The GeoIooists' Clock.

The fossil shells of the early inver-
tebrates are always Of great impor-
lance to biologists, for they indicate
the period in which the rock beds that
contain them were formed-in other
words, the age Of the rock. Every
fossilliferous rock bed contains char
acteristic forms, or groups of forms,
that determine the period in which it
was mud or sand. The economic i'm
portance of geology has been repeated
ly shown. In the earlier exploitation
Of anthracite coal, thousands Of dol
lars were wasted searching for coal
beds in New York until the geologist
Of the state showed that the beds in
that state could not contain coal,
since the fossils showed that they be-
longed to the Devonian age, whereas
the Pennsylvania anthracite coal
beds r Of the Carbonlferous age, a
much later period. That discovery
stopped the useless expenditure. The
study Of the animal and plant remains
that are embedded in the rocks has
thus become an important part of &c.
ology, and although the specialists en-
gagged in the study are few, their work
is of the highest Importance.
