A Smithsonian government bulletin issued by the United States National Museum in Washington in 1877, a scientific series for natural history specialists and researchers. Its pictures are plates of microscopic structures in fossil and living specimens, drawn with fine hatching, labelled with letters and magnifications such as x25 and x100, and a designer might borrow their cellular repeat patterns, lattice textures and specimen-plate layout.
