13. Note on the parietal crest of Centrosaurus apertus and a 

 proposed new name for Stereocephahis tutus; by Lawrence M. 

 Lambe. The Ottawa Naturalist, vol. xxiv, pp. 149-151 with 

 plate III, Dec. 1910. — Centrosaurus is one of the Ceratopsia from 

 the Judith river (Belly river) formation of Alberta and was first 

 described by Lambe in 1902 as Monoclonius dawsoni and in 1904 

 made the type of a new genus and species. The remains con- 

 sisted of a parietal frill and a supposed nasal horn core, but now 

 the latter is discovered to be in reality a portion of the crest 

 itself, being a curious projecting process of the parietal bar which 

 forms the rear margin of the fontanelle on the right-hand side, 

 extending obliquely forward and slightly upward over the fon- 

 tanelle itself though not in contact with any of its forward border. 

 Lambe supposes the entire structure to have been covered with 

 a common integument. It seems from the drawing, however, to 

 be a process similar to the curious hook-like projections from the 

 rear of the frill and is probably an instance of the development 

 of spinescence accompanying racial old age. So far as one may 

 judge from such fragmentary remains, Centrosaurus does not seem 

 to the reviewer to be antecedent to either of the Laramie ceratop-, 

 sian genera, Triceratops or Torosaurus, but to represent the ter- 

 minal member of a side branch of the Monoclonius-Triceratops 

 phylum, occupying a place among the Ceratopsia similar to that 

 of Stegosaurus among the armored dinosaurs. 



The proposal of the new name Euoplocephalus to replace Stereo- 

 cephalus (preoccupied), which was also described by Lambe, is 

 but natural, although, in view of the necessary revision of all of 

 these genera in the Stegosam-ia monograph now under preparation 

 by the reviewer, it may perhaps only add to the burden of an 

 already great synonymy. r. s. l.

 ing. Fifth Annual Report of the President, H. S. Peitchett, 

 and of the Treasurer, R. A. Franks. Pp. vi, 113. New York 

 City, October, 1910. — The Carnegie Foundation completed its 

 fifth year on September 30th, 1910. At that time, the original 

 gift of $10,000,000 had been increased by something more than 

 $1,100,000, from the accumulated surplus. This increase obviously 

 adds much to the extent of the work which can be accomplished ; 

 the fact, however, that of the total income for the last year, 

 $543,880, all but $5,*700 was expended, seems to indicate that an 

 increase of capital from this source is hardly to be looked for in 

 the future. The list of accepted institutions is now seventy-one, 

 having been increased the past year by the addition of the Uni- 

 versity of California, Indiana University, Purdue University, and 

 Wesleyan University. Retiring allowances were given to sixty- 

 four teachers, forty-six of whom were in accepted institutions 

 and eighteen in institutions not on the accepted list. Twenty-
