An “Instructive” Bibliography of the Foraminifera

Abstract

UNDER the title of “The (!) Bibliography of the Foraminifera,” a remarkable production was published by Mr. Anthony Woodward in the Fourteenth Annual Report of the Geographical and Natural History Survey of Minnesota (St. Paul, 1886), and the work has lately been followed by a supplement—one of a series—in the Journal of the New York Microscopical Society for January 1888.
