Terres," or " Bad Lands," and occurring along the Missouri and its 
tributaries, White River, Milk River, Platte, Eau qui Court, &c. 
The banks and beds of these and other streams likewise contain rich 
treasures of fossil bones. Similar remains are to be looked for in all 
caves, peat bogs, alluvial soil, marl pits, fissures in rocks and other 
localities throughout North America. 
A list of the principal species of large North American animals is 
subjoined, with reference to the collection of skins, skulls, horns, and 
skeletons. For the purpose of having complete series in the different 
stages of age and sex, and for supplying other museums, it is desira- 
ble to have a considerable number of the skulls of each species. When 
possible, at least one skeleton should be procured. It must, however, 
be remembered, that a single tooth or bone of an animal, in the 
absence of anything more, will be of importance. Each specimen 
should, as far as practicable, have the approximate age, sex, and 
locality distinctly marked on the bone in pen or pencil.
