http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/82126390

This volume contains original pencil illustrations for Volume V of the Natural History of New York: Paleontology, written by James Hall and published in 1874.

In the back of the volume are several loose papers dated 1904-1905 relating to the loan of specimens by the New York State Musuem to staff members for study.
