In the Department of Geology and Geography, The University of Nebraska, there have been over 10,000 registrants between the years 1891 and 1926. So many inquiries have been received concerning alumni and their addresses that it seems advisable to publish this directory. The list is necessarily incomplete since many of the alumni have not informed the Department respecting their addresses and change of positions. Out of the total number of those who have pursued professional vocations the following have kept in close touch with the Department.

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
Archidiskodon maibeni was first described in Bulletin 10 of the Nebraska State Museum under the title" Skeletal Parts of the Columbian Mammoth, Elephas Maibeni." * Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborn finds it expedient to found a new genus, Archidiskodon, to include the earlier and more primitive mammoths. Hence the change in the generic name. t'Mammoths and modern elephants have long been grouped together under 'the genus Elephas. Subdividing the genus does not necessarily do away with this convenient and rather familiar old arrangement.
