Horse ; various types of primitive Pigs, Camels, and Cattle ; 
the early forms of Elephants as Moeritherium and Palaeo- 
mastodon (casts) ; teeth and casts of jaws of the Mammoth 
and Mastodon ; and the ancestral Toothed Whales, Prozeug-

Birds. 
Three fine replicas of Archaeopteryx, from the Berlin 
and London Museums, are shown here. The originals are 
from the Upper Jurassic lithographic stone of Bavaria. This 
ancient bird shows connecting links with certain reptiles 
like Compsognathus. Their bones were not pneumatic 
(cellular) as in modern birds, the vertebrae were flattened 
or concave and the tail was lizard-like, whilst the margins of 
both jaws carried a row of socketed teeth. 
In a small case, near by, is a perfect specimen of the egg 
of the great extinct Ostrich, Struthiolithos, which lived 
in late Pleistocene times in Russia, India, and Northern China. 
It was found in red loess associated with chipped tools of 
ancient man of the Azilian period, dating back about 25,000 
years. 
Reptiles. 
Mosasaurus is represented by a vertebral bone. Various 
types of Crocodiles are illustrated by Goniopholis, Atopo- 
saurus, Steneosaurus, and Thoracosaurus. 
The Deinosaurian remains comprise gigantic footprints 
and a cast of the foot of Iguanodon. 
The flying Dragons (Pterosauria) are illustrated by a 
restoration (drawing) of Pteranodon, which probably 
measured 29 feet from tip to tip of the wings. Some of these 
flying reptiles were as small as a sparrow, as Pterodactylus 
meyeri, of which casts of this and other related fossil remains 
are shown. 
Examples of the curious primitive reptiles, the Theromorphs 
(“ beast-forms ”) exhibit strong laniary and crushing teeth. 
Amphibia. 
These are represented by a cast of Andrias scheuchzeri 
(referred to by the old geologists as “ homo diluvii testiis ”, 
' Man the witness of the Flood), which sensational discovery
