Book Description
Excerpt from Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, Vol. 5 It will be seen that each separate work or paper on the Recent Conchology of North America is taken up, its title and date given, its author's name, and a list of species therein 'described or in any important manner referred to, together with their synonymy, locality, and the volume, page, plate and figure relating to them. For their value as contributions to our knowledge of geographical distribution I have also quoted all the local lists of species, with out descriptions. General works ou Natural History and school books containing notices of conchology are sometimes referred to. They are too numerous and of too little importance to the scien tihe student to make it an object to include them all. I have not included the Bryozoa. As it was necessary to draw the line between those to be omitted or quoted among the genera of doubtful position, I have decided to give only those included in the Genera of Recent Mollusca, by II.

Book Description
Excerpt from Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, Vol. 65 Now in most large genera we find among the component species one which in its characters Occupies the mean between the extremes shown by the other forms, and which typically covers the entire economic, physical, and geographical range of the genus, unless the species on the borders of the generic range are isolated by barriers. Obviously this is the species best adapted to the conditions Of the present day and, if conditions Should remain indefinitely as_ they are now, such a species would gradually succeed, by the mere force of numbers and greater procreative power, which have already enabled it to overrun all the other forms, 1n exterminating all of the other species of the genus which it was able to reach. As families and orders are constructively the same as genera, we typically find in them a highly dominant genus, subfamily, or family, which stands in the same relation to them that the dominant species does to the genus. And among the higher groups the same thing is repeated; thus, for example, we find among the mammals the rodents, among the birds the finches, among the fishes the perches, among the flies the muscoid types, etc., each group including species almost all of which are of small average Size, yet never excessively small, representing the dominant types which, appear to be on the road to Supplanting all the other types through a development from their immediate stock of virile competing forms, and which, were conditions to remain in definitely as they are at the present epoch, would eventually come to form the entire world fauna.

Excerpt from Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, Vol. 117 That Barber was able to recognize his species in dried specimens, when he had not seen the ashing conduct, was demonstrated to me when I submitted to him a series of five vials containing specimens collected around Wilmington, Del., each vial representing a different ash for four of the vials he told me correctly the type of ash after a few minutes examination with a lens; the fifth contained specimens having a ash with which he was not familiar, and which were probably abnormals.

Book Description
Excerpt from Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, Vol. 49 The present series, entitled "Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections," is intended to embrace all the publications issued directly by the Smithsonian Institution in octavo form: those in quarto constituting the "Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge." The quarto series includes memoirs, embracing the records of extended original investigations and researches, resulting in what are believed to be new truths, and constituting positive additions to the sum of human knowledge. The octavo series is designed to contain reports on the present state of our knowledge of particular branches of science; instructions for collecting and digesting facts and materials for research; lists and synopses of species of the organic and inorganic world; reports of explorations; aids to bibliographical investigations, etc., generally prepared at the express request of the Institution, and at its expense. In the Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge, as well as in the present series, each article is separately paged. The actual date of its publication is that given on its special title-page, and not that of the volume in which it is placed. In many cases works have been published and largely distributed, years before their combination into volumes.
