description

http://schema.org/description

  • "The progress of geological discoveries, and the nature and extent of the geological formations, in the remote country from which the collections were obtained, are described. The marine series are of Cretaceous age, after which the later Lignite formations of brackish- and fresh-water origin are considered. The more modern Tertiary beds, mainly of fresh-water origin are also noted."
  • "The author noted that the illustrations and drawings accompanying the work, done in chromo-lithography, approximated the appearance of the research subjects sufficiently well to enable a student to recognize other specimens if examined. A set of 48 plates illustrate the subject matter."
  • "The Rodentia constitute by far the largest order of mammals, and one of the most important from an economic as well as scientific standpoint. Thought the species are mostly small and apparently insignificant, their relations with man are of much moment. Some of them, like the Beaver, the Muskrat, and others furnish important articles of commerce; while a large majority of species directly affect the agricultural interests of the nation. It is not easy, therefore, to give undue prominence to a group of mammals, accurate and full information respecting which is essential to the intelligent direction of measures to stay their ravages."
  • "In the present work, the technical history of all the species known to inhabit North America is presented in full, together with their geographical distribution and, in some cases, their habits."
  • "Rhizopods are a group of single-celled organisms traditionally classified as protozoans. Fresh-Water Rhizopods of North America represents one of the first investigations of free-living, non-parasitic freshwater microorganism investigated. Leidy called Rhizopods Leidy the simplest of all animals in the introduction of his material, as well as advocating the microscopy as a research tool."
  • "This report consists of a series of monographs of the several North American families of Rodentia based primarily upon the collections furnished by the Survey."
  • "This work provides descriptions of the fossil invertebrate species, primarily from mollusks, discovered during the Geological Survey of the Territories of the Upper Missouri."
