IV. — Professor Carl Vogt on the Archjeopteryx. 

 By Prof. H. G. Seeley, F.R.S., etc. 



IN the Revue Scientijique for the 13th of September, 1879, Professor 

 Carl Vogt published a remarkable article on the Archceopteryx. 

 This Memoir being in a periodical that would not come under the 

 notice of all readers in this countxy, an excellent translation of the 

 paper was published in the Ibis. It is difficult, if not indeed some- 

 what unhandsome, to criticize Carl Vogt's contribution ; seeing that 

 it makes known the famous second skeleton oi Archceopteryx, which 

 had long evaded all efforts to learn its characters. The present 

 writer followed it from Solenhofen, in its migrations over Germany, 

 only to find it guarded like a sacred mystery in the house of Otto 

 Volger, in Frankfort. But while very difficult, from not having seen 

 the specimen, for me to speak with any confidence on points of the 

 anatomy of Archceopteryx in which Carl Vogt's conclusions may be 

 open to discussion, it is much easier, and, indeed, almost a pleasant
