with the moss-likec rystallizatio seen Il
the moss agate. But the most re
markable monster of the past who's,
existence has been disclosed by tn,
present survey are series Of horned
species related to the rhinoceros, but
possessing some features in which, &C
cording to Prof. Cope, they resemble
the elephant. They stood high on the
legs and had short feet, but possessed
osseous horns in pairs in different parts
of the head. One of the largest specie;
had huge horn over each eye, while
another had one on each side of the
nose and more than foot in length, re.
sembling, on the back part of the head
the OK, etc. A third one, of larger size
than the last, had rudimental horns on
the nose. Still another was. about as
large as the elephant. Its cheek bones
We're enormously expanded and its
horns were fiat.
A fifth species had triangular horns
turned outward. Carnivorous species
were not rare IN this ancient world, and
served then as now to check the too
rapid increase. OF the fourteen species
of carnivores known. there were tiger
cats and dogs as large as the black
bear, but probably much more carni-
vorus IN tier propensities, while some
of the cats had remarkable canine or
eye teeth. In a new species, the size
of the panther, these teeth greatly
resemble those of a shark. There were
also many reptiles, such as turtles,
lizards, snakes, etc.
PLANTS.
The fossil plants which have been
collected by the Survey and are now in
process Of elaboration by Prof. Lesque-
reux and DR.. Newberry, viii teach an
equally instructive lesson in regard to
the ancient history OF our Great West.
We now know that those broad, tree
less plains were once covered with dense
forests, resembling in their luxuriance
those of the central or southern por-
lions of our continent at the present
time. Groves of palms waved broad
leaves over the ground, some of which
had spread Of twelve feet. At the
present time the true fan palms are
found only within the tropics. Many
of our native ornamental trees and
shrubs are the hneal descendantsof the
tertiary species, and so nearly resemble
the ancient forms that it is difficult to
distinguish them.
Prof. Lesquereux says that among
the genera found to be indigenous to
our continent are the Virginia creeper
(Aalpelopis) and the mulberry (MOrlis).
Both the fossile species are in intimate
affinity with the living ones. "They
are seen everywhere, and known and
liked by everybody. The one is the
friend of the farmer by its shade, of
his children, delighted by the pleasant
ness Gifts fruits; the other adOrns our
dwellings, when allowed to grow In our
gardens. And when left to its own
work it covers with green foliage the
dead trees and the barren rocks, temp
ering desolation and iruin by hiding
them under elegant fringes and gar
lands painted of the richest colors. 1t
is worth something to know that the
origin of the Virginia creeper and of
the red mulberry is traceable to the tor
tiary formations of North America"

The corn crops Of the great producing
States for the years given, are rs follows

The corn crop in the Southern States was,
in 1859, pa OOO,OO0 bushels; in 1866, 49,
100000; and in 1867, 2J0,OOJOO0 bushels.
There is an estimated deficiency Of the crop
OF 1873, in the commercial States, rs com
pared with the crcp Of 1872, Of 1Sj,OOO,OOO
bushels, and further estimated deficiency
in the quality Of the crop equal to one
sixth of il, equal to about 9O,0O0,OOO bush
els, or, quantity and quality, an aggregate
deficiency Of 20, 100000 bushels, making
the crop Of 1873 only equal to 446,OOO,OOO
bushels, against 72l 100000 bushels in 1872.
1t will, however, be borne in mind that
there is still a goodly portion of the crop Of
1872 in the hands Of the growers.

STRANGE FOSSILS.

Many forms of the insectivorous an
imals related to the mole, and of very
small size, have been procured. The
delicacy and minuteness of these fos
sis are surprising. Gnawing AMI
mails, or rodents, left numerous re-
mains Of eighteen species, some not
larger than the domestic mouse. Some
were the predecessors of the rabbits,
other Of squirrels and Others of mice.
OF cloven footed quadrupeds a great
many species have been found. Some
were nearly intermediate between the
deer and the hog in structure. Like the
latter, they had no horns. They were
about as large as sheep. Others were
about the size of gray squirrels, being
the smallest Of this class of animals
ever discovered. Several species of
horses were living during the same pc
Rod; their bones and teeth are found
in abundance. The rhinocerosa abound
ed IN Colorado in former days, no less
than seven species having been procur-
cd by Prof, Cope.
