PEESENTATION OF THE EDWARD WOOD COLLECTION TO THE 

 YORK MUSEUM. 



Stk, — The well-known collection of fossils formed by the late Mr. 

 E. Wood, of liichmond, Yorkshire, has been purchased by Mr. Wm. 

 Reed, F.G.S., of York, and by him presented to the Museum of the 

 Yorkshire Philosophical Society, York. 



The collection consists of about 10,000 specimens, and is specially 

 rich in fossils from the Carboniferous rocks. W. Keeping. 



The Museum, York, Jan. 17th, 1881. 



Mr. Eeed had previously presented his own magnificent collection 

 of fossils to the Yorkshire Philosophical Society. 



A Fossil Ehinocekos in the Flesh.— The body of a large 

 Rhinoceros was recently discovered in the Werohojanksi district, 

 Siberia. It was found on the bank of a small tributary to the 

 Jana (Lena?) river, and was laid bare by the action of the water. 

 It was remarkably well preserved, the skin being unbroken and 

 covered with long hair. Unfortunately only the skull of this rare 

 fossil has reached St. Petersburg, and a foot is said to be at Irkutsk, 

 while the remainder was allowed to be washed away by the river 

 soon after it had been discovered. The investigation of the skull 

 shows that this Rhinoceros (H. Merckii) is a connecting form 

 between the species now existing and the so-called Rhinoceros ticho- 

 rJiinus, remains of which are not imfrequently found in the Brick-earth 

 of the Yalley of the Thames at Ilford, and in Prussia. 



The Readers of this Magazine will be glad to learn that Mr. A. R. 



Wallace, the celebrated explorer, naturalist, and author, is to receive a pension of 

 £200 a year from the Government, in recognition of his eminence in zoological science, 

 in promoting which he has done so much good service.
