Excerpt from Catalogue of Casts of Fossils: From the Principal Museums of Europe and America, With Short Descriptions and Illustrations

These casts are now - for the first time - offered to the Educational and Scientific Institutions of our Country, with the hope that their advantages in the illustration of the Science of Geology will be appreciated and be real.

Those who examine the Catalogue here given, or glance at the Summary at its close, will see that the Zoological Series is very complete through nearly all its Classes and Orders, while the great Periods of Geological time are each well represented.

Especial attention is, however, called to a few of the more prom incut and interesting objects.
