FOSSIL FOOTPRINTS.
Vrd Track. Of the TriassIc Age Discovered
in New England.


The publication Of "a resume OF DR..
+. ii. Barbour's treatise on the first
discovery in America Of the bird-like
footprints in stone at South Had
ley, Mass. has created renewed in
tercst at Yale College in this interest
ing study. The collection Of fossil
footprints at Yale is said to be the
finest in the world. IL is for the bird
tracks that the Portland, Conn, brown
stone quarrics are so widely known.
Those quarries have been OF the great
est assistance TO geologists in estab-
fishing much that is already known of
the ancient reptiles inhabiting the
Connecticut River Valley.
A delegation Of Yale students is to
visit the quarries. Prof Rice, of Mid
dlcton, Conn, who agrees with the
eminent geologist, Prof j. ID. Dana,
that the tracks are those of reptiles
and amphiba, says that the Connecti-
cut River sand stone was deposited in
n long, narrow estuary extending from
New Haven nearly To the northern
boundary of Massachusetts. Its geo.
logical age is triassc. The sand
stone lies in horizontal strata, and
every few feet there is well defined
horizontal crack. On lifting IA fiat
section Of the stone the tracks are
found on the surface Of the stone be-
meath, with corresponding projections
Of the upper stone fitting into them.
All writer's agree that the amphi-
bians were Of large size. Some walked
as bipcds on feet that made tracks 10
and 20 inches long and almost as
broad, with IA stride Of feet, indicat-
ing height ~ II feet. Tracks OF
much smaller fore feet are sometimes
found A handsome trail of twenty
two consecutive tracks OF one OF these
bipcd amphibians was laid open at
Portland i'm 1874. 1t was that of the
Dinosaur or terrible lizard. Il true rep
tile. which had its hind feet three
toed like birds. For many years they
were regarded solely as bird tracks.
The late Edward Hitchcock, father
of State Gcologist Hitchcock, of New
Hampshire. and n famous writer on
geological topics, was the first to as
sign To these fossil tracks their true
significance. His views were received
with incredulity only q few years ago.
Tho Portland quarrymen find tho
tracks frequently and keep the best.
One of them said yesterday: I'VE can
furnish bird tracks for all the scientists
In Christcndom. The supply under
ground is incxhaustible, but it takes
time TO uncover it"-N. Y. Times.
