A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Smithsonian Institution has I jeen the scientific exploration of regions imperfectly known, jjarticularly in Xorth A merica, although in recent years this work has extended to all parts of the world. These investigations have covered astronomy, anthropology, biology, geology, and in fact all branches of science. Besides extending our knowledge of nature and of man, there has been thus gathered and added to the National Museum collections an enormous mass of material of very great scientific interest and importance. During the year 1917, the war greatly restricted the operations in foreign lands and the field-work was therefore largely limited to the United States. The accounts recorded herein hax ebeen written chiefly by those who have carried on the work. Under the auspices of the Institution and in co-operation with the U. S. Geological Survey and other departments of the (G overnment, there was carried on a few years ago a most thorough biological and geological survey of the Panama Canal Zone. The results of that important work are now being published in quite voluminous form. A mong these publications now in press are Contributions to the geology and paleontology of the Canal Zone, Panama, and geologically related areas in Central America and the West Indies prepared under the direction of Thomas Wayland aughn, to ap)ear as a National Museum Bulletin ;also a comprehensive monograph on the Mammals of Panama by Edward A. Goldman. Numerous other works having to do with Smithsonian Explorations during recent years are enumerated in lists of publications issued I jy tlie Institution at regular intervals each vear.
