12(5 The American Geologist. Augast, 1894 
limis of new species, bul of late years he 1ms been contributing largelj 
to tli«' publications of the States of Indiana and Illinois. In the presenl 
instance he has 100 pages devoted to Fossils. 'Phis section was issued 
as a separate in September, 1892, separately paged. There is no men- 
tion of this facl in the present volume, which is to be regretted, since 
there may be in time, when the species come to be referred to, some 
difficulty about ascertaining the date of first publication. .Main persons 
will see this volume who will not know of the separates, and errors of 
reference are likely to result. There are 76 new species described, and 
il is interesting to note that of these less than one-half (36) are from 
Indiana, most of the others being from Missouri. It is also noticeable 
that only 12out of the i(> are in the state museum at Indianapolis, the 
other types being in the collections of Mr. Mjller and other gentlemen 
who have collected them. J. v. J.
