8' INTRODUCTION. 



Since my return from the West Indies in 1914, I have either based 

 several papers on the results of my work there or have utilized those 

 results in connection with other papers. The following is the list:

I wish here to record my thanks to President Woodward, of the 

 Carnegie Institution of Washington, and to Dr. George Otis Smith, the 

 Director, and Dr. David White, the Chief Geologist, of the United 

 States Geological Survey, for the support they have given these inves- 

 tigations. It also gives me pleasure to express my deep appreciation 

 of the efforts of my scientific colleagues in making proper studies of the 

 rather large collections that I was so fortunate as to assemble.
