The collection of Fossil Mammalia made by Prof. E. D. Cope, was 
recently sold to the American Museum of Natural History of New 
York. It includes 470 species, of which 402 are types of species first 
described by Prof. Cope. The species were collected between 1872 and 
1895, and were derived from eleven geological horizons. 
Two of our paleontologists had the misfortune to break their arms 
during the winter that has just passed. We refer to Profs. Henry F. 
Osborn and Angelo Heilprin. Both have nearly recovered.
