Notice of some Fossil Birds from the Cretaceous and Tertiary 

 Formations of the United States. Am. Journ. Sc. 1870, 

 pp. 205-217. 



The remains of five species of birds from the Cretaceous for- 

 mations of New Jersey are recognized and described. They 

 are named as follows : — Laornis edvardsianus, a new genus and 

 species allied to the LameUirostres and Longipeunes. A por- 

 tion of the shaft and distal end of the left tibia is described. 

 Two species of Grallse are distinguished under the new generic 

 name PaJceotringa as P. litioralis and P. vetus. Portions of the 

 left tibiae are described in each case. The lower half of a left 

 humerus furnishes a description of a new genus and species 

 called Telmatornis priscus. It is somewhat allied to the Rails. 

 Another species of the same genus is called T. affinis ; and a 

 portion of the right humerus is described. 



The remains from the Tertiary beds belong to four species; 

 all are ascribed to recent genera, the species being distinct.
