Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Revision of the Entelodontidae
For the privilege of study and for aid otherwise given me, I am indebted to Dr. W. J. Holland, Director of the Carnegie Museum, at whose request the present work was undertaken. To Professors Osborn, Scott, Schnobert, and Lull I am indebted for free access to the splendid material of the American Museum of Natural History, the Princeton Museum, and the collection of the late Professor Marsh of Yale. To Dr. W. D. Matthew of the American Museum, Dr. Witmer Stone of the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, Mr. J. W. Gidley of the National Museum, Dr. M. S. Farr of Princeton University, Professor John C. Merriam, and Mr. E. L. Furlong of the California University, and Miss Lucy P. Bush recently of Yale Museum, I here wish to extend my thanks and appreciation for important letters and information. The excellent series of illustrations in the present paper are mainly due to the skilful work of Mr. Sydney Prentice. These illustrations explain many features which, without them, would be quite unintelligible. Most of the photographs except when otherwise stated, were made by Mr. Arthur S. Coggeshall.
