Tue Fifth Volume of the Proceedings of the Davenport Academy of
Natural Sciences is submitted to the scientific public with the hope that it may
be found on the same plane of werth and: interest with the volumes heretofore
issued.

Valuable work in various fields is shown. Of special interest are the five
botanical papers of the late Dr. C. C. Parry, and to him also fell the kindly
task of preparing che memorials, herein contained, of the late Prof. D. S. Shel-
don, LL.D., first President of the Academy, and of the late R.Smetham. The
last work of Dr. Parry’s life was the paper on “Ceanothus, L.” Only those
most intimately connected with the publication of the Proceedings of the
Davenport Academy of Natural Sciences can appreciate how much of success
was due to the fertile brain, untiring energy, and well-earned, world-wide repu-
tation of Dr. Parry. Many an early morning hour found him, after a brisk walk
from his country home, in consultation with the Chairman. The last pages
of Volume V., fresh from the press, were brought by him to the train, Septem-
ber 22, 1889, as the Chairman started on a journey across the seas. The fare-
well words were spoken, the last grasp of the hand taken, for in a brief time —
February 22, 1890 — Dr. Parry took the longer journey from whence no traveler
returns. The publication since then has taken a long rest, ostensibly waiting
for the “Index” —really paralyzed by the repeated inroads upon the member-
ship made by death and removals.

Among the prominent supporters of the Academy who have been called
away was the late Charles E. Putnam, who contributed so much to the perma-
nent value of its publications, and whose efficient administration as President
closes this Volume. The late James Thompson, whose sudden death occurred
a few hours after his reélection to the Presidency, was a member of the Publi-
cation Committee. The removal of our former enthusiastic Curator, Prof. W.
H. Pratt, to Minneapolis, is felt as a very serious loss.

Other willing and able hands are taking up the work in various lines, and
continued generous support by the community at large, and accumulating be-
quests to the Endowment Fund, give every reason for encouragement in the
future. Prof. Samuel Calvin, Iowa State Geologist, and Dr. Jennie McCowen
are now on the Publication Committee. Prof. W. H. Barris, whose reputation
as a geologist needs no mention, has taken the place of Prof. Pratt, as Curator.

On December 14, 1892, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the
Academy was celebrated by a successful entertainment, one delightful feature
of which was the reading by the Secretary, Dr. Jennie McCowen, of a most
carefully-prepared paper, giving a concise résumé of the history and work of

iv PREFACE.

the Academy. Many letters of congratulation from distant friends were read.
The marked increase of the library since the distribution of the Proceedings is
very gratifying. It now contains over 28,000 volumes, which are housed in the
fire-proof building of the Academy.

The Synopsis of Proceedings—in which will be found, page 248, a revision
of the Constitution and By-Laws, as adopted March 25, 1887 —is brought down
in this volume from 1885 to 1888, inclusive. A completed index of the five
volumes thus far published is appended, for the preparation of which the
Academy is indebted to Prof. W. J. McGee, of the United States Geological
Survey, and his able assistant, Mr. Van Doren. The portrait of the late Prof.
D. S. Sheldon, LL.D., as frontispiece of Volume V., was the gift of his former
pupils of Griswold College, through the efforts of Mr. George F. Henry, of
Des Moines.

It is the purpose of the Academy to publish hereafter in brochure form all
papers accepted, as soon as possible after presentation. In pursuance of this
plan, the following have already been issued as part of Volume VI.:

1. Bibliography of Iowa Antiquities, by Frederick Starr, Ph. D., of Chicago

University.

2. Ancient Grooved Rocks in Arkansas, by W. A. Chapman.

3. Buddhism in America, by Edward L. Berthoud, of Golden, Colorado.

Among other papers promised are one by Prof. Calvin, of the State Univer-
sity, and one by Prof. Barris on the local geology of Davenport.

The portraits of Dr. C. C. Parry and C. E. Putnam will also be contained
in Volume VI., with biographical sketches.

VOLUME V.

PAs EES.

ON CERTAIN RECENT, QUATERNARY, AND NEW
FRESH-WATER MOLLUSCA.

BY R. ELLSWORTH CALL.

Read before the Academy, February 26th, 1886.

THE area which has contributed most of these forms is little known
conchologically. All the knowledge gathered concerning its molluscan
fauna is fragmentary, and, for the most part, scattered through many
publications, rendering a collation of their information an imperative
need. Such a collation has been for some time in progress, and the
present writer hopes soon to present a summary of the results.

