presents a fac-simile both for size and form of the portion of the lower 

 jaw of the Iguanodon, which is the principal subject of the memoir.

8. A Memoir on the Dinornis, Part III, containing a description of 

 the skull and beak of that genus, and of the same characteristic parts 

 of the Palapteryx, and of two other genera of birds, Notornis and 

 Nestor ; forming part of an extensive series of Ornithic remains, dis- 

 covered by Mr. Walter Man tell, at Waingongoro, North Island of New 

 Zealand ; by Professor Owen, F.R.S., F.Z.S., &c. &c, pages 33, with 

 five quarto iithographic plates. — We have barely room at this time, to 

 announce the appearance of this memoir. The great interest of the 

 New Zealand fossils renders these among the most important of the val- 

 uable labors of Professor Owen. 



9. Collections of the Georgia Historical Society, Vol. HI, Part I 

 A spirit of enquiry has been growing more and more active for some 

 time, regarding the history of the different States of the American 

 Union, and we have perused with satisfaction the previous volumes 

 published by the Georgia Historical Society, which have thrown great 

 light upon the history of that state. 



The present publication consists chiefly of the papers of the late Col. 

 Hawkins, long known as a successful agent among the Indians of the 

 southern part of the continent, with whom he had great influence. 



We are much impressed by the picture which these documents pre- 

 sent, of numerous Indian settlements existing at the close of the last 

 and the beginning of the present century, in many places in the higher 

 regions of Georgia ; settlements marked by considerable advances in 

 civilization, and°in the means and habits of regular and comfortable 

 living, with dawning institutions for civil government and instruction. 



How great the change in fifty years! A stern policy has removed 

 the remnants of these tribes beyond the Mississippi. It is still to be 

 hoped that they may he redeemed from the habits of savage life and 

 elevated to the standard of civilized and Christian nations. 



10. Memoirs read before the American Association for the Promo- 

 Hon of Science. — The following memoirs by Mr. James Hall, were 

 not included in the list given on page 393, of last volume. 



I. On the tracks or trails in sandstone of the Clinton Group, of New 

 York, indicating the existence of beaches and the frequent alternation 

 of beds thus marked, proving the occurrence of tides. [?]

 Group. These shells are interesting, from being closely allied to De-

shells.
