ANCIENT SWAMP ANIMALS
OF NEW MEXICO

Fossil turtles, some of them not
less than three million and others
sever million years old, have recent
ly been found in San Juan county,
northern New Mexico. Remains of
extinct turtles are rather common,
but most of them consist of many
small peices, badly crushed and flat
tened or otherwise damaged. The re-
markable feature of many of those
lately discovered in New Mexico is
that the bony boX-like shell is al
most as perfect as when it was oc-
cupied by the body of the living an
imal during the Tertiary and Gre
taceous periods. No less than so spe-
cimens were perfect enough to be
identified and described by special
lists of the United States Geological
Survey, Department of the Interior.
Sixteen of them are new to science
and have therefore been given new
names.
A comparison of these shells with
those OF living turtles shows that the

CONGREGATIONAL. CELEBRATION IN
 BOSTON IN JUNE

g ngregationaists the world over regard themselves as direct descend ants of the Pilgrims who landed at Plymouth Rock over 300 years ago next December. They plan to cele- brate the historic event by a great family reunion in Boston next sum mer. The gathering will take the form of an International Congrega- tional Council. meeting June 29-July 6, in Mechanics Hall, the largest aud itorium in the city. at which Pilgrim principles will be emphasized and ap- piled to present day problems.
 The council will have a member ship of 400 voting delegates chosen by the several national Congregational organizations, 150 from the United States, 150 from the British Isles and 100 from other countries in which there are Congregational churches.
 In addition to these voting mem bers every Congregational church in the world has been invited to send delegates, who will be seated as cor responding members of the council. It is expected that several thousand of these delegates from churches will be present
 On Sunday, July 4th, in the after noon, a memorial service will be held for our soldiers who died in the World War. at which appropriate music will be rendered by a chorus choir by several hundred members under the direction of Prof. H. Augustine Smith of Boston University.
 One of the important features of the council will be an extensive ex- hibit of Congregational history, life and activity in one of the smaller halls of Mechanics building. This will be known as tSThe Congregational World'' and will include photographs, printed matter. charts, objects of his toric interest and other material gath cred from all parts of the world il- frustrating the religious, educational and civic activities of the Congrega- tionaI churches.
 There will, of course, be special ex- cursions to Plymouth Rock and other historic spots in the vicinity of Bos- ton with appropriate exercises.
