Two measured sections of the upper Rabbitkettle Formation in the western District of Mackenzie are separated by a thrust fault. These sections provide a record of silicified tribobite faunas across the Cambrian-Ordovician boundary in open marine carbonate rocks along the deeper portion of the shelf - a North American palaeogeographic setting not previously extensively sampled for macrofossils.

Conodonts have been recovered from two sections through the Cambrian-Ordovician boundary beds of the upper Rabbitkettle Formation, near the headwaters of the Broken Skull River, western Mackenzie Mountains. This report contributes towards a biofacies evaluation of Cambrian-Ordovician boundary bed conodonts and illustrates the probable limitations on a highly resolved conodont-based correlation of this interval between strongly constrasting lithofacies.

Phylogenetic analysis and morphometrics have been developed by biologists into rigorous analytic tools for testing hypotheses about the relationships between groups of species. This book applies these tools to paleontological data. The fossil record is our one true chronicle of the history of life, preserving a set of macroevolutionary patterns; thus various hypotheses about evolutionary processes can be tested in the fossil record using phylogentic analysis and morphometrics. The first book of its type, Fossils, Phylogeny, and Form will be useful in evolutionary biology, paleontology, systematics, evolutionary development, theoretical biology, biogeography, and zoology. It will also provide a practical, researcher-friendly gateway into computer-based phylogenetics and morphometrics.

j***VERKAUFSKATEGORIE*** 0 e Palaeontologia Cathayana, a book series published in English, offers researchers outside of the People's Republic of China access to Chinese original literature on palaeontology and stratigraphy. The Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Academia Sinica, non-periodically publishes papers on all aspects of palaeontology, stratigraphy and palaeobiogeography. These papers, including review articles, short papers on the description or discussion of important fauna and flora, are originals of great value with fine illustrations. Moreover, this series also provides timely reports on recent research not only of the Institute but from varied projects within the People's Republic of China.
