48 pairs of lower jaws, and numerous articulated limb and foot bones, 

 all in an excellent state of preservation and representing all stages of

 in large blocks and the removal of these to the camp on top of the hill, 

 a quarter of a mile distant, in order to pack them for shipment, pre- 

 sented one of the difficulties of the task. The blocks varied in weight

from 200 to 400 pounds, and to transport them suspended from the

At the request of the State Historical Society of Idaho, arrange-

 six weeks at our camp collecting material for the society. He obtained 

 a small but representative collection which it is their intention to ex- 

 hibit in the State Capitol at Boise.
