This is the first full treatment of the American Museum of Natural History's fossil-hunting expedition
to the Fayum of Egypt in 1907.
 
"[The Fayum Bulletin] is of historical interest by its very nature...[and] should appeal to a wide spectrum
of geologists, paleontologists, historians, and inquisitive members of the general public."