Of the six species herein described, four have hitherto been charac-
terized by me, two of which were, in deference to authority, given
only varietal rank. It is now proposed to recognize the varietal names
as of specific value, and to republish the original descriptions as ap-
plicable to the specific name. This disposition is made in the light of
continued and careful study of these forms in conjunction with well-
preserved specimens of the species of which they were formerly re-
garded as varieties.

RISSOIDA..
Genus AmMNicoLta Gould & Haldeman (1841).

(Plate I., Figs. 4-6.)
Amnicola dall, Call.— Bull) U.S: Geoll(Sur., No. 11, p: 45, Plate” Vile bias:

4-6 (1884).

Shell narrowly umbilicate, obtusely conical, shining, slightly striated,
brown or greenish horn color; whorls four, convex, gradually increasing
in size; suture regularly impressed, somewhat deep; aperture rounded
before, somewhat angular behind, bluish white within ; lip simple, sharp,
margins joined by a thick callus, columella rather reflexed.

Length, 3.50™™; breadth, 2.30™™.

Habitat and Station.— Mountain streams tributary to Pyramid Lake,
North-west Nevada.

For the diagnosis of the lingual dentition I am indebted to Mr.
Charles E. Beecher, who has prepared the following description and

illustrations:

“Jaw thin, membranaceous.

“Odontophore 1.10™™ long, .13™™" wide. In a full-grown example
the odontophore has 94 transverse rows of teeth, with the formula
3—I —3-.

“Rhachidian tooth short and broad, with the inferior lateral angles
produced. Cusp with seven denticles, of which the central one is the
largest. The anterior lateral faces are each furnished with a short,
strong, conical denticle, and the adjacent lateral margin of the tooth
is thickened and slightly produced. Formula for rhachidian tooth:

“Body of intermediate tooth quadrate; infero-interior angle some-
what produced: furnished with a large bullation, into which the infero-
interior angle of the succeeding tooth appears to fit as if for articula-
tion. Peduncle long and straight. Cusp with seven strong angular
denticles, arranged according to the formula 241+ 4.

“Body of the first lateral tooth elongate-triangular, oblique to the
direction of the broad peduncle. Cusp inflected, and carrying twenty-
three slender denticles.

“Outer lateral tooth hamate, with no marked distinction between the
body and peduncle. Free extremity incurved and bearing thirty-four
minute denticles. The denticle formula is, therefore,

“The apparent articulation of the intermediate teeth, as described
above, was observed in a fragment of an odontophore which presented
a lateral aspect under the microscope. It is not known that this feat-
ure has ever been noted in any other species, although it very proba-
bly occurs in many which have foraminated or bullate teeth. This
disposition of the teeth would allow great flexion of the odontophore
without their displacement.”

This quite distinct form was collected in considerable numbers at
Symon’s Stage Station, near the foot of Pyramid Lake, Nevada. Its
nearest congener is A. porata Say, from which it differs in elevation,
sculpturing, and dentition. Since this last character is the one of chief
importance, the description of the dentition is here given. Comparing
the denticle formule of the two forms, thus:

the dissimilarity is strongly marked. Specimens may be seen in nu-
merous private collections, and in the cabinets of the Smithsonian In-
stitution, the New York State Museum of Natural History, and the

Davenport Academy of Natural Sciences.

VALVATID.
Genus Vatvata Miller (1774).
Valvata utahensis, sp. nov.
(Plate L., Figs. 1-3.)
Valvata sincera, var. utahensis, Call.— Bull. U. S. Geol. Sur., No. 11, p. 44, Plate

VI., Figs. 1-3 (1884).

Shell operculate, narrowly umbilicate, conical, with minute trans-
verse strize, shining, somewhat pellucid, yellowish horn color at apex,
white below; spire obtusely elevated, flattened at tip; suture well im-
pressed; whorls four, convex, regularly increasing, the uppermost ones
with a single well-marked carina, which becomes obsolete on the last
whorl; last whorl equals one-half the whole length of the shell; aper-
ture circular, slightly angled posteriorly; peristome simple, continuous,
joined to the next whorl above bya very slight calcareous deposit;
within white.

Operculum light horn color, corneus, spirally multivolute, slightly
produced posteriorly to conform to the shape of the aperture. Denti-
tion unpublished.

This form was dredged by the writer, in August, 1883, in great num-
bers in Utah Lake, near Lehi, not far from the head of the River
Jordan. It is intermediate between Valvata sincera Say and V. virens
Tryon. From the first it differs in the unicarinate upper whorls, in
being more elevated, in possessing a very much smaller umbilicus, and
in its greater size. From the second it differs in color, size, carination,
and form of aperture. It resembles, in some respects, V. unicarinata
De Kay (=F. ¢ricarinata Say), but differs in size, ornamentation, and
form of aperture. Specimens may be seen in the Smithsonian Institu-
tion, in the New York State Museum of Natural History, in the Daven-
port Academy of Natural Sciences, and in the private collections of
Beecher, Stearns, Dall, Aldrich, and the writer.

