of living things to ag environment; on the rise and progress of 
modern views as the antiquity and origin of man, and on the 
distribution of wrod as indicating geographical changes. These

and presented in the attractive style characteristic of the author's 
other popular works and essays. 
BIBLIOGRAPHY OF NORTH AMERICAN INVERTEBRATE PALAON- 
TOLOGY.!:— Works such as these, though laborious and requiring 
much time in their bic 2 are naturally useful in proportion 
as they are full and accurate. The present work is pro bably as 
complete as others of ya sort, the names of the compilers giving 
assurance that it is. In its scope the bibliography is confined to 
those works which treat, either wholly or in’ part, of invertebrate 
fossils found within the limits of North America, including the 
West Indies and Greenland, and, for convenience, the compara- 
tively few contributions of American authors to the paleontology 
of other countries, and published in their own, have been included 
in Part I. mong the omissions that occur to us are papers and 
notes by Verrill and Scudder, Wood, and Packard on the Quar- 
ternary fossils of New England and Labrador, contributed to the 
Memoirs and Proceedings of the Boston Society of Natural His- 
tory, and the Portland Society of Natural History, also Ordway’s 
rticle on Paradoxides in the Proceedings of the Boston Society 
of Natural History.

quietly working for three years past, have done Apna © no

tributes a report of a survey of earthworks on Haddix hill, Ohio, 
near Osborn, i be and an account of a sculptured rock from 
ev.
