tion to the Red Deer River was in 1901. Again he drove north from Medicine Hat, but this time he explored the badlands downstream from Berry Creek, as far as Deadlodge Canyon. He remained in the field from early July until well into September, and his collection of this year was the best so far made from the Cretaceous of Western Canada. Lambe's studies culminated in his monograph, On Vertebrata of the Mid-Cretaceous of the North West Territory (Osborn and Lambe, 1902). Professor Osborn wrote the introduction, and clearly pointed out that this "Belly River" fauna was distinctly older than that of the "Laramie" or Lance, the best known Cretaceous vertebrate fauna up to that time. Lambe's descriptions were meticulous, and many of his illustrations exquisite. His work marks a very important advance in the study of vertebrate palaeonto- logy. Unfortunately, due to the nature of his collection, some of his genera and species were established on inadequate material, and these have plagued succeeding workers in their efforts to identify the better preserved specimens collected later. Lawrence Lambe's camp on Red Deer River, 1901. G.S.C., No. 31832-B44.
