Department of the Interior, 
United States Geological Survey, 
Washington, D. C, February 4, 1903. 
Sir: I transmit herewith, for publication as a bulletin of the Sur- 
vey, a manuscript entitled " Paleontology of the Malone Jurassic 
Formation of Texas,'' by Francis Whittemore Cragin. Professor 
Cragin prepared a large part of this paper in 1899, beginning the 
work while he was a graduate student in Johns Hopkins University. 
Baltimore, and continuing it here under my supervision in accordance 
with authority obtained from you at the time, I have inserted a 
sketch of the stratigraphy of the region and have prepared the accom- 
panying map, using data furnished by Professor Cragin for the por- 
tion of the region referred to in his text. 
I may add that Professor Cragin's collection of Malone fossils is 
now the property of the United States National Museum/ 
Very respectfully, 
T. W. Stanton, Paleontologist. 
Hon. Charles D. Walcott, 
Director United States Geological Survey.
