Book Description

Excerpt from Bulletins of American Paleontology, Vol. 76: No. 306-308 The present work is based nearly entirely on published material, the sources of which are given under References Cited. Most of the holotypes as specified by the original authors are reproduced herein, as are those of species judged synonymous by later taxonomists. My own views concerning the validity of the synonyms are expressed in the body of the work. I wish to acknowledge with thanks the help given me by Henry R. Spivey of the Florida State University Department of Biological Science, for his garnering of important items of literature, and by Peter R. Hoover of the Paleontological Research Institution for his painstaking editorial supervision. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
