In the last two weeks of May a party from the Museum, consisting of head curator Cooper, associate curator Boardman and others, studied and collected the thick sequence of Middle Devonian in central and eastern New York. The object of the expedition was twofold; to collect fossils for the exhibition at some type localities for poorly known species, and to study the facies development of this classical region. Drs. Cooper and Boardman were accompanied by Drs. J. T. Dutro and W. A. Oliver of the U. S. Geological Survey, and Drs. Gertrude Biernat of Warsaw, Poland, Michael House of Durham, England, and Paul Sartenaer of Belgium. This international group had a very profitable time in the hills of New York. Specimens were collected for the exhibition and biological collections.
