the beautiful and accurate drawings with which the report is illustrated. 

 Most of the illustrations were prepared by Dr. J. C. McConnell, whose 

 recent death is deeply deplored by all students of paleontology. His 

 knowledge of the requirements of paleontological illustration made his 

 contributions in this field to any scientific work almost equal in value to 

 that of the recognized author. Dr. McConnell has prepared many hundreds 

 of drawings for the various Maryland reports, not only for the Eocene 

 and Miocene volumes now before the public, but likewise for the Devonian 

 and Pliocene-Pleistocene reports which have yet to appear. It is a cause 

 of deep regret to us that his work is ended.
