	The Geological Revolution in American Time
		Hitchcock is a representative figure of the time in that his first writings, published before Lyell's Principles, unequivocally draw connections between catastrophist theory and such Biblical events as the great flood, but after 1830 this catastrophism was gradually mitigated by an increasing acceptance of uniformitarianism and a celebration of intelligent design in nature.
		That Hitchcock was a well-respected intellectual figure is attested to not only by his college presidency but also by the fact that his works received favorable attention in the North American Review and that he also provided articles for that august journal.
		Professor Hitchcock has been too long and favorably known to scientific men, both of the new world and of the old, to make it necessary for us to say, with what ample qualifications he undertakes the task before him.

		Edward Hitchcock was professor of geology at Amherst College in Massachusetts when a colleague wrote him about a stone slab he had found that contained large footprints.
		Hitchcock was immediately intrigued, and within a year, in 1836, he published his first paper about the stone footprints of the Connecticut Valley.
		Hitchcock, however, never entertained this idea, for good reason: the prints were made by large bipeds, and at the time, dinosaurs were thought to be quadrupedal.

	HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES
		The accompanying figure of Otozoum moodi from the original 1802 locality represents a problematic trackmaker assigned by Hitchcock to the Amphibia and by subsequent workers to the Prosauropoda and the Pseudosuchia.
		Although Hitchcock is famous for assigning many to Omithichnites, or stony-bird tracks, he and his contemporaries also recognized the affinities of many other trackmakers, as in Sauroidichnites (see quotation above).

	James Deane in Edward Hitchcock (1858)
		I suspect that the research into James Deane readily uncovered the discussion of him by Edward Hitchcock in "The Sandstone of the Connecticut Valley" (Boston: 1858), but I mention it anyway.
		After 3 fleeting mentions of Deane in the body of the text, Hitchcock concludes his work with a 9 page (191-199) refutation of claims that Deane's scientific study of Ct. Valley tracks had preceded Hitchcock's.
		The one exception is the entry preceded by asterisks (*) which is an article by Hitchcock** which seems to mark the first public volley between the two men -- presumably in 1844 or 45.

	EDWARD HITCHCOCK, ICHNOLOGICAL NOMENCLATURE AND FOOTPRINT-MAKER IDENTIFICATION IN MID-NINETEENTH CENTURY NORTH AMERICA
		In 1836, Edward Hitchcock named several footprint morphologies from the Early Jurassic of Connecticut and Massachusetts, classifying these prints in 7 species within the ichnogenus Ornithichnites, and suggested they had been made by large extinct birds.
		Additional renaming was undertaken in 1848, 1858 and 1865; the result is a morass of objective and subjective synonyms, further confused by a change in cataloging system and the lack of catalog numbers prior to 1848.
		As early as 1843 Hitchcock had suggested there might be an as-yet-unknown group of saurians with feet similar to those of birds.
