Of birds there are fragments of two species, one a turkey, with the 
spur preserved, probably the MW. altus, Marsh; (M. superbus,+ Cope. Trans. 
A. Phil. Soc., 1870, pp. 289, ii), the other a snipe. The reptiles include 
one or two species of tortoises, and three or four serpents. There are a few 
bones apparently of Batrachians. The whole number of species of Ver- 
tebrata is about forty, represented by perhaps ninety individuals. 
Dr. Geo. H. Horn, to whom Mr. Wheatley submitted the insects, re- 
ports, at an early stage of the investigation, thirteen species of Coloptera 
and two or three of other orders, including Orthoptera. We await with 
much interest the further results of this research, as the determination 
of Postpliocene Coleoptera has not been practicable heretofore. The 
names already published by Dr. Horn,* are, Carabidex— Cychrus wheatleyt 
Oychrus minor, Cymindis aurora, Chlaentus punctatissimus, Pterostichus 
lacvigatus, Pt. longipennis, Dicaelus alutaceus ; Scarabacide, Aphodius 
scutellaris, Apho. micans, Phanaeus antiquus ; Copris punctulatus ; His- 
terides ; Saprinus? ebeninus. 
} As it is now fifteen months since Prof, Marsh announced his species, and no description has 
yet appeared, it appears to me that M, superbus, the only name accompanying a description, will 
have to be adopted, if the two are really the same.
