On the surface of slabs both of the

well defined indications of tubular
holes in them, in which the worms
resided. Man did not then live TO

In the new red sandstone, in the
Connecticut valley, along consider
able tract of country, there have
been laid bare in quarries, footprints
of many species of birds, apparently
belonging to the order Grallae, or
| Waders This is an important dis
coyery, as it gives evidence for the
first time, of the existence of birds
at that early period of the earth $
history. The footprints follow in
regular succession, as if the animals
had been walking or running, as the
case might be.
The African ostrich, which weighs
over one hundred pounds, and is
nine feet high, has n foot of about
ten inches, and a leg four or five
feet long. According TO our ideas,
1t rs the most s'apenduous of exist
ing birds. But the largest Of the
footprints in the Connecticut sand
stone measures over fifteen inches
in length, exclusive of large claws
measuring over two inches. with
steps from four To six feet apart.
We can draw our own conclusions
from comparison of these facts,
regarding the comparative size of
these creatures parative Anat
