tologists throws side-lights on the personnel of the profession and especially 
interesting is his characterization of Cope with whom he was associated 
for years. 
A few errors of a minor character which subtract little from the general 
readability of the book should be mentioned. Mr. Sternberg’s first expe- 
dition to the Kansas chalk was in 1875, not in 1876. The restoration of 
Triceratops, opposite p. 270, is obsolete, as is that of Elasmosaurus, opposite 
p. 123, and they should not have been used. Lysorophus, mentioned on 
p. 258, as a lizard and a connecting link between amphibians and reptiles, 
has lately been shown by Professor Williston to be a Urodele and a much 
more highly specialized form. The author’s zeal has sometimes led him 
into the mistake of unduly magnifying the importance of museums con- 
taining his own collections to the derogation of certain others, as for instance 
the statement on p. rr2, accredited to Professor Osborn, that the Munich 
Museum contains the finest collection existing of specimens from the 
Kansas chalk, whereas as a matter of fact the collections from this horizon 
in the museums of Yale University and the University of Kansas far 
exceed in importance those of any other.

32nd Annual Report of the Department of Geology and Natural 
Resources of Indiana. By W.S. BLATCHLEY, State Geologist. 
1158 pp., 79 pls., maps. Indianapolis, 1908. 
The various reports of the soil survey are given in the first part of the 
work. The early report of Hopkins and Siebenthal on the Indiana Odlitic 
limestone is revised to keep pace with the growing industry which in 1907 
amounted to three and one-half millions. The production of petroleum has 
declined, due to the migration of operators to other states. The report of
