ain more or less tufaceous material. Their prevailing color is greenish and greenish-gray. They are apparently composed chiefly of materials derived directly or indirectly from volcanic Sources. In no case are pebbles of quartz or other granitic constituents found in either the sandstones or conglomerates.

The exposures of strata in the first three or four hundred feet at the base are not good, and but few of the silicified trunks appear above the covering of vegetation. At the height of 500 feet, the occurrences become very numerous, and the great size and fine state of preservation of many of the trunks was a matter of much surprise. Prostrate trunks, 50 and 60 feet in length, are of frequent occurrence, and not a few of these are as much as 5 or 6 feet in diameter.

The standing trunks are generally rather short, the degradation of the compact enclosing strata being so slow that the brittle trunks break down almost as fast as they are exposed. In many cases the roots are exposed, and may be seen penetrating the now solid rock with all the original ramifications. One upright trunk, of gigantic proportions, rises from the enclosing strata to the height of twelve feet. By careful measurement it was found to be ten feet in diameter, and as there is nothing to indicate to what part of the tree the exposed section belongs, the roots may be far below the surface, and we are free to imagine that there is buried here a worthy predecessor of the giant Sequoias of California. Although the trunk is hollow, and partly broken down on one side, the woody structure is perfectly preserved, the grain is straight, and the circles of growth distinctly marked. The bark, which still remains on the firmer parts, is four inches thick, and retains perfectly the original deeply lined outer surface. Specimens of the wood and bark were collected, but no microscopic examinations have been made. It is clear, however, that the tree was not a conifer. The strata which enclose this trunk are chiefly fine-grained greenish sandstones, indurated clays, and moderately coarse conglomerates. They have been built around it as it stood in comparatively shallow, but doubtless quiet waters. As would naturally be expected, these strata contain many vegetable remains branches, rootlets, fruits and leaves are extensively enclosed. One stratum of sandstone that occupies a horizon nearly on a level with the present top of the giant tree contains a great variety of the most perfectly preserved leaves. Such specimens as we were able to bring away with us have been submitted to Professor Leo Lesquereux for identification. They are found by him to belong to the Lower Pliocene or Upper Miocene, and correspond in a number of their species with the Chalk Bluffs specimens of Professor Whitney. They include

Aralia Whitneyi, Magnolia lanceolata, Laurus canariensis, Tilia (new sp.),

Fraxinus (new sp.),
Diospyros (new sp.),
Cornus (new sp.),
Pteris (new sp.),
Alnus (new sp.), and a
Fern (new sp.).

It will be observed that most of these species are new, which was also the case with the collection of Professor Whitney. It is also worthy of remark that none of the genera are identical with those of the Elk Creek locality previously mentioned. The stratigraphical relations of the two localities cannot easily be made out, as they are separated by fifteen miles of broken country in which the strata are ob scured by igneous flows and Quaternary drift. The Elk Creek strata are lower by fully one thousand feet.

As far above the leaf-bearing horizon as I was able to ascend, the silicified trunks were very numerous and well preserved, and, by the aid of a field-glass, others could be detected in all parts of the cliff to the highest stratum.

At another point, nearly a mile farther east, I climbed the rugged walls of the mountain for the purpose of examining a number of large trees that were visible from below. Trunks and fragments of trunks were found in great numbers and in all conceivable positions. In most cases the woody structure is well preserved, the trunks have a tendency to break in sections, and on the exposed ends, the lines of growth, from centre to circumference, can be counted with ease. In many cases the wood is quite completely opalized or agatized, and such cavities as existed in the decayed trunks are filled with beautiful crystals of quartz and calcite. Our party was so fortunate as to procure some very handsome specimens of amethyst and ferruginous quartz. It is a matter worthy of observation that nearly all of the beautiful crystals that occur so plentifully in this region have been formed in the hollows of silicified trees. The same fact has been noticed in regard to similar crystals in many parts of the West, and notably in the case of the smoky quartz of the Pike's Peak region in Colorado.

The silicifying agents have been so unusually active in the strata of the Volcanic Tertiary that not only are all organic remains thoroughly silicified, but all cavities in the loosely bedded rocks and all fracture-lines in the strata are filled with chalcedony or other forms of quartz.

On reaching the heavily bedded conglomerates of the upper third of the cliff, I found the trees still more perfectly preserved. Many of the trunks are twenty and thirty feet in height. Their roots are in most cases imbedded in the layers of finer grained materials, in which they grew, while the battered and branchless trunks are encased in the coarse conglomerates and breccias. These latter rocks are composed chiefly of basaltic fragments, many of which are of great size; there is, however, always

enough tufaceous and other fine-grained mate- 1 part of the formations of this age were rearrial to fill in the interstices and act as a cement. ranged or sedimented in water. These beds are massive and irregular, and seem to have accumulated too fast to be thoroughly redistributed by the waters. Only the stronger trees of the forest seem to have withstood the fierce storms of rocks that must have prevailed at the period of their entombment, as the smaller trunks and branches are prostrate or totally destroyed. In most cases where upright trunks penetrate the entire thickness of an enclosing bed, the tops may be seen to terminate with the upper surface of that bed, as if causes had acted at the beginning of the deposition of the succeeding stratum to plane down the irregularities of the old surface. In due course of time, this succeeding stratum produced its growth of forest, which followed its many predecessors into the subterranean depths, and in its turn was buried by the rapidly accumulating conglomerates. This remarkable alternation of events seems, in a general way, to have been kept up from the beginning to the end of the period.

