BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTICE. 
A Olassed and Annotated Bibliography of the Palwozore Crustacea, 
1698-1892, to which is added a Catalogue of North-American 
Species. By Anrnony W. Voepus. 8vo. 412 pages. San Fran- 
cisco, California Academy of Sciences, June 1893. 
In the ‘Annals and Magazine of Natural History’ for April 1890 
a short notice was given of a ‘Catalogue of the North-American 
non-Trilobitic Palaeozoic Crustacea” prepared by the same Author 
(Captain A. W. Vogdes, of the U.S. Artillery), who has now supplied 
Palontologists with the elaborate and careful Bibliography before 
us, to which the Trilobites of North America are added in a full and 
lucid catalogue, as well as an augmented list of the other paleozoic 
Crustacea of that region. 
A preparatory edition appeared in the ‘ Bulletin of the United- 
. States Geological Survey,’ No. 63, 8vo. Washington, 177 pages. 
The later and far more complete work has been brought out as 
No. iv. of the “Occasional Papers of the California Academy of 
Sciences,” and is a highly creditable result of the Author’s pains- 
taking enthusiasm, and of the Academy’s well-directed liberality. 
Part ithe << Bibliography ” itself, occupies pages 3-252, giving 
the Authors? names alphabetically, with the titles of the papers, place 
of their publication, &c., and a full list of the species therein treated 
of. This is very satisfactory, though misprints occur here, and 
there are some errata besides those mentioned at page 413. There 
is an appendix to the Bibliography at pp. 409-411. Useful notes 
are given in many cases as to the memoirs or some portions of 
their contents. 
In Part II. we have a good “ Catalogue of North-American species 
of Trilobites ” (pages 259-360), preceded by ‘¢ A Systematic Classi- 
fication of the Genera” (pp. 253-258), with the names of Authors, 
formations, and types, reference to publications, and dates. The 
names of genera, with synonyms, sections, and subgenera, are care- 
fully distinguished in the printing; and the references, geological 
stages, and localities appear to have been very carefully attended to. 
The genera are arranged alphabetically. 
In Part III. a ‘Catalogue of North-American non-Trilobites ” 
occupies pages 369-408; and a classification of the ‘“‘ Merostomata, 
Phyllocarida, Bivalved Entomostraca, Isopoda, Cirripedse, Decapoda, 
Schizopoda, Amphipoda, Stromapoda,” precedes it, at pp. 361-369. 
These are all of Paleozoic age, and their grouping is to some extent 
provisional. The non- Trilobitic Crustacea found fossil in North 
America are enumerated on the same plan, and with equal care and 
precision, as the Trilobites referred to above. 
Altogether this bibliographic work on the Paleozoic Crustacea is 
to be welcomed by Geologists both at home and abroad. The 
scrupulous care of the Author has raised it far above the level of 
some catalogues of fossils; and his conscientious and modest nature 
leads him to recognize the probable requirement of cautious correc- 
tions and additions, which he has asked his readers and fellow- workers 
to supply him with as far as they can. In the meantime we thank 
him for this excellent Bibliography , and the California Academy for 
issuing it to the world.
