umbrella. In the pterodactyl
only one finger is elongated for n
wing, the membrane being stretched
between that and the rather long hind
legs. The wing finger was the fourth
digit, and the remains of the first
three digits, reduced to small claws,
can easily be recognized on the upper
border Of the wing.
The head is most extraordinary
part of the animal. All pterodactyls
have large but lightly constructed
skulls with a long beak, which in
most of them Is set with sharp needle
like teeth. The Pteranodon, as it's
name Indicates, is toothless, with
great, sharp-pointed beak somewhat
like that of stork or kingfsher,
and a very light and delicately-con,
structed skull with an enormous COM
pressed crest stretching backward
from it. almost equal to the beak in
length
The neck is moderately long and
strong, as would be needed to carry
the large head but the body looks
absurdly short and small and the tail
is mere little stub. The backbone
between the shoulders is all CONSOLE
dated into single piece tcalled the
notarium), just as the backbone be-
tween the hip bones is consolidated
In most animals into a single piece
called the sacrum. The upper end Of
the shoulder girdle (scapula) is SOCK
eted into the side of the notarium,
the lower end (coracoid) into the
sternum on the under side of the
body. This affords very strong pur-
chase for the wings, stronger even
than in birds, which sometimes have
the vertebrate partly consolidated like
notarium, but never get SO far as
to have the scapula socketed into it.
Great Spread Of Wing.
The breastbone or sternum is not sc
unlike the breastbone of bird. 1t Is
broad fiat plate with high crest
| projecting forward and downward in
the middle line, to which the prin-
| cipal wing muscle is attached. II
this specimen, unfortunately, the
sternum was missing altogether.
The ribs are very imperfect, short
and little curved. Probably n con
siderable part Of the body basket was
cartilaginous, so that 1t has not beer
preserved as fossil. The ribs Il

be applied 1t is difficult to see how
a sufficient width could be obtained
for the stretched membrane Of the
wings unless 1t were extended down
along the sides Of the hind legs, as
Doctor Williston believed, and not
merely along the side Of the body
as Doctor Seeley supposed. Then IL
the membrane was stretched on the
outer side Of each hind leg, 1t must
also have been stretched between
them and up to the tail, in order to
take the strain off the legs. 1t may
also be supposed that the membrane
stretched from the neck out on each
side over the shoulders as far pa thal
apteroid bone" as this would have
some obvious mechanical advantages.
In life all the principal bones Of
pterodactyls were thin, hollow cylin-
ders Of an exceptionally hard and
flaky quality of bone. Moreover, there
are, in some Of the bones at least,
openings corresponding to those In
birds, which serve to allow air to cir
culate within the hollow cavity Of the
bone.
Soaring Like Bird.
This is not the only point in which
pterodactyls resemble birds. They
have also much higher type Of brain
than ordinary reptiles the cerebellum
or hind-brain Is large, and, as in birds,

some high authorities, that-like birds
they had rapid circulation Of the

sweeping tirelessly across the broad
glittering surface Of the Cretaceous
seas, patrolling them from dawn to
dusk in search Of such unwary fish OF
pelagic mollusks as might be summing
themselves at the surface and come
within reach of the sudden swoor

would avoid actually coming dowr
upon the surface of the water, fol
that would involve at least great
deal OF difficulty in rising again into
the air-indeed 1t is not easy to SEE
how it would be possible for the giant
Pteranodon to rise from the level sea
save through aid of the wind. Al
night he would perhaps return to the
shore many miles distant, and hani
himself up on some favored roost-
tree or rocky point-anywhere tina

The skill with which Sue constructs
his story, Introducing character after

elements into unified whole, Is
marvel Of artistry. 1t II also inter
esting to note throughout the novel
the authors knowledge Of medicine
his handling Of drugs, his portrayal Of
hospital practices, and other technical
touches relative to his profession.
Wherever such data can be turned to
use he does not hesitate to employ it,
fearlessly setting forth in black and

from proclaiming to France, as did

ago as Aug. Is Of last year, as to what
it proposed to do with respect to the
adjustment Of American claims, no nnal
reply had ever been received by him. He
indicated that though most Of the claims
had been outstanding since before the
American declaration of war against Ger
many, efforts Of the State Department to
effect a settlement had proved unavail-
ing.
In a communication addressed to Gena-
tor Lodge under date OF March 8 and
made public today, Mr.. Colby stated:
For obvious reasons American claims
for compensation were not pressed
against the British government during ths
war. In communication dated Aug. 18,
1920, inquiry was made If the British
government were prepared to enter into
an arrangement for reciprocal adjustment
of claims growing out Of acts of Amer
lean and British authorities incident to
the war. No final reply has been re-
ceived from the British government to
that communication"
Attached to Colby's communication
were copies of the voluminous corre-
spondence exchanged by the State De-
partment with the British foreign office
in a vain effort during and after Ameri-
can participation in the war, to obtain
from the British government some final
decision regarding American claims
