the Reports of Professor Hall. A few of the Palisozoic figures, and many of 

 later periods, are from original drawings made by Mr. F. B. Meek, to whose 

 artistic skill and palaeontological science the work is, throuo-hout, greatly 

 indebted. The drawings were nearly all made on the wood for^eneraving by 

 Mr. Meek ; and the pateontological pages have had the benefit of his revision.

In selecting figures of foreign fossils for the Manual, those used in Lyell's 

 and other standard English works have, with few exceptions, been avoided, so 

 that the student owning any of those volumes will have additional illustrations 

 of the science. Many of the foreign figures are from the beautifully illustrated 



iumbus, Ohio; e'. BillTngs, of Montreal, Canada; E. Jewett, of Albany, N. Y.; 

 and VV. L. Minor and Frank H. Bradley, of New Haven. Mr. Bradley has

By printing the details in a finer type the book has been adapted to 

 two classes ot students— the literary and scientific. The convenience of 

 a literary class has been further provided for by the addition of a brief 

 synopsis of the work in which each head is made to present a subject, 

 or question for special attention. A catalogue of American localities 

 of fossils IS also in the Appendix and will greatly aid the researches of 

 young collectors. ^ 



The printer, publisher, and engraver have each done their best to make 

 this volume attractive and useful. The wood-cuts in particular are of 

 unusual excellence, and show the value of condensation and good taste m 

 arrangement in saving space, the wonder being that over one thousand 

 tgures can he so compendiously and clearly exhibited. »-.
