Edward Hitchcock "Supplement to the Ichnology of New England," 1862 December 9
Description:
A paper by Edward Hitchcock read before the American Academy of Arts and Sciences intended as a supplement to his "Ichnology of New England." The paper discusses issues related to the identification of fossil footprints and refers to the species with identifications that may be unreliable and that are doubtful, as well as new species which Hitchcock believes should be added. Hitchcock also raises questions about insect tracks and addresses questions about the number of phalanges in the fossil footprints discussed and whether the animals that created the tracks were birds.
