Abstract
THIS is the first fasciculus of a series intended to illustrate the palaeontology of Switzerland: The work is intended chiefly as a means of making known by descriptions and drawings a number of interesting fossils from the animal and vegetable kingdom, in part at least new to science. Most of these have been derived from the Swiss Alps, and are now preserved in the Bern Museum of Natural History. It is also intended to serve as the organ for shorter palasontological communications from the whole extent of Swiss territory, the several authors being answerable for their own views. The first part contains a short paper, just completed, “On the Red Limestone of Wimmis and its Fauna;” the next will contain plates and descriptions of various remarkable fossils from the Swiss Alps. Three, or at most four such parts will form a volume, when a title-page and index will be issued.
