Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Transactions the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences, Vol. 19 On the twelfth of March, 1914, Professor Charles Schuchert, Curator of the Geological Department of the Peabody Museum, Yale University, sent me for revision nearly all the fossil birds (types) that had, in former years, been described, and in some few instances figured, by Professor O. C. Marsh. These did not include the species of the genera Icltlhyorins and Hespcrornis, and one or two others, as they were then receiving the attention of Professor R. S. Lull of the above institution. The material upon which Marsh based his Crus promts could not, after long and careful search, be located, and up to the present writing I have never seen it. Five of the types described by that distinguished palaeontologist were in the collection of the Academy of Xatural Sciences of Philadelphia, and for the loan of these I am under great obligations to Doctor Witmer Stone of that institution who, with unbounded kindness, sent them to me for study in the present connection. They are the types of Professor Marsh´s Ur in a (finis, Uria anliqua, Puffin is conradi, Crus Itaydeni and Paleeotringa ret us. In the following pages all of these have received my most careful study and consideration, while figures of them are given on the Plates. In his letter transmitting the material, Professor Schuchert was good enough to say: "You are at liberty to rework this material and to photograph it as you think best." Later on, to still further place me in his debt, he sent me over one hundred more lots of fossil birds from the Peabody Museum to describe and figure, and which he suggested should appear in the same contribution - that is, in the present one, in which all this material is described.
