 report of the work which has been done, and it will be necessary 

 to postpone this until the report for 1893 shall be out of press.

 during the period of ten years, while means were furnished 

 for field collections, has never been fully overhauled and

 amount of material, selecting the better specimens for the

 the names of the class of fossils which they contain. Of the old
