Mr. F. W. Putnam referred to the discovery of the mastodon skull at Shrews- 

 bury a year ago, and described the continuation of the exploration of the 

 peat deposit this autumn by the Worcester Society of Natural History, 

 when a human skull was found. As stated to him by Dr. Raymeuton, who 

 took out the human skull, both skulls lay on the blue clay bottom of au 

 ancient pond and were covered with from G to8 feet of peat formation.

 The author concludes that Hindia fibrosa is no doubtful form, not belonging at 

 all to the sponges, as Professor Steinmaun thought he was obliged to as- 

 sume, but a well-characterized, true tetracladine siliceous spouge.
