Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bulletin of the United States National Museum, Vol. 54 This work (Bulletin No. 54) is one of a series of papers intended to illustrate the collections belonging to or placed under the charge of the Smithsonian Institution and deposited in the United States National Museum. The publications of the National Museum consist of two series - the Bulletin and the Proceedings. The Bulletin, publication of which was commenced in 1875, is a series of elaborate papers issued separately and based for the most part upon collections in the National Museum. They are monographic in scope and are devoted principally to the discussion of large zoological groups, bibliographies of eminent naturalists, reports of expeditions, etc. The bulletins, issued only as volumes with one exception, are of octavo size, although a quarto form, known as the Special Bulletin, has been adopted in a few instances in which a larger page was deemed indispensable. The Proceedings (octavo), the first volume of which was issued in 1878, are intended primarily as a medium of publication for newly acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology, descriptions of new forms of animals and plants, discussions of nomenclature, etc. A volume of about 1,000 pages is issued annually for distribution to libraries, while a limited edition of each paper in the volume is printed and distributed in pamphlet form in advance. In addition, there are printed each year in the second volume of the Smithsonian Report (known as the Report of the U. S. National Museum), papers, chiefly of an ethnological character, describing collections in the National Museum. Papers intended for publication by the National Museum are usually referred to an advisory committee, composed as follows: Frederick W. True (chairman), William H. Holmes, George P. Merrill, James E. Benedict, Otis T. Mason, Leonhard Stejneger, Lester F. Ward, and Marcus Benjamin (editor). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
