ANIMAL TRACKS OF THE CoNNEC-I
TICUr VALLEY. Among the most deep
ly interesting papers read before the
Scientific Convention at Baltimore, was
one by professor Edward Hitchcock, up
on the tracks of animals found in the
Connecticut Valley. He described the
valley as classic ground for these sand
stone tracks, ten times more of them
having been found there than elsewhere
the globe over. As to the age of the
rocks thus marked, he had recently con-
cIuded that a portion Of them, at least,
were as modern as the Las formation
The cabinet of Amherst College contains
5000 individual impressions of these
/ tracks. Professor Hitchcock said that
most Of his time for two years past had
been given to grouping the individuals.
He had made 119 species and 60 genera
of them. He made 81 bipeds, 50 quad
rupeds-18 having more than four feet,
and three Of uncertain footing. Upon
this he dwelt the more, because in the
AnnuaI Of Scientific Discovery he had
been incorrectly reported as giving up
his theory that they were bird tracks,
Among the quadrupeds he had concluded
but without evidence that entirely salts.
fed him, that FIVE were marsupials-the
s youngest of the mammalials. OF the
bipeds, IA were of the thick-toed birds
like the ostrich, and of the narrow toeC
tribe. These statements of the most ac
