Excerpt from Syllabus of Courses of Lectures and Instruction in General Geology: With References to Sources of Information In citing sources of information, the references are generally made first, to two standard text-books, Dana's Manual of Geology, and Leconte's Elements of Geology. Following these are frequent citations of other text-books and manuals, and some well-known pop ular works. Often the references extend to reports of original researches, especially those of American origin. It has been the aim, however, to quote few works not known to be generally accessible to the student. In a few cases, nevertheless, the references will be found sufficiently complete for advanced students. Thus, most of the impor tant original sources are cited under the subjects of Eozoen, Fossil vegetation of America, Extinct American Reptiles and Extinct Amer ican Mammals. Methods of minuter research are indicated in the Supplement, and here are references to more recondite sources of information.
