Mr.. CoYDoY's LEcTURE.-Mr. Condor de-
serves the praise of being the first who has
devoted much time and attention to the col
lectisn of the fossils of the Columbia Basin.
About four years ago gentleman was en-
gagged by the Smithsonian Institute to give
this interior cursory examination, with g
view to more exact geological survey.
The agent employed lacked both the indus
try aud the conscientious regard for duty,
necessary to render his mission in anywise
successful. Mr.. Condon's Investigations are
necessarily limited, and are mostly confined
10 the collection of remains which have writ
ten the history of the past on the rocks in
characters which are not open to coutradic-
tion. Geology may properly be called the
record of Natures works, written by herself.
The lecture was illustrated by the already
very extensive collection of Mr.. Condor,
which includes many fragmcntary specimens
Of now extinct animals-from the mighty
mammoth to the smaller quadrupeds. These
indicate with absolute certainty the natural
history Of this country, during that period
just following the time when I" the earth
was without form and void, and dark
ness was on the face of the deep."-
There were rhinoceroses, in those days
whose bones lie buried along the beaches Of
lakes which ran dry ages ago the mastodor
fed upon the trees which grew during hi
period, and the fossils tell us that in the ter
tiary period they did not essentially diffel
from the trees Of the present day. As th
mammoth lived later than that time we con
clude that his diet was of alder, birch, cot
tonwood and willow. In the line of strait
fcation, in one case, is specimen Of fruit
not unlike plum, but with rougher RIM
than modern plums. But there are none O
these now. There were cherry-trees in thos
days, and that reasonably indicates that ther
were birds to eat cherries; hence the big quad
rupeds in all probability heard the songs Q
the very warblers which we hear in thes
later times. Mr.. Condor exhibited speci
mems of rocks with shells Of various kind
imprinted in them, and geodes, where tn
waters had been ages in first liquefying an
then crysta,izing ordinary quartz, until
was almost as brilliant as diamond. Their
were bones miuerslized and petri6ed, and th
cavities which once held their marrows file
with lchalcedony. As we expect to publis
at considerable length these lessons of th
rocks, we forbear further mention of th
subject matter of the discourse, with the az
dition that it was well attended by an INTEL
gent and appreciative audience. q
