Preparation of Catalogues. 



Part IV. of Mr. R. Lydekker's Catalogue of the Fosvsil 

 Reptilia and Amphibia, (containing the orders Anomodontia, 

 the Ecaudata, the Caudata and Labyrinthodontia ; and a 

 supplement), pp. xxiv. and 29G, with 06 woodcuts, appeard

Mr. Lydekker has since been engaged upon a Monograph 

 Catalogue of the Fossil Bird-remains in the Museum Col-

Part II. of Mr. A. Smith Woodward's Catalogue of the 

 Fossil Fishes, illustrated with 16 plates and 54 woodcuts, is 

 all in type, and will be ready for publication early in 1891. 



Part II. of Mr. Arthur H. Foord's Catalogue of the Fossil 

 Cephalopoda, containing the Nautilidw, is also all in type, and 

 will be ready for publication early in February. 



The list of genera and species of Eocene Mollusca in the 

 Edward's Collection (including the other " types," preserved 

 in the Wetherell, Dixon, and Bowerbank collections in the 

 Geological Department) is nearly complete, and will, it is