The very precipitous character of the cliffs prevented me from reaching the upper part of the wall at this point, but I succeeded in making my way to the summit of the mountain at two other points, and found that everywhere the section was practically the same.

On the opposite side of the valley the same conditions were observed: the fossil trees occur at the highest point reached, 3,000 feet above the river. The ranges that form the rim of this valley on the north and east reach an elevation of 11,500 feet, and as the conglomerates may be seen reaching and forming the loftiest summits without perceptible break or change of character, it is probable that they will be found to enclose the remains of forests throughout.

On some of the higher summits to the east of Yellowstone Lake, similar stratified conglomerates contain silicified wood in a very fragmentary state. These conglomerates are composed mainly of basaltic and trachytic materials, but contain large quantities of fragments of sandstones and quartzites, which leads to the conclusion that portions of the earlier Tertiary strata have been broken up and ejected with the igneous products. It is quite probable that these strata were among the latter products of the Volcanic Tertiary age proper. They are generally found abutting against masses of unstratified igneous materials that probably mark the sites of islands which were doubtless volcanic centres. I find that as we recede from these centres of eruption the strata diminish very perceptibly in thickness and coarseness of materials, and have at the same time a very perceptible dip toward the surrounding valleys. One is at times led to suspect that portions, at least, of these beds are of sub-aerial formation, as is the case with extensive strata about the cones of modern volcanoes, but there are a multitude of facts that go to prove that the greater

-Earthquakes would seem to be plentiful and wide-spread at present. A Reuter's telegram, of date Messina, June 17, states that continual shocks of earthquake, attributed to the volcanic action of Mount Etna, have oc curred in the neighborhood of Santa, Venere and Guardia, causing serious damage and considerable loss of life. Vesuvius is stated to be showing signs of activity. A distinct shock of earthquake is reported to have been felt on Monday at Tobermory, and other places in Mull in the Hebrides. The shock passed from north-east to south-west. On the 7th inst, an earthquake of short duration was observed at Nersailles at 10.55 P. M. There was a severe skock of earthquake in Costa Rica on the night of May 29. The cathedral and many of the principal buildings of San Jose were shattered, and much damage was done in other parts of the republic.

HILL'S KANSAS EXPLORATIONS.-During the past year Russell S. Hill, of Philadelphia, continued his explorations of the Loup Fork formation of Kansas and Nebraska. He obtained fine specimens of the large Mammals discovered last year, especially of Mastodon Campester and Aphelops fossiger, and added representations of groups not previously known from this horizon. He discovered the pharyngeal bones of Cyprinoid fishes, probably of the genus Alburnops, also salamanders and Anura. There are also Lacertilia and snakes, some of the latter Crotalidæ, as indi cated by the characteristic Maxillary bone, with its teeth. Specimens of Proceroulous furcatus, with a burr on the horn, show that this species did not differ from P. necatus in this respect; also that the P. ramosus is distinct from it, as a species. In Nebraska, Mr. Hill found the Ticholetus beds containing Leptanchenia, etc., occupying the place between the White River and Loup Fork formations, already assigned them.

Parties who are prompt in ordering books will almost invariably get what they order, but even if they do not, it is an advantage to them to order, as I am pretty certain to get what they wish, as I am buying more scientific books than any other dealer in the United States. Of course there are many books so rare that copies are only offered at long intervals. POSTAGE MUST BE PREPAID. As my books are so low that they go off very rapidly, parties at a distance will do well to send a secondary list to be selected from in case their first choice is already sold. Where a return of money in case of books sold is not specified, it will be held and a special effort made to get the books for customers. Often heretofore a special request to get the books as soon as possible has been made. Almost any text-book furnished at the publisher's price, even if not on my catalogue.

All books cloth, octavo or smaller, unless otherwise specified; 8 is octavo; 4to is quarto; F. French; G. German; L. Latin. To save space books are numbered by 10s and units; thus 3 is 18453, 18450 being the last ten, &c. Especial attention is called to the list of books previously catalogued of which I have recently bought other copies. The numbers will be found on another page.

Where parties are willing to pay a little higher than my catalogue price, I can frequently get the books for them at the N. Y. and Phila. stores When parties are ordering books of me, they can have other books sent in same package, at about cost; any book that is on sale in N. Y. or Phila. procured, packed and shipped at dealers regular retail rates, without charge. Subscriptions taken for all scientific periodicals.

It is believed that the prices on scientific and medical books are from a half to a third lower than those of any one else making a specialty of them. They are much lower than those of most dealers, even if they do not catalogue. This is mainly due to the fact that I do not wish to carry a stock of second-hand books.
