Page 34 - The animals, which are not seasonal and which compose an important part of the whole mass of the community owing to number or weight, will presumably be best suited for characterizing the community and must also be considered as giving a good idea of the outer conditions on which the community is dependent.
Page 19 - If an author designates a certain species as genotype, it is to be assumed that his determination of the species is correct ; if a case presents itself in which it appears that an author has based his genus upon certain definite specimens, rather than upon a species, it would be well to submit the case, with full details, to the Commission.
Page 32 - ... on the submarine slopes of the continents and the neighbouring islands and the deep oceans are barriers which they cannot cross. Cases of discontinuous distribution of the shallower-water forms have therefore a profound significance, and permit conclusions as to former land connections to be drawn. Before these conclusions can be regarded as definitely established, however, more must be learnt of the structure of the larvae and of the duration of the free-swimming stage in a larger and more varied...

Page 50 - York the fauna is much smaller, the species that continue into the overlying formations are only six in number, and the proportion of species derived from the underlying formations is greater in comparison to the total number of species in the fauna. Furthermore, the change in the fauna eliminates the members of the genera upon whose presence is here based the assignment of the Keyser to the Devonian. In the New Jersey and south-eastern New York area the pronounced faunal change occurs at the base...
