188 STANTON—MOLLUSCAN FAUNULE. [April 3, 
Tyilbuingunyinbaiap, we three beat. It will be apparent that the 
words Jatap. or kullik are merely superadded to the suffix of the 
plural. 
In the Motu, one of the languages of New Guinea, Rev. W. G- 
Lawes reports that the dual and trial of pronouns are formed by 
additions to the plural.’ 
If a line be assumed to be drawn on the map of Victoria from 
Melbourne to Echuca, then the whole of that portion of Victoria 
situated on the eastern side of that line has no trial number in its 
speech, but in all the languages to the west of that line the trial 
number obtains. 
ADVERBS AND PREPOSITIONS. 
In principle these resemble the same parts of speech in the 
Murawarri and Gundungurra,, and some of them take similar 
inflexion for number and person. 
Interjections and exclamations are not numerous and have been 
omitted. 
NUMERALS. 
One, yuwaia. Two, bulle. Several, girtawal. 
A NEW FRESH-WATER MOLLUSCAN FAUNULE FROM 
THE CRETACEOUS OF MONTANA. 
(Plate IV) 
BY TIMOTHY W. STANTON. 
(Read April 3, 1903.) 
An interesting collection of fresh-water invertebrate fossils, col- 
lected in Montana by a recent expedition from the Geological 
Department of Princeton University, has been placed in my hands 
for study through the courtesy of Prof. W. B. Scott and Dr. A. E. 
Ortmann. Although the collection contains only half a dozen 
species, it is of more than usual interest on account of the excellent 
preservation of the fossils and the fact that they probably come 
from either a new horizon for fresh-water mollusks, or at least a new
