INTRODUCTION. 
The most important contribution to the literature of this subject during 
the year lias been the completion and publication of Hall & Clarke’s 
“ Introduction to the Study of the Genera of Palreozoic Brachiopoda, 
Part II’’ (14). A few copies of portions, as already noted, were issued in 
1893 and 1894, but were not on sale. The work concludes with a sum- 
mary, “ The Evolution of the Genera of Palaeozoic Brachiopoda,” and a 
table of classification. This last differs in several important respects 
from that proposed by Schuchert in 1893. The same authors have 
also completed thoir ‘‘Introduction to the Study of the Brachiopoda” 
(12 & 13), in both the 4to and the 8vo form. 
Miss Crane (6) has given an admirable and most readable summary of 
the present state of knowledge concerning the evolution of the group, 
accompanied by a valuable and copious bibliography. 
Attention may also be called to the monograph by WlNClIELL & 
Schuciiert (27) on Lower Silurian forms from Minnesota. 
No work of importance has appeared on recent species.
