Excerpt from Canadian Fossil Insects, Vol. 2: Myriapods and Arachnids
The first part of this, the second, volume of Contributions to Canadian Pal?ontology, consists of three illustrated papers by Dr. S. H. Scudder, of Cambridge, Mass., to whom the Survey is greatly indebted for his gratuitous labours in the interests of science.
Two of these papers are devoted to descriptions and illustrations of Tertiary and Post-Tertiary insects from British Columbia, and the third to descriptions, also illustrated, of Myriapods and Arachnids from the Carboniferous rocks of Nova Scotia.
Although begun under the title "Canadian Fossil Insects," it has been found convenient to include the third paper on Myriapods and Arachnids in this part of volume II. of the "Contributions."
The specimens upon which the descriptions are based are for the most part in the Museum of the Survey.
The drawings for the five plates which accompany this publication were made by Mrs. Katherine P.Ramsay and Mr. J. H. Blake, under Dr. Scudder's supervision.
A small separate edition of each of these papers has previously been supplied to the author and distributed by him.
