374 PALEONTOLOGY 



It covers Jurassic and Cretaceous Corals, Echinoderms, 

 Bryozoa, Brachiopoda, Mollusca and Plants, also Eocene 

 Echinoids. 



GOLDFUSS, G. A. AND MuNSTER, G. Petrefacta Ger 

 maniae, 2 vols. (1826-40). An equally ambitious design 

 for Germany, limited in execution to Sponges, Corals, 

 Echinoderms, and Mollusca. 



HALL, J. Palaeontology of New York (1848-98). A 

 series of elaborate monographs on the Palaeozoic Fossils 

 of New York State. 



LAMARCK, J. B. DE M. Histoire Naturelle des Ani- 

 maux sans Vertebres (1815-22). 



SOWERBY, J., CONTINUED BY SOWERBY, J. DE C. 



Mineral Conchology of Great Britain (1812-46). Pub- 

 lished in monthly parts, with interruptions, its object was to 

 figure British fossil shells, i.e., Mollusca as then understood 

 (including Foraminifera, Cirripedia, Annelida, Brachio- 

 poda, and, by mistake, one Coral). In all about 1,250 

 species were described, and figured on 648 plates, en- 

 graved on metal and coloured by hand with great faith- 

 fulness to the natural appearance. There is no system 

 in the sequence of species, and as British stratigraphy 

 underwent its development during the publication the 

 geological age is much better treated in the later than in 

 the earlier parts. Many of the types described were 

 unfortunately derived fossils from the Glacial Drift. 



The above lists might be extended indefinitely, but 

 their object is to give the student a first general idea of 

 the sort of material available for the purpose of identify- 

 ing the fossils in his collections, and for extending his 

 knowledge in any department that may specially interest 

 him.
