Extract

Graphic methods for the comparative study of numerous observations and facts have long been in use in the exact sciences. They have also been used to some extent in those branches of the descriptive sciences which deal more particularly with the problems of heredity and variation. The purpose of the present paper is to sketch in outline a way in which they may be used in the morphological and systematic study of fossils.
