Inc journal OF commerce has q
very interesting article on the Ichnolo-
gy Of Massachusetts, as illustrated by
the Geological Cabinet of Amherst
College, and the writings of Prof: Ed
ward Hitchcock, on the fossil footprints
found on the slabs of free stone which
he has there collected. The Journal
says: sf as o.
"The visitor finds slabs from three
inches to thirty feet in length, contain
ing often long rows Of the tracks made
by animals once alive. The large
slabs, the visitor finds, are generally
placed upon their edges, upon horizon
tai or inclined tables, showing tracks
on both sides; the others are seen to
be placed npon the walls, sustained by
strong wires, or disposed in vertical
cases. As whole they constitute the
only Cabinet in the world entirely de-
voted to 1chonlogy, 1.-THE science of
tracks,, and embraces some of the
finest slabs Of tracks ever exhumed f;
for this Cabinet is located in the vicin-
ity Of the track deposits, just as its
commanding position overlooks the
valley where the animals that made the
tracks roamed about, and is the work
of Prof, Hitchcock, who has been col.
Letting these specimens from time to
time, for more than twenty years, as
he has been gradually unfolding the
science Of technology.
In discussing the age of the forma.
ton in which these tracks arc found
the author finds an economical appli
cation. For he proves the rock to be
of the same geological age with the
coal rocks ofEastern Virginia. Hence
the discovery Of coal in workable quan
fifty in the Connecticut valley, would
not be an improbable event. This
however, does not place the formation
IN the true coal measures, hut in the
equivalent Of the Las of England.
The author next proceeds to state
the principles Of technology. He state.
what characters Of the feet of animal.
may be regarded as peculiar to Their
respective groups. For example, HI
states that birds generally have Ger
tain number of joints or phalangs npor
each of their three principal toes
three upon the inner, four upon tn,
middle, and five upon the outer toe
Hence it is affirmed that all tracks hav
ing these characters are ornithic.-
Again, a kangaroo.like animal ha
large hind feet, small front feet, and
large tail. All of these would at time
make an impression; so that wher'
we find these characters We may pre-
sumo the former presence ola MARSH

toned thirty -one such characters, an,
has applied them to the fossil foo,

A Delightful Blunder-How Little Pic

thought Of it.

During Piccolomini's late sojourn at
the Spencer House, in this city the
following incident occurred through
a mistake, as natural as it must have
been agreeable:
