This Boese said was very evident from his criticisms of this work by Stanton. It seems to me that in the end the work will prove to be more correct than now seems probable. The American workers [illegible] pay too little attention to European faunas and as Doctors Boese and Burchhardt are trained European men they see the Mexican fauna [sic] too much through German glasses.
