Excerpt from Bibliography and Catalogue of the Fossil Vertebrata of North America The purpose of this bibliography and catalogue is to present a list of all the species of fossil vertebrates which have been described, up to the end of the year 1900, from all that part of the continent of North America lying north of Mexico, and to furnish a guide to the literature relating to all these extinct forms of organized beings. The number of species is so great and the literature describing them is so vast and so widely scattered that even the experts in the science of vertebrate paleontology have great difficulty in making and keeping themselves fully informed as to what has already been done and what is being done. It is hoped that this work will relieve students of much tedious and often unavailing search. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