LIMN AIDA.
Genus Rapvtx Montfort (1810).

Radix utahensis, sp. nov.
(Plate I., Figs. 7-9.)
Radix ampla, var. wtahensis, Call.— Bull. U. S. Geol. Sur., No. 11, p. 47, Plate

VI., Figs. 7-9 (1884).

Shell globose, somewhat umbilicated, irregularly costate, light horn
color, nearly pellucid; spire rather small, conical; whorls four to four
and one-half, convex, somewhat flattened above, giving rather a shoul-
dered appearance to the whorls, rapidly increasing in size, the last
whorl being inflated, with numerous rather marked transverse costz,
minutely wrinkled; suture somewhat deep, regularly impressed; aper-
ture elongately ovate, effuse, approaching patulous, pearly white within;
outer lip simple, the margin connected by a slight calcareous deposit;
columella somewhat twisted, but straight in front. Dentition unpub-
lished. Length of largest specimen, 16.82™"; breadth, 8.88™™. The
average of nine specimens gave a length of 13 40™™, breadth 7.10™™,
with about the same ratio for corresponding measurements of aperture.

engi, 13:40" > breadth, 7.1r0™™.

Length of aperture, 9.0o™; breadth of aperture, 5.go™™.

Ffabitat and Station.— \.ake Utah, Lehi, Utah.

This is a rare form in Utah Lake, its only locality so far as known.
Its nearest affinity is Radix ampla Mighels. In the preceding refer-
ence its relation to Polyrhytis kingii Meek has been noted. It was
associated with abundant specimens of the Va/vata herein described,
and with Fluminicola fusca Haldeman and Spherium dentatum Halde-
man. Specimens may be seen as above.

Genus Limnopuysa Fitzinger (1833).

Limnophysa bonnevillensis, sp. nov.
(Plate I., Figs. 10-13.)
Limnophysa bonnevillensis, Call.— Bull. U. S. Geol. Sur., No. 11, p. 48, Plate

VI., Figs. 10-13 (1884).

Shell umbilicated, elongate, ventricose or bullate, somewhat solid,
faintly striate and very minutely reticulated below the suture, the last
whorl bearing faint longitudinal ridges or costa; spire elevated, acute ;
suture deeply impressed; whorls 4 to 4%, very much rounded, some-
times tending to geniculation above, the last whorl equal to three-
fourths the whole length of the shell, rapidly increasing in size, much
swollen, somewhat expanded at base; columella somewhat plicate,
slightly callous, regularly arcuate; columella and peristome continu-
ous; peristome simple, margins joined by a heavy callus, which is con-
tinuous and so reflexed as to partially close the umbilicus; aperture
broadly ovate, often patulous, equal to one-half the entire length of the
shell, oblique, angled slightly behind.

Fossil, Quaternary. Bonneville Lake beds, Kelton, Utah.

The four largest specimens of the many in the collections give the
following dimensions:

ery, above which it is flattened, many-banded and smooth, or bandless
and coarsely multistriate, the striae cord-lke and variable in number,
coarsely and obliquely wrinkled by the well-marked lines of growth;
suture well but irregularly impressed; aperture oblique, trapezoidal,
twice as long as broad, effuse, white or creamy-white within, often
banded with broad purple bands, slightly retuse at columellar region;
peristome simple, sigmoid, a little thickened, somewhat reflexed at
base of columella; columella thickened, always white, twisted; parietal
wall usually with a thick deposit of callus, which is sensibly thickened
near the posterior angle of aperture.
Operculum black, otherwise as usual in the genus.

Habitat and Station.—-This shell occurred only in a limited area in
Dyke’s Creek, a clear and cold mountain stream tributary to the Etowah
River, Floyd County, Georgia. Associated with it were numerous speci-
mens of Margaritana georgiana \.ea, two species of undetermined U70,
Goniobasis vittata Anthony, and Goniobasis bella Conrad. It has the
habit of Azculosa, and is to be sought only in the most swiftly flowing
and deepest portions of the stream, on rocks. It is not abundant, the
most painstaking examination revealing some two hundred individuals.

The characters given are those which appear to be most constant,
though some of these are variable. The variations, as usual in this
family, range through wide limits. Thus, occasional specimens of the
smooth and banded type depart so far from the figure that the whorls
are loosely coiled and very much rounded; this does not appear to be
of varietal value, but is pathologic. The color, again, ranges from light
yellow to dark olive, and the peripheral angle becomes almost a carina.
The average dimensions of seventeen individuals are, for length, 21.14™™;
for breadth, 12.02™. The largest specimen has a length of 26.08™™
and a diameter of 14.00™™.

