A compilation of previously unpublished classical works from the 1940s through the 1960s, and more recent works by distinguished geologists, brought together in honor of a curator of invertebrate paleontology at the Burke Museum and professor of geological sciences at the University of Washington. Part I, on paleontology and stratigraphy, presents papers on areas such as foraminifera of the Pierre shale from Fall River County, South Dakota, and Middle Eocene insects and plants of the Okanogan Highlands. Part II, on California foraminiferal biostratigraphy, offers papers by Mallory's students, on areas including the Eocene foraminiferal fauna from the Type Lucia shale, and distribution of foraminifera in the Eocene Nortonville Formation, California.
