ON SOME RECENT LITERATURE BEARING 
ON THE LARAMIE FORMATION.* 
By O. P. Hay. 
The firsltj two papers of those whose titles are here recorded 
have provoked the utterance of most of the others ; and of the 
two, the first is a summing up of the results and conclusions to 
be derived fronil the second, the largest and most elaborate on 
the list. 
Mr. Lambe, a member of the Geological Survey of Canada, 
had during the years 1897, 1898, and 1901, made large collec- 
tions of fossil bones from the deposits known as Belly River 
series. The localities especially explored by him lie along the 
Red Deer river, in the Province of Alberta. A study of his 
collections has resulted in the important publication cited 
above. The species which he has described and abundantly 
figured consist principally of reptiles, but there are in addition 
five fishes, one batrachian, and two mammals. Two fishes, 
twelve reptiles, and two mammals are described as new. Sev- 
enteen forms are identified with species already described. For 
the reception of new species four new genera are established. 
Mr. Lambe is to be congratulated on the workmanlike manner 
in which he has studied and presented this fauna. It is evident 
that the Cretaceous deposits north of the 49th parallel are rich
