Excerpt from Preliminary Report Upon Invertebrate Fossils: Collected by the Expeditions of 1871, 1872, and 1873, With Descriptions of New Species
Sir: I have the honor to inclose herewith a preliminary report upon a part of the collection of invertebrate fossils made by the expedition under your command; and, in view of the fact that nearly all the species therein noted are new, I would respectfully suggest that it be published at as early a date as possible, in order that the expedition may receive due credit for priority of discovery in this most interesting branch of paleontology.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant, O. A. White. Lieut. George M. Wheeler, Corps of Engineers.
