EurroRiAL. 7 



is now engaged near Canon City, Colorado, in re-opening the famous 

 quarry on the property of Mr. M. P. Felch, which yielded to Pro- 

 fessor Marsh in former years most of the skulls of dinosaurs which he 

 obtained. At the time when Professor Marsh abandoned this quarry, 

 because the work of stripping had become heavy, and his funds avail- 

 able for this use had run low, the stratum in which the bones occurred 

 appeared to be as rich in fossils as when first opened. It is believed 

 that by uncovering this vein of ossiferous rock, the Carnegie Museum 

 will be able for a com])aratively small sum to get a considerable 

 amount of important material, which is needed for the reconstruction 

 of the skeletons of these extinct monsters of the past. Mr. Utterback 

 has been at work for about two months, and reports that he is making 

 rapid progress. In a short time the fossil-bearing vein will be uncov- 

 ered again.
