Extract

Rousseau H. Flower described and figured about 400 new fossil taxa. In addition, he probably described and figured an equal number of other fossils during his long career (Wolberg, 1988). Appropriate disposition of the specimens held within our collections is of major concern to the NMBM&MR. We are most concerned for the long-term care of the fossils and their availability to interested persons. The importance of this material can be seen from the very large number of holotypes included in this second notice of transfer. This note continues the transfer to the Smithsonian Institution of fossil specimens described and/or figured by Rousseau Flower (1964) and housed at the NMBM&MR. This series begins at number 47, and continues the listing from Wolberg (1990). It is obvious that the sheer volume of figured material at the NMBM&MR will require additional notices.
