SwepisHh Popurans. — The Podurida, or “spring-tails” of Sweden, 
have been monographed in an elaborate way by T. Tullberg. The mem- 
oir is accompanied by twelve plates, and enters quite fully into the 
anatomy of these little creatures of so much interest to microscopists. 
The work appears in the Transactions of the Royal Swedish Academy 
for 1871, and has just reached this country.

tree during the tornado of Tuesday night, February 1st, and a consequent 
landslide on the south bank of Crosswick’s Creek, near Yardville, Mer-

were brought to light, consisting of corn-mills, pestles, axes, hammers, 
spears, and arrow-points, associated with innumerable fragments of 
bones, mussel-shells, and charcoal. No fragments of the bones were suf- 
ficiently large to determine the animals to which they belonged, beyond 
the fact that while some undoubtedly were fragments of mammal bones, 
the vast majority were those of birds and large fishes. The main feature 
of interest connected with the stone implements is the uniform character 
of the workmanship displayed in their manufacture. There was not
