figures of other authors, and also of Hall and Simpson, 

 are given under different names; some specific names, which are foimd nowhere else, 

 are given without explanation or definition. 



The new generic names found in tliis handbook are l^yrojtoridra, Anastomopora, 

 Thamnocella, Stictocella, Stictoporidra (page 527; called Stictoporina by error on 

 page 532), Fistuliporina, Fistuliporella, Ptilocella, Fistuliporidra, Fistulicella.
