The
Bulletin, 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. However, in the 1920s, the Memoirs ceased and the
Bulletin series began publishing longer papers. A new series, the
Novitates, published short papers describing new forms.
