Bones of the Ichthyosaurus in the chalk of the Austrian Alps : 
These bones are found at Reifling^ on the road from that place 
to PalfaUj near the confluence of the Salza and Enns. The por- 
tions discovered included the bones of the head and cervical 
vertebrae. The teeth resemble those of the Ichthyosaurus pla- 
tyodon. Dr. linger, who records the fact in the Gazette de 
Vienne also states that saurian remains have been found in the 
secondary chalk of the mountains of Wildalp (Austria) . (Annales

Fossil species of the Rhinoceros. The skull of a species of 
Rhinoceros not existing at the present time has been found at 
Montpellier, in connection with a quartzose block, bm^ied in 
marine sand of the tertiary age. The species was one-horned. 
[Idem.) 
On Fossil Horns of the Stag in Lithuania. Fossil stag horns 
have frequently been met with in bogs and argillaceous de- 
posits, principally of two species — -Cervus primigenius and C. 
priscus, very different from the C. elaphus. M. Waga' has 
however discovered an entire new species in the bogs in the 
neighbourhood of Brzesc, Titewski, and Miecliaviec ; it is most 
nearly allied to the C. pricus, but differs from it in many parti- 
culars, and M. Busch, to whom the remains were forwarded, 
has given it the name of C. Bresciencis. (Neues Jahrbuch.J 
Fossil footsteps in the New Red Sandstone of the environs of 
Jena. M. Eeldman has communicated to Messrs. Koch and 
Schmid that he has discovered footsteps in relief in the new 
red sandstone on the road from Jena to Kunitz evidently of 
animals of the genus Cheirotherium : the following are particu- 
lars of them. 
1. Impressions (10 inches and 11 lines in length) of footsteps 
of the Cheirotherium of Hessburg. 
2. Eight or ten imprints of three individuals belonging to the 
Cheirotherium of Hessburg, and about 5 to 10 inches in length
