. Bulletins of American paleontology. . LIST OF PALMER CUBAN FOSSIL LOCALITIES By Robert H. Palmer INTRODUCTION The Palmer Collection of Cuban fossils was made during tlie 1/ years between 1929 and 1946. There are 3217 localities num- bered consecutivel}' from i to 3217. They range in age from upper Jurassic to upper Tertiary. Great care has been taken to secure accuracy. At the time of collection, each localit)' was given a number and the place and date recorded. The list is largely of selected fossil locali- ties as data, except for lithologic purposes, were seldom taken where no fossils were found. The present list is a copy of these records. The collection consists of several thousand specimens. For the most part they are deposited with the U. S. Nat. Museum, a few are in the Yale collection and the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, some are in the Commission Geo- logico in Plabana, Cuba, and much material is at the Paleonto- logical Research Institution, and many specimens have been sent to individuals. A large part of the corals were sent to the British Museum of Natural History. The echinoids have been largely taken from the general collection and are the subject of special monographs by me. The localities are scattered over the six provinces of Cuba: Pinar del Rio, Habana, Matanzas, Santa Clara (Las Villas, the old name, but now made official), Camagiiey, and Oriente. There has been but little collecting in the eastern portion of Oriente. All collections were made and the localities were described by me personally except a very few that bear a I'C number (Palmer Collection). These specimens were given by third parties. The age determinations where given were made by my wife, the late Dorothy K. Palmer, on the basis of Foraminifera or by myself working with associations of fossils where a few were.
