This monumental work, which is now

umeS of approximately 1900 pages in
the total, with 1,100 Illustrations, is
being published at the Government
Printing Office and will deal with pre-
historic animals in the Western region.
Many pictures of the restoration of
ancient monsters that prowled through
Wyoming, Dakota and Nebraska in the
early ages will be shown, with very mi
mute descriptions of fossil boneS-the
species of those found being fitted to-
gether to form conception of the

Government is paying for the printing
and the Geological Survey has paid
portion of the preparation of the
manuscript and the American Museum
Is likewise contributing.
The $4,000 as the publishing cost
represents but small part of the cost
of investigation, which has been met
largely from sources outside the Geo.
logical Survey. The monograph is the
more elaborate form of publication,
