cxx Trans. Acad. Sci. of St. Louis. 



Enclosed were a number of letters written by Dr. Engel- 

 mann from 1864 to 1884. The same were accepted by the 

 Academy and its thanks expressed therefor. 



Dr. H. M. Whelpley presented a stone slab from Lyons, 

 Colorado, covered with Dendrites. The thanks of the Acad- 

 emy were extended to the donor. 



Dr. H. M. Whelpley also exhibited some interesting speci- 

 mens of heretofore undescribed forms of Indian flint spades. 

 Some of them were finely polished and showed remarkably 

 denticulated and grooved edges, the origin of which is unex- 

 plainable, as they can hardly have been formed accidently but 

 appear rather to have been the result of some particular use, 

 unknown to us. 



Mr. Julius Hurter exhibited photographs of some caves in 

 Sullivan County, Mo., recently visited by him. In one of 

 them he collected twenty-three blind salamanders, about four 

 inches long, which occur only in the caves of that section of 

 the country. He also showed large centipedes and tarantulas 

 found near the cave. 



Mr. Frank Schwarz showed a very young ground hog alive. 



Dr. Chas. D. Stevens presented a photograph of a Colo- 

 rado Mountain Sheep. 



Dr. Wm. Trelease exhibited specimens of the green-spored 

 Lepiota {Lepiota Morqani) from the foot of Rascon 

 Mountain, between San Luis Potosi and Tampico, Mexico, 

 which he had received from Dr. Francis Eschangier of the 

 former city. Attention was called to the fact that this rec- 

 ord considerably enlarges the known range of this poisonous 

 species of fungi, which, however, has already been reported 

 from various localities between the District of Columbia, 

 Michigan, Nebraska, Kansas, Eastern Texas, and Georgia, 

 the probability being that it will be found through the moist 

 belt, passing down the coast from Galveston to Tampico or 



further.