Specimens may be seen in the United States National Museum,
Cornell University, New York State Museum of Natural History,
Amherst College, Davenport Academy of Natural Sciences, and in the
private collections of C. E. Beecher, T. H. Aldrich, and the writer.
The species is named in honor of Dr. R. E. C. Stearns, so well known
for his researches on the Pacific Coast mollusca.

CORBICULID.

Genus SPHERIUM Scopoli (1777).

Spherium uintaense, sp. nov.

Shell thin, small, globose, ventricose, slightly
inequilateral, posterior and anterior margins well
rounded, very slightly produced posteriorly; um-
bones large, subcalyculate, full, rounded, dark,
retaining embryonic shell, approximate; basal
margin rounded, thus giving a circular outline to

shell; epidermis shining, dark straw or olive col-
ored, substriate, light vellowish on basal margin ;
cardinal teeth microscopic, slightly in advance of
the middle region of the umbones, not widely
separating; lateral teeth small, short, somewhat
upcurved.

Viewed in profile from in front, the point of junc-
tion of lower portion of valves with the embry-
onic shell appears as a well-marked obtuse angle.

Length, 4.76"; diameter, 4.02™; number of
specimens, eight.

Habitat and Station.— A \ake in the Uinta
Mountains, Utah, at an elevation of 10,500 feet.

an The specimens were communicated by Prof.

Sprarium uintarnse. Orson Howard, of Salt Wake -City, amdtimence

x5 collected by him in August, 1885.

This species is remarkable for its small size, all the specimens seen
being mature, and one with fry, and for the great elevation at which it
occurred. This is by far the greatest hypsometic range recorded for
any lamellibranch. The lake is snow-fed, and therefore its normal
temperature must be far below that of waters in which the Cordicu-
lide usually occur. Its extreme fragility and small size, it is believed,
must be coordinated with these features of its environment. Specimens
are in the collection of Prof. O. Howard and ox the writer.

It may not be altogether improper, in this connection, to advert to
the lax usage of naturalists in connection with the terms /adifat and
station. They are used as though strictly synonymic, while possessed
of a definite and precise meaning. It is proposed, therefore, that the
term Aabitat be used in the sense of geographic distribution, while s¢a-
tion should be used always and alone to indicate the immediate phys-
ical environment of the form considered. Such is the sense herein con-
templated.

CALL AND PILSBRY—ON PYRGULOPSIS. 9

ON PYRGULOPSIS, A NEW GENUS OF RISSOID
MOLLUSK, WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF
TWO NEW FORMS.

BY R. ELLSWORTH CALL AND HARRY A. PILSBRY.
Read before the Academy, February 26th, 1886.

In September, 1883, Mr. R. E. C. Stearns described a rissoid mol-
lusk from Pyramid Lake, Nevada, under the name of Pyrgula neva-
densis. His description was based, in part, upon material furnished
by one of the present writers, which was, at that time, inconsiderable
in amount. In the following year the form was collected in almost
incredible numbers in the original locality, and studied by Messrs.
Call and Beecher in as complete a manner as rather unfavorable cir-
cumstances would admit. At that time the generic reference of the
species appeared to be unquestionable, and, in the absence of speci-
mens of European Pyrgu/a for comparison, was agreed upon as prob-
ably correct. Since this later study of the Nevada form, in which the
dentition was illustrated and found to be rissoid, additional data have
accumulated, which appear to render impossible the original generic
reference. These data consist, in the main, of a careful study of the orig-
inal bibliographic matter concerning the institution of Pygula as a
genus, of the discovery of at least two additional forms which seem to be
congeneric with Pyrgula nevadensis, neither of which agree with typical
Pyrgula, either in station or understood hypsometric range, and of
certain conchologic features that appear in the following diagnosis. In
the further absence of any generic group which will include these shells,
it has seemed proper to institute for their reception a genus that would
do no violence to their conchologic affinities or to their geographic
distribution. We therefore propose the name of Pyrgi/lopsis for these
forms, and define the genus as follows:

PYRGULOPSIS, gen. nov.
(Etymolory: Pyrgula, and ofsis aspect of.)
Type, Pyrgulopsis nevadensis Stearns.
Pyrgula nevadensis Stearns.—- Proc. Phila. Acad. Nat. Sci., 1883.

Generic characters: Shell minute, conically turreted, somewhat
elongated, imperforate, unicarinate; apex acute; aperture ovate; peri-
treme continuous.

