Book Description
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. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1870 edition. Excerpt: ...weighs 100 lbs. This impression was discovered by Dexter Marsh in the Liassic (?) Sandstone at Northampton, Mass., and belongs to the Boston Society of Natural History. Size, 20 by 15. CLASS III.--EEPTILES. The history of fossil Eeptiles exhibits a degradation in type. The genera first created were of the most highly organized types; while the lower forms do not appear until the Tertiary Period. Reptilian life culminated during the deposition of the Wealden. The first osseous remains are those of the Carboniferous Archegosaurus. All the species of that Period were Amphibian. If the Labyrinthodonts (as Owen thinks) are Saurians arrested in their development on the level of the Batrachians, we then have proof that representatives of a permanent larva condition existed among the loricated Eeptiles of the ancient world, in like manner as the Sirens among the recent Batrachians. ORDER 1--SAURIAKS. The Saurians are distinguished by an. elongate, rounded body, densely covered with scales or plates; a long, tapering, usually scaly tail; four limbs (occasionally rudimentary); distinct ribs and sternum; one occipital condyle; teeth in both jaws, and a mouth not dilatable. The Deinosaurians--the highest and most terrible of Eeptiles--are distinguished by four well-developed, unguiculate limbs, so articulated to the body as to allow the animal to walk upright on all fours. They first appeared in the upper member of the Lower Lias, and are now extinct. The Enaliosaurians were those marine, air-breathing, carnivorous Lizards that swarmed in such prodigious numbers during the Secondary epochs. In many respects they were intermediate between the Chelonia and Crocodilia; but the skin was probably naked. The Pterosaurians, or "Pterodactyles," are...

Book Description
Excerpt from Catalogue of the Academy Series of Casts of Fossils: From the Principal Museums of Europe Also Trilobites, and other Crustaceans, Insects, Ammonites and other Shells; Sea-Eggs, Star Fishes, Crinoids, Foramenifers and Sponges. Also, a few Fossil Plants suitable to be copied as Casts. This aeries is quite complete in its variety of forms, containing full material for illustration by the teacher of Geology in our Academies, Normal Schools and smaller Colleges. Its specimens vary in size from small shells to skulls and entire skeletons several feet in diameter. It wilt fill the shelves of a cabinet room twenty feet square. Each specimen is accompanied by a handsome printed label, and the display and graphic effect of the whole is very great. To still further augment this display, there have been added three huge specimens, which are intended to stand independently on pedestals in the middle of the room. One of these - the Glyptodon, or great Fossil Armadillo - is nine feet long and about four feet high. These three specimens form a Supplement which may be taken with the cabinet, or may be omitted, as the purchaser elects. The price of this entire Academy series, carefully boxed, and delivered at the Rochester freight office, is $500. The price without the supplement is $300. College Series. This series consists of three hundred and thirty specimens, chosen like the preceding series, among the most noteworthy forms in the whole range of Fossil Organisms. The natural classes and orders are all here represented by copies of the most celebrated Fossils - the originals of which form the scientific treasures of Royal Museums, and are single and unique. The series commences with some rare human remains - including the famous Fossil human skeleton from Guadaloupe - and continues through all the classes of the Vertebrates, and then through the four sub-kingdoms of the Invertebrates, introducing every form and name of which the student in the highest course of geological teaching is ever likely to hear. Besides the individual forms there are small suites of the Casts which illustrate particular families of Fossils, as among the Trilobites, Ammonites, Brachiopoda, Echinoidea, Crinoidea and Foramenifera. This series is so full and extensive that it may be arranged by itself in the Museum Hall, forming a complete Geological Cabinet, or it may be worked in in the classification with such actual Fossils as the College may possess. The series of itself will quite fill the shelves of a cabinet hall thirty by forty feet in size, some of the larger specimens - Glyptodon, Mastodon, Deinotherium and Diprotodon - standing on distinct pedestals in the central area. A Supplement is also added to this College Series, contuining four of the largest Fossils known to science, and the largest Casts which have ever been taken. These are the Megatherium; the Elephas Ganesa (Himmalaya Mammoth); the Colossochelys (colossal Himmalaya Tortoise), and the great Plesiosaurus Cramptoni, the latter twenty-two feet long! The price of this College Series (boxed, &c.), is $1,000. Its price, together with the supplement is $1,600. The two series above described have been chosen with much care and study that they shall meet the end for which they are intended, and be true compends of Geological science - complete illustrative cabinets. The writer has just completed Catalogues of each of the series. These catalogues give a short descriptive notice of each specimen, stating its relation to modern forms, the locality where it was found, the geological bed in which it lay, its size, and the Museum in which the original is now preserved. There are also introductory notices of the Orders and other higher divisions, numerous illustrations, and a copious glossary-index. The facts contained in these catalogues will be of much service to both teacher and student. The Academy Catalogue contains 8...
