Having in my last given you briri sketch of the
proceedings OF the Association OF GeoIog-ts and Ma
turSs during the inst three days OF their session,
now proceed to fulfil my promise OF some account Of
THEN subsequent loiurs.
The iist paper before the Association on Thursday
morning was on the Musodon, BY Or. j. {. Warren
Of Boston. IL gaye sUccnct history OF the differ
cut skeletons OF that animal which had hitherto been
found, pointed out the rscmbluucos and differences
between the Mus,odon and Elephant and illustrated
his remarks by reference To the huge Uranium, Jaws
and other portions OF skeleton OF the Ma~lolon,
which he exhibited before the Association The skc.-
cton belonging to DR.. W. was found at Ncwburgh, y.
y, in 1919 DR. " supposcs the Muslodon To have
been extinct as living species AT least one thousand
years.
The next paper was on the Laws Of Cohesive At
traction, by Prot Dana, Of New Haven, Conn. lie
regarded qualification and equalization as identical
and also tie laws Of sollcaton and the laws OF co.
hc~yr attraction and each species of mu'terh lac sup
posed to have is characteristic equalization. From
these principles he drdured great number OF niclcH
ccs--too many to be- inserted here. Following tlli
paper was Letter from Mr. Bond, superintendent O
the Cambridge Observatory, stating that the great ne
bsIa OF Orion, which had hitherto dciicd tine powers
the best telescopes in the world was resolved 10y tlr

points, or stars The reading OF the Interesting leuc
of Mr. Bond was followed by paper ON the Ncbua
