The above is printed on the yellow paper cover of the first 
edition. The page references to the species have been added 
in brackets. The other pages of cover are blank. Then 
follows title page, as follows: 
Fossil shells | of the | Tertiary formations | of | North 
America, | Illustrated by figures drawn on stone, | from na¬ 
ture. | —- | By T. A. Conrad, | Member of the Acad. Nat. Sc. 
of Philada. | — | Vol. 1. | — | Philadelphia. | 1832. | 
Then follows blank page; page [iii] with dedication to 
Samuel George Morton, M. D., signed T. A. C.; page [iv] 
with preface, which ends on page viii and is dated October 
1, 1832. Pages 9 to 14 contain the “ Introduction. Brief 
review of the Tertiary formations of the United States,” and 
pages 15-20 descriptions of species, headed, page 15, “ Fossil 
Shells, &c” Lastly, there are plates 1-6. The whole in 8°. 
Mr. Meek has noted on his copy that Part 1 was distrib¬ 
uted about July or August, 1832 (see Am. Journ. Sci., 1st 
ser., vol. 23, p. 204, Jan., 1833). But this, in view of the date 
of the introduction, must be regarded as applying only to 
proofs more or less complete of the pages of descriptions and 
the plates. The notice referred to is said to have been writ¬ 
ten by Dr. Morton.
