Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mammals of Colorado: An Account of the Several Species Found Within the Boundaries of the State, Together With a Record of Their Habits and of Their Distribution N apology seems hardly necessary for the issue of this book, for any one who takes any interest in Nature feels the need of a book treating of the local Species of animals or plants, and such a book is entirely wanting for Colorado mammals. Whatever information we have concerning these is scattered through many and various publications, mostly issued by the Government, and which are Often out of print or inaccessible to the average student. A few words of acknowledgment and explanation with regard to the work on this book will not be amiss. Some three years ago, Mr. William Lutley Sclater, then Director of the Museum Of Colorado College, began a book on the mammals of Colorado, but dropped it to take up other work. A little later he turned his manuscript over to me with the urgent solicitation that I take it up and complete it. Between the time when Mr. Sclater began and I took hold, a number of species had been added to the Colorado fauna, and as more specimens were available from which to draw up the descrip tions, it was necessary to rewrite most of the portion which was at that time prepared, aswell as to compose the remainder. But during all the time I was at work on this I had the willing and unfailing advice of Mr. Sclater, and he was also good enough to write the diagnoses of the orders, families, and many of the genera, and also drew up the keys of the families and genera, and he likewise read over and revised the whole manuscript. I cannot express how much I owe to him, but I would hardly have ventured upon the work without his assistance and co-operation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Small Mammals of Colorado This bulletin on the small mammals of Colorado omits all mention of the tree squirrels, ground squirrels, chipmunks, and gophers, which were excellently treated by Mr. Robert Rockwell in his bulletin on those animals. The present paper aims to give some mention of our smaller mammals, though it has been a little difficult at times to tell where to draw the line, and what to include and what to omit. Many of these animals are but little known to the casual observer, largely because of the nocturnal habits of the majority of the species, and the retiring habits of others. When one becomes acquainted with them and their ways he finds them very interesting, and their life histories well worth studying. In fact there is still much to be learned about many of them. Since the writers "The Mammals of Colorado" was published, some ten years ago, a number of the genera of North American mammals have been studied by specialists, with the result that some species and subspecies have been added to and others dropped from our local list, and some of the scientific names have been changed. While not making the latter especially prominent in the text, they have invariably been given, for they are a more positive identification of the species than any English or vernacular names. No detailed descriptions of any of the species are included, only a general idea of the color and size is given. The total length is from the end of the nose to the end of the tail, measured in a straight line when the animal is stretched out, and the tail is measured from the root to the tip. I have omitted all mention of the bats, although a considerable number of species is found in the State. These belong to so many different genera that a general description of the animals would be very unsatisfactory, and a detailed account is somewhat beyond the scope of this paper. For interesting and authoritative accounts of the habits of many of our small mammals I would refer my readers to "The Wild Animals of North America," by E. W. Nelson, Chief of the U. S. Biological Survey, published by the National Geographic Society. Mr. Nelson's opportunities of observing the habits of many of our species have been remarkable, and he has made much use of the work of other naturalists. In giving scientific names, when the name of a genus is repeated it is not given in full but abbreviated to the initial letter; likewise in the case of repetition of specific names. Unless otherwise mentioned, the illustrations are from my own photographs. Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18 and 20 were originally published in the "Mammals of Colorado" and are printed from the cuts used in that book. For several of the illustrations which have not hitherto been published, I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to Mr. Charles Mace, Mr. Clark Blickensderfer, Mr. Albert Haanstad, and the Colorado Agricultural College through Mr. W. L. Burnett. The pictures will doubtless be of as much use as the text in showing what the animals are like.

Download or read book Jurassic West Second Edition written by John Foster and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The famous bone beds of the Morrison Formation, formed one hundred and fifty million years ago and running from Wyoming down through the red rock region of the American Southwest, have yielded one of the most complete pictures of any ancient vertebrate ecosystem in the world. Jurassic West, Second Edition tells the story of the life of this ancient world as scientists have so far been able to reconstruct it. Aimed at the general reader, Jurassic West, Second Edition recounts the discovery of many important Late Jurassic dinosaurs such as Apatosaurus, Allosaurus, and Stegosaurus. But dinosaurs compose barely a third of the more than 90 types of vertebrates known from the formation, which include crocodiles and turtles, frogs and salamanders, dinosaurs and mammals, clams and snails, and ginkgoes, ferns, and conifers. Featuring nearly all new illustrations, the second edition of this classic work includes new taxa named since 2007, updates to the naming and classifications of some old taxa, and expanded sections on numerous aspects of Morrison Formation paleontology and geology.
