 seul, Volumes I-XXVI, Paris, 1864-1889. 



The Osborn Library has issued during the year Volume VI 

 of Fossil Vertebrates in the American Museum of Natural 

 History. This volume is composed of the collected papers 

 from the department which have appeared in the Bulletin of 

 the American Museum during the years 191 5-19 17. The dis- 

 tribution of exchange publications has been greatly curtailed 

 and likewise incoming exchanges have been greatly decreased, 

 both unavoidable under the present circumstances. 



The publications of The American Museum of Natural His- 

 tory for the current year are composed of the Annual Report, 

 the Bulletin, the Memoirs, the Anthropological 

 ica ions p a p erSf the American Museum Journal, the 

 Handbook and the Guide Leaflet. 



The Annual Report gives each year a summary of the ad- 

 ministrative, scientific and educational activities of the institu- 

 tion ; it is particularly pertinent to all who are interested in the 

 welfare and progress of The American Museum of Natural 

 History. 



The Bulletin is a strictly scientific publication, giving in a 

 number of separate articles the results of the research in the 

 various departments other than Anthropology. These are of 

 interest mainly to the professional student. During 1918 the 

 Bulletin contained nine articles on Invertebrate Zoology, four 

 on Ichthyology and Herpetology, five on Mammalogy and 

 Ornithology and three on Vertebrate Palaeontology. 



The Memoirs are composed of scientific monographs, ex- 

 haustive in their nature and extensively illustrated. During 

 19 18 three Memoirs have been issued — one on the fossil horses 

 of North America, another on the living and extinct land 

 mammals of Porto Rico and a third being illustrations in color 

 of the North American Catocala, a. genus of moths. 



The Anthropological Papers are devoted exclusively to the 

 results of field work and other researches conducted by the 

 anthropological staff. In the year 19 18 twelve parts have 

 appeared, dealing with various phases of the life of the Black- 

 foot, Apache, Crow, Yukaghir, Eskimo and Philippine tribes.
