Dana, Prof. J. D. On Dr. Koch's Evidence with regard to the Con- 

 temporaneity of Man and the Mastodon in Missouri. Amer. 

 Joum. ser. 3, vol. ix. pp. 335-346. Eeprinted in Pop. Sci. Eev. 

 vol. xiv. pp. 278-290 (with additional note at p. 290). 

 Examines the statements made by Dr. Koch in pamphlets dated 

 1841, 1843, 1845, and 1853. Shows that they are open to doubt, 

 that the author criticised was deficient in the requisite geological and 

 zoological knowledge. Concludes that although the contemporaneity 

 of man and mastodon is clearly proved, in America the point is doubtful. 

 Even if Dr. Koch's facts be correct (and it is probable that they are 

 not), the inference as to contemporaneity drawn from them may be 

 wrong. G. A. L.
