—A statement by me in the December Naturalist, relative to 
Mr. Harger’s participation in the authorship of the volume on the 
Dinocerata, it has been claimed was unjust. Injustice to no one 
was intended, nor was there any personal feeling in the matter. 
My sole desire was to make it known, as no one else could, that a 
very large portion of Mr. Harger’s scientific labors for the past 
seventeen years has been quite unknown to the scientific world. 
This is conceded by those most interested in the matter, and any 
details as to the precise part of the work that he committed to 
paper is immaterial. Professor Marsh insists that a portion of the 
descriptive matter of the Dinocerata was written by himself, and 
presents evidence which I will admit sustains his assertion. The 
chapters on the brain and skull I have in my notice of Mr. Harger 
conceded to him without in any way affecting the general fact. He 
must and will admit that a considerable part of the work was pre- 
pared by Mr. Harger without his name appearing anywhere as its 
author. I have nothing to say as to whether such a course was 
right or wrong. Others, with Professor Marsh, may claim that an 
author has a right to hire and pay for scientific work, without its 
being any one else’s affair. I do say, however, without fear of 
denial, that much of the valuable scientific work published by Pro- 
fessor Marsh has been due to the conscientious accuracy, soun 
judgment, and general scientific scholarship of Mr. Harger. The 
bibliography was almost wholly prepared by myself, but was 5° 
modified that I should be loth to have its authorship imputed to 
me.—S. W. Williston, Yale College, New Haven. :
