type fossils from the Clinton beds at Arisaig, Nova Scotia, 
described by Hall in Volume V of the Canadian Naturalist and 
Geologist; many of the Devonian and higher forms described by 
the same author in the Geology of Towa and the Supplement to the 
Lowa Report, the latter being republished with figures by Whit- 
field in Mem. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., Volume I, Part 1; several 
type specimens of the Dictyospongide, some of which have 
been described by Whitfield in the Bulletin of the Am. Mus. Nat. 
ffist., Volume I, and others by Hall and Clarke in a Wemoir on 
the Paleozoic Keticulate Sponges; Hall and Meek’s types from the 
Cretaceous of the Bad Lands of Dakota, Nebraska, and Wyo- 
ming, described in the Memoirs of the American Academy of Sct- 
ence and Arts, Volume V; the fruits and seeds from the Eocene 
beds at Brandon, Vt., described by Lesquereux and published in 
Hitchcock’s Geology of Vermont; and some of the Cephalopoda, 
Gastropoda, and Lamellibranchiata described by Whitfield in his 
U.S. Geological Survey monographs on the Cretaceous and Ter- 
tary Fossils of New Jersey. The museum also has the Holmes 
collection, which includes more than two hundred of the speci- 
mens described and figured by Tuomey and Holmes’s Pletocene 
Fossils of South Carolina and in Francis S. Holmes’s work on the 
Post-Pleiocene Fossils of South Carolina. The fossils described in 
the various bulletins and memoirs of the American Museum of 
Natural History are here as a matter of course. In addition to 
the republication of certain of Hall’s types already mentioned, 
there have been described and illustrated in the Budletin a large 
series of fossils of Chazy and Birdseye age from Fort Cassin, 
Vt.; Beekmantown, N. Y., and other localities on Lake Cham- 
plain, and many Cretaceous forms from Beirtt, Syria, and from 
Jamaica, W. I. 
The catalogue has been issued in four parts. Part I, includ- 
ing the Cambrian and Lower Silurian forms, was issued in July, 
1898; Part II, containing the Upper Silurian specimens, was 
issued in October, 1899; Part III, comprising the Devonian 
forms, came out in October, 1900; Part IV, containing the speci- 
mens from the Lower Carboniferous to the Quaternary inclusive.
