We do not consider ourselves competent to review the geolo- 

 gical part of this work, and it is out of our province to do so ; 

 we therefore leave this duty to others who are better qualified. 



A somewhat hasty examination of the palgeontological portion 

 of the report enables us to allude to it only on terms of un- 

 qualified praise. Whatever Mr. Meek undertakes in this line is 

 sure to be done carefully and accurately. 



Most of the descriptions of new species have been published 

 within the past few years in the Philadelphia and Chicago 

 Academies' Proceedings. The illustrations from drawings by Mr. 

 Meek are numerous and generally excellently engraved on 

 steel. The volume is in every respect a credit to its authors, 

 engravers, printers, and to the enlightened public sentiment 

 which has prompted its preparation and publication at the ex- 

 pense of the State.
