is a small Parasuchian Crocodile, allied to Stagonolepis, and is named 
Herpetosuchus grantii; the other reptile Prof. Newton considers interme- 
‘diate between the Dinosaurians and Crocodilians, and refers it provi- 
sionally to the Theropodous Dinosauria under the name Ornithosuchus 
woodwardii. (Proceeds. Roy. Soc., Vol. 54, 1893.) 
Crnozorc.—The reports upon evidence as to glacial action in Aus- 
tralia are as follows: In Queensland and New South Wales, while 
there is both stratigraphieal and biological evidence of a Pluvial epoch, 
it cannot yet be demonstated whether this epoch belongs to Plistocene 
or Pliocene time. For Victoria the evidence is equally unsatisfactory. 
In Tasmania and South Australia glacial action is demonstrated be- 
yond a doubt by the researches of Mr. Johnson, Mr. Montgomery and 
Prof. Tate. In New Zealand, according to Captain Hutton, the evi- 
denee is confined to moraines, surface-till and * roches moutonnées." 
These indicate that during the ice-age there was an extension of the 
valley glaciers of the South Island, but there is no proof that they 
reached the sea. (Proc. Austral. Assoc. Adv. Sci, Adelaide 
Meeting.) 
Mr. E. H. Williams' investigations of the extramorainie drift be- 
tween the Schuylkill and the Delaware, result in the conclusion that 
the great moraine was formed immediately after the withdrawal of the 
ice from the Lehigh, and that it and the extramorainic deposits of the 
region were part of the same ice invasion, which was of recent age and 
Short duration. (Bull. Geol. Soc. Am., Vol. 5, 1894.) 
A tabulated list of the species of Coleoptera prepared by Dr. Scud- 
der shows the effect of the Glacial Period on the present fauna of N. 
America. The list comprises the species east of the Rocky Mountains, 
with the exception of the “barren ground” of the high north, the 
immediate vicinity of the Rocky Mountains and the extreme south 
of Florida and Texas. West of the Sierra Nevadas the region is 
limited on the south by Los Angeles, and on the north includes Van- 
couver Island. In both of these areas, one of which may be termed 
the glaciated, the other the driftless,a comparison is instituted between 
the northern and southern regions of each to discover how many gen- 
era and species are common to both, and how many peculiar to each. 
In the eastern area the terminal moraine is the dividing line; in the 
western, the northern part of California. Finally, the results of these 
comparisons are balanced with each other. This, according to the
