K0.1442. JAMES TYPES OF BRYOZOA—BASSLER. 5 



9. The Paleontologist, No. ti, pp. 45-56, Cincinnati, Sept. 12, 1882. 



This number is devoted entirely to species of Moutlcalipora and contains 

 descriptions of both the external and internal features of the following: 

 Monticulipora {Heterotri/jxi) dintonensw, M. (H.) circularw, M. (H.) onealli? 

 rar. communis, M. {H. f) eccentrica, M. {H.) winchelli, M. {H. f) cleare- 

 landi, M. {Monotrypa) wortheni, M. (M.) vjelchi, M. {M. f) suhfusiformis, 

 and M. {M.) diichel. 



10. The Paleontologist, No. 7, pp. 57-59, pls. i, ii, Cincinnati, April 18, 1883. 



Describes Mont'mdipora kentuckensis and Ilelupora hari-isi. 



The plates contain rough sketches of the Bryozoa described in this and the pre- 

 ceding number of the Paleontologist. These figures are of little or no value 

 in the identification of the species. 



All of the above references are to pamphlets published privately by 

 Mr. .Fames. Some writers, notably Mr. S. A. Miller in his North 

 American Geology and Paleontology, have ignored these pamphlets 

 altogether, mainly because of their obscure mode of publication, but 

 also because many of the species are "not defined so as to be recog- 

 nized.'" Other writers have adopted some of Mr. James's specific 

 names and rejected others, but inasmuch as all of these papers fill the 

 requirements of publication, there is no reason for ignoring the work 

 as a whole, no matter how difhcult it may be to recognize the species 

 described. The A. O. IT, Code of Nomenclature states that " Publi- 

 cation consists in the public sale or distribution of printed matter, 

 books, pamphlets, or plates'" (Canon XLVII), but recommends that 

 authors avoid publishing in obscure pamphlets of limited circulation. 

 The Paleontologist, although certainly of the class to be avoided, must 

 be recognized under the rules since copies were distributed to some 

 extent b}^ the author, and were also placed on sale at his book store in 

 Cincinnati, where they may still be obtained. 



The following references are to articles appearing in the proceed- 

 ings of a well established scientific SQciet}^ and hence there is no ques- 

 tion in regard to their recognition as publications: 



11. Descriptions OF Three Species OF Fossils. Journal CiNciNN.vn Society Natu- 



ral History, VII, 1884, pp. 21-24. 



Describes and gives fairly good illustrations of two bryozoa, Fistulipora oiveni 

 and Ceramopora f heani. 



12. Descriptions of Four New Species of Fossils from the Cincinnati Group. 



Journal Cincinnati Society Natural History, VII, 1884, pp. 137-139, pl. vii. 



Describes and illustrates two new bryozoa, Monticidipora ohioensis and M. 



fal-esi. The article also includes descriptions and figm-esof more or less 



weathered examples of Ceramoporella, which are referred to, Stromatopora 



under the name of S. tubularis and aS". Ludloivensis.
