This book is a modern review of the major collection of Cambrian trilbites
from the North China Platform. This collection, houssd in the U.S.National
Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, was acquired through
the Camegie Institution Expedition of 1903-4 and ruiji Endo during his
working at the northeastern China. Two major monographs, by C. D.Walcott
in 1913 and by Ruifi Endo an dC. E. Resser in 1937. provided the initial
descriptions, and the present book seeks to improve th eillustration as
a hasis for fitting the taxa involved into ht emodern taxonomy. The 1100
illustrated typespecimens bolonging to 300 species of 107 genera, 30 families
represent more than half of the known Cambrian trilobtte fauna of th eregion
and inciude a high proportion of genotypes, critical to such studies throughout
the world.
