From the Introduction: "Since 1950, more than 6000 slides of fossil foraminifers have accumulated in connection with biostratigraphic studies I have conducted. These efforts have been largely in support of approximately 80 geologic mapping and stratigraphic projects conducted in western Washington and Oregon, although a few from California and Alaska are included as well. Most of the slides are contained in two collections, involving either U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) or Washington Division of Geology and Earth Resources (DGER) projects. ...
