该公报自1881年以来连续出版，包括较长的有关动物学、古生物学和地质学的自然科学专著。目前的数字不定期公布。《公报》最初是发表短篇论文的地方，而较长的作品则出现在回忆录中。然而，在20世纪20年代，《回忆录》停刊，《简报》系列开始发表篇幅较长的文章。一个新的系列，小说，发表了描述新形式的短篇论文。
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.
