PREFACE

I wish to call the attention of the reader of mystory “The Life of a Fossil Hunter” to the factthat I am under obligations especially to Prof.Henry Fairfield Osborn, President and Curator ofPaleontology of the American Museum of NaturalHistory in New York. He has supplied me withmany of the most beautiful of the illustrations thatillumine these pages and has assisted the work inmany ways.

I would also express my gratitude to Miss MargaretWagenalls of New York, who edited themanuscript; to Prof. Dunlap of the Kansas StateUniversity, for his kindly criticisms; and to Dr. W.K. Gregory, Lecturer on Zoology at Columbia University,whose untiring efforts have brought thebook to its present form.

I hope it may awaken a wide interest in thestudy of ancient life, and I thank my friends everywherewho are contributing to that end.
