Excerpt from Figures and Descriptions of Canadian Organic Remains: Decade II, Graptolites of the Quebec Group The Graptolites of the Quebec group, which are the subject of the present Decade, were first discovered at Point Levis in 1854, and were then confided for investigation and description to Professor James Hall of Albany, the distinguished Palaeontologist of the Geological Survey of the State of New York. This was prior to the appointment of Mr. E. Billings as Palaeontologist to the Canadian Survey, in 1856. After a preliminary notice communicated by Professor Hall in 1855, extensive additions were made to the collection of Canadian Graptolites, which were placed in his hands; and in 1858 descriptions by him of nearly all the species here figured were published in the Report of Progress of the Geological Survey of Canada for 1857, but without illustrations. Figures of one of the species were however published in the Canadian Naturalist for June 1858; but various accidental difficulties having occurred in the preparation and engraving of the plates, the publication of the Decade has been delayed until the present time. It is to be remarked that although the name of Decade, under which Parts I, III, and IV were published, is still retained, this monograph is illustrated by not less than twenty-three plates. These are all from excellent drawings by Mr. R. P. Whitfield of Albany. Twenty-one of them were engraved on steel by Mr. James Duthie of New York, and the remaining two were lithographed by Mr. F. J. Swinton of Albany. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
