AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY PUBLICATIONS
The Bulletin of the AMNH, published continuously since 1881, consists of longer monographic volumes in the field of natural sciences relating to zoology, paleontology, and geology. Current numbers are published at irregular intervals. The Bulletin was originally a place to publish short papers, while longer works appeared in the Memoirs of the AMNH. However, in the 1920s, the Memoirs ceased and the Bulletin series began publishing longer papers. A new series, the AMNH Novitates published short papers describing new forms.
The AMNH Novitates (Latin for "new acquaintances"), published continuously and numbered consecutively since 1921, are short papers that contain descriptions of new forms and reports in zoology, paleontology, and geology. New numbers are published at irregular intervals.
Complete issues of all the AMNH publications are available by clicking here.
The following is a sample of articles relevant to Paraguayan zoology published in the Bulletin of the AMNH and AMNH Novitates.
