APPENDIX C 



GENERAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF NORTH AMERICAN INVERTEBRATE 

 INDEX FOSSILS AND FOSSIL FAUNAS (1832-1909). 



The following lists^ include most of the works describing North 

 American invertebrate index fossils or noting their distribution. 

 No pretensions however are made at completeness. They also 

 include a few of the more important purely stratigraphic papers. 

 The publications are arranged in order of age in the following divi- 

 sions: Pre-Cambric, Cambric, Ordovicic, Siluric, Devonic, 

 Mississippic, Carbonic, Permic, Paleozoic Gei^^eral (i. e., papers 

 dealing with two or more Palaeozoic periods), Triassic, Jurassic, 

 CoMANCHic, Cretacic, Mesozoic General {i. e., papers dealing 

 with two or more Mesozoic periods). Tertiary, Pleistocenic, 

 All Ages (z*. e., papers dealing with periods in two or three eras). 

 Under each period the publications are further subdivided for 

 quicker reference into provinces, which for each division are 

 usually the following — Eastern Canada and Maine ; Western Can- 

 ada (Great Lakes — Central British Columbia — Mackenzie), Hud- 

 son Bay and Arctic region; Northern Appalachians and western 

 New England; Southern Appalachians and Atlantic; Northern 

 Mississippi Valley ; Gulf region; Rocky Mountains and Great Basin; 

 Pacific region (California- Alaska) ; Mexico and Central America; 

 West Indies; North America General. Hence, in looking up the 

 publications of a single province or period, the more general list 

 should likewise be consulted, as there are six possible lists for 

 each province. The geographic division of this bibliography is 

 necessarily more along political than natural lines, and hence the 

 divisions given here do not, as a rule, correspond to those adopted 

 in the tables of Appendix B. When the author's name appears in 

 heavy type, the paper contains descriptions or figures of species 

 or is otherwise considered of special importance. In some cases 

 works dealing with special groups only and fully listed under that 



^ In their preparation free use has been made of the U. S. G. S. bibliographic 

 bulletins, nos. 127, 188, 189, 301, ^7^, 409.
