Register of Localities

The localities herein include all of those represented in the collection of the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution ( under the locality numbers of the United States National Museum). Inasmuch as some of the material was derived from other museums and the United States Geological Survey, locality numbers of these organizations are also added, but the specimens belong to the National Museum of Natural History.

R. E. KING LOCALITIES

Through the kindness of Dr. C. O. Dunbar, Yale University, the locality maps of R. E. King were lent for use in our studies. We have augmented this list of King’s localities with additional map measures, which will help the reader to locate many of his collecting spots. Also, the stratigraphic assignments are those of King, but we have expanded them by giving the modern formation names in brackets. Finally, we have given the equivalent United States National Museum (USNM) numbers in brackets where they coincide with King’s numbers. Special notes or comments, if needed, are in brackets at the end of the entry. This system of punctuation is used throughout all of the locality lists in this register.

Our USNM locality 72lu is approximately 0.6 mile east of hill 4910, and its fauna agrees with King's list. The map location is probably wrong; we could not find the fossils listed by King at his map point marked “120.”]
