sand}' limestone, on the ridges crossed, belong to this age. The fol- 

 lowing list of fossils, which I collected, indicates the presence of rocks 

 lower than the Ripley Group, as well as of that age; but under the 

 circumstances, it being probable that this is the first published list 

 trom these localities, I prefer not to attempt to separate them:

Archaeological researches in the Madisonville Pre-historic Cemetery 

 are still being prosecuted by this Society, in connection with the 

 Peabody Museum of American Archaeology and Ethnology T . 



Professor Maxime Kovalevsky, of the University of "Moscow, was in 

 the city for a few da} 7 s in the latter part of June. The professor is 

 investigating the subject of American Ethnolog} T , and devoted con- 

 siderable time to the Anthropological Department of the Society's 

 Museum, manifesting especial interest in the large series of objects 

 from the Madisonville Ancient Cemetery. 



The Societ} T has recently added to its attractions, b} T purchase, a 

 microscope, of first-class working model, and a cabinet in which is 

 arranged a beautiful series of coral sections, representing this vicinit}* ; 

 fossil diatoms from every known localit}', and a good series of histo- 

 logical slides. 



Attention is called to the fact that the instrument is intended for 

 the use of members of the Societ}\
