Excerpt from Memoirs of the Carnegie Museum, Vol. 10

It is a matter for congratulation that we have been able to bring these papers through the press with reasonable promptness.

A number of other important papers, which relate to the great. Paleontological and zoological collections in the Carnegie Museum are in hand or under way, and we anticipate with pleasure their appearance, as they contain important contri butions to our knowledge. Progress in science is gradually made. In spite of the somewhat. Slow nature of the process, we flatter ourselves that. What has been accomplished by the Carnegie Museum, since the publication of its scientific papers was initiated more than twenty years ago, has abundantly justified this phase of our activities. It is interesting to one, who is familiar with the scientific literature of the present. Time, to see how constantly reference is being made in text - books, as well as in scientific journals, to the papers which have from time to time been published by this Museum. In fact few students of paleontology and zoology write today without making reference to the results of the researches, which we have been permitted to carry on.
