Paleontology of Missouri, Part I.‘—This memoir is a concise 
account of the fossil invertebrate fauna of Missouri prepared by the 
State Geologist, C. R. Keyes with reference to the distinct economic 
importance that organic remains have in determining the age of rocks 
and hence aiding to develop the mineral wealth of the state. Follow- 
ing the introductory chapter is a brief sketch of the stratigraphy of the 
state and an explanation of the biological relations of fossils. The re- 
maining pages are devoted to descriptions of the invertebrate fossils of 
the state which have passed under the personal observation of the 
author. 
For illustration the leading Missouri species of each genus has been 
figured, and also some forms heretofore described but not figured, mak- 
ing in all 20 plates. In addition many typical exposures of rocks are 
well represented.
