EXTINCT MONSTERS OF ALBERTA 



THE director of the Geological Survey 

 reports that great success attended the 

 expedition sent out last Summer to secure 

 skeletons of the great extinct monsters that 

 once inhabited the Canadian Northwest and 

 whose remains are now found in vast quan- 

 tities in bone beds of the Red Deer River, 

 Alberta. 



This well-equipped expedition has re- 

 turned with tons of fossil remains, princi- 

 pally those of dinosaurs, huge reptiles that 

 flourished four or five million years ago to- 

 ward the close of what the geologists call 

 the Cretaceous Period. Included in the col- 

 lections are: two skeletons of the large 

 plant-eating Trachodon or Duck-billed 

 dinosaur, one thirty-two feet long, and 

 the other forty feet long; remains of 

 the ponderous plant-eating horned dino- 

 saurs ; and of the flesh-eating dinosaur, 

 now being called Albertosaurus. Credit 

 for this fine collection belongs to Mr. 

 Charles Sternberg, who was in charge 

 of the season's operations. Mr. Stern- 

 berg was collector for the late Prof. 

 Cope and has the reputation of being, per- 

 haps, the best and most successful fossil- 

 hunter. Disengaging the bones from the 

 rock, preparing and mounting them is a 

 delicate operation requiring great skill and 

 patience. The big dinosaurs are now being 

 prepared for exhibition, in the palseonto- 

 logical workshop at the museum. The 

 thirty-two-foot reptile is being made into a 

 panel mount which will show the position 

 in which the creature was buried. The big 

 forty-foot specimen will be erected as an 

 open mount, which will display to advan- 

 tage his huge dimensions and give a clear 

 idea of his imposing presence when he was 

 a reigning monarch of the wilderness. The 

 material collected last Summer, together 

 with many specimens collected in earlier ex- 

 oeditions will pass through the hands of the 

 skilled preparators, to increase the size and 

 attractiveness of the palaeontological collec- 

 tion recently opened to the public in the 

 Victoria Memorial Museum. 



It may be noted that this now famous 

 fossil locality of Alberta was discovered by 

 the Canadian Geological Survey in 1884, 

 when J. B. Tyrrell, exploring on the plains, 

 uncovered the head of the Albertosaurus, 

 which has been on exhibition in the Survey 

 for the past quarter of a century. In 1889, 

 T. Weston, a former collector of the 

 Survey, was sent out to secure more

 In 1897, 1898 and 

 Vertebrate Palaeon- 

 tologist of the Survey, was at work in this 

 field bringing to light many new forms of 

 the oast life of our western country. 



The expedition of the oast season, how- 

 ever, was stronger and better equipped than 

 any heretofore sent out bv the Survev and 

 the gratifying success which it has achieved 

 will, it is hoped, be followed up bv further 

 vigorous collecting during the coming Sum-

RARE COINS FOUND 



WHILE digging up his garden in Mar- 

 mery, France, a wine grower dug up 

 a eranite vase with one hundred and twenty 

 coins, eighteen gold coins, eighty silver 

 coins, and twentv-two copper coins. Some 

 of these have the date of Charles VIII, 

 some Louis XII, 1484, 1500, some Francis 

 I. 1515, and some from the time of Henry 

 VIII and Edward VI of England. The 

 coins are all rare and are considered very 

 valuable.
