teeth differ from those of the known species in their subcircular 
instead of lenticular section. The middle teeth have fore and aft 
cutting edges, and are not faceted. The anterior teeth have no 
posterior cutting edge, and resemble in form those of latecarpus. 
The enamel in all is smooth. The coracoid has a deep fissure 
extending towards the foramen. The humerus is wider distally 
than it islong. There are eight cervical vertebrz preserved, in- 
cluding the atlas and axis. The articular faces of the centra of 
these are a little wider than deep, and subcordate in form. The 
articular surfaces of the dorsals are relatively a little deeper, but 
are distinctly depressed. A distal caudal is also wider than deep, 
and of subquadrate outline. The chevron bones are codssified. 
Probable length of dentary bone m, .620; depth of do, at fifth 
tooth from behind .077; diameters of crown of eighth tooth from 
behind, anteroposterior .o18, transverse .016; diameters of cup © 
a cervical vertebrez, vertical .056, transverse, .066; do. of a dorsal, 
vertical .058, transverse .066. Length of humerus .130; distal 
width .160. Width of coracoid .225. 
The species may be called Clidastes conodon.—E. D. Cope. 
THE INTERNATIONAL GEOLOGICAL ConGREss.—The International 
Geological Congress, which held its first session at Paris, in 1879, 
will meet again in Bologna, on the 26th September next under 
the presidency of M. Sella. Its success is assured by the gener 
ous liberality of the King of Italy, its protector. During the 
congress a geological exposition will be opened, for which Wy 
rtant material has been sent. Professor M. Capellini of the 
University of Bologna, president of the committee on orgamiza- 
tion, will distribute the programme for the coming session, com 
prising different excursions of much interest to Imola, Poretta, 
arrara, Pisa and Florence. The report of the international com- 
mission appointed in 1878 for the preparation of simplified ae 
logical nomenclature and conventional signs for the charts w! 
also be addressed to the subscribers. The last question is open for 
competition, for which the king has set aside prizes awarded ny 
jury. The memoirs for this competition must be in the hands © 
-Gaupry ON STEREORHACHIS.—Professor Gaudry exhibited to 
the French Academy of Sciences, May 16, a block of the ay
