REPORT OF THE STATE PALEONTOLOGIST I903 1 3 



While the main part of the book is devoted to the biologic arrange- 

 ment of the type material, a second part gives a concise relisting of 

 the species in their stratigraphic arrangement. 



A chief purpose of this record is to make available to students the 

 card catalogue of these types now in the possession of the museum. 

 At the same time it serves to indicate the wealth of the museum in 

 these important elements, of which upward of 5000 are here listed, a 

 number which exceeds all type specimens of paleozoic organisms 

 from the New York rocks in the possession of all other collections 

 taken together. 



This list of type specimens was complete up to the time of going 

 to press, but the progress in our work since then has already necessi- 

 tated the preparation of a second supplementary list including the 

 increase to the present time, and such list is submitted as a part of 

 this report. These accessions to our collection of type specimens now 

 raise the total to 5700. 



Bulletin 66. The Ellis Index to Publications of the New York 

 State Natural History Survey and New York State Museum. This 

 admirable compilation is entitled to special notice here, because of 

 its exhaustive treatment of the paleontologic publications and its 

 index to descriptions of genera and species of fossils. The latter 

 part of the book covering 127 pages was prepared in this office. It 

 has reference solely to dates of publication and undertakes no notice 

 of subsequent revision of generic or specific names. It contains up- 

 ward of 5000 references.