[Proc. D. A. N.5S., Vou. V.] 2 [ May 25, 1885.]

i fe) DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

Operculum ovate, thin, corneous, spiral, with polar point well forward
and approximating the columella.

Jaw thin, membranaceous.

Odontophore with teeth arranged in transverse rows, according to
the formula 3+1-+3. Formula for denticles of rhachidian:

4t144
1421.

Distribution: Western and South-western United States, in fresh or
brackish water.

So far as known to us, the typical European Pyrguw/e are bicarinate
or multicarinate. The type of the genus is the species described by
Michelin* as JZelania helvetica. ‘The founders of the genus, Christoforo
and Jan, described the same form as Pyrgula annulata, from a locality
in Switzerland. Figures 11 and 12 of Plate II. are drawn from Switzer-
land specimens of this form.

As above defined, this genus will include the form described by Mr.
John Wolf as Pyrgula scalariformis.t Although the first described
species, it was not considered advisable to constitute this form the type
of the genus. Being a post-pliocene fossil, it was impossible to indi-
cate those characters in the animal itself which are desirable in framing
an intelligible diagnosis. ‘These have, so far as the operculum and
dentition go, been studied in the Nevada form only. The remaining
species to be included are, besides the type, P. muississippiensis, sp.
nov., and P. spimosus, sp. NOV.

Operculum light corneous, spiral, closely fitting the aperture.

The following account and illustration of the dentition is by Mr.
Charles E. Beecher, who has devoted much attention to the dentition
of this group:

“Jaw thin, membranaceous.

“Odontophore .62™™ in length, and .15™™ in width. There are usu-
ally fifty-five transverse rows of teeth, arranged according to the for-
mula 3 —1—3, which is common to the family Azssoide.

“Rhachis distinct, occupying one-fourth the width of the ribbon.
Rhachidian tooth (Fig. 1) short and broad, with the infero-lateral angles
produced and slightly arcuate. On each side of the anterior face is a
strong, short, conical process or basal tooth projecting outward and
somewhat downward. Basal margin trilobate; central lobe truncate.
Cusp curved forward, and extended into a strong denticle with four
smaller ones on each side. The formula of the denticles for this tooth
would, therefore, be:

“Body of intermediate tooth* subrhomboidal, with the infero-interior
angle slightly produced and with an angulation in the margin above.
From this point there is a thickening or ridge extending toward the
fixed end. Peduncle longer than the body of the tooth. Upper mar-
gin abruptly curved forward and marked by seven denticles, of which
the third inner one is usually the largest; the formula for this tooth
may be written 2+1+4.

“Inner lateral tooth (Fig. 3) spoon-shaped, with the infero-interior
margin angular. Upper anterior margin marked with a fringe of about
twenty-four denticles, decreasing in length from the interior extremity.
Peduncle straight, wider than the body.

“Outer lateral tooth (Fig. 4) falciform, straight along the peduncle.
Anterior margin and extremity denticulated with thirty minute denti-
cles, usually decreasing in length toward the distal extremity, but
subject to some variation. The denticulate margin extends more than
one-third the length of the tooth. Peduncles slender and nearly

straight.
“The formula for the denticles is:

marked by a regular fringe of slender denticles, which are much
smaller on the outer lateral.

“Some portions of the membrane and different specimens show con-
siderable variation in the length and strength of the denticles on the
lateral teeth, and sometimes their number seems subject to some
mutation. The numbers given in the formule were averaged from
several enumerations, and represent the comparative denticulation of

This species has a limited distribution, occurring only, so far as
present information goes, in North-western Nevada, in Walker and
Pyramid Lakes. Living forms have been collected only in the last-
named locality.

The description of Dr. Stearns has been amended to form a diag-
nosis as complete as very extensive series would permit. ‘The shell is
exceedingly variable, ranging from short and stout to long and slender,
and from strongly carinate to entirely smooth. Figures 6, 7, and 8 of

tral on periphery of last whorl, body-whorl equal to one-half entire
length of shell and bluntly angulated at position of carina; epidermis

narrowly ovate, broadly rounded before and narrowly rounded behind.
very oblique; peritreme continuous, almost rimate, slightly reflected
over the parietal wall; lip simple, sharp.

Animal unknown.

This form has hitherto occurred only in the Mississippi River, near
the mouth of Rock River, on the Illinois side — Rock Island County,
Illinois. Many dead specimens have been taken, but, as yet, no living
ones. It differs in important particulars from the P. scalariformis,
Wolf, which is “carinate its entire length,” has a different aperture,
and is markedly different in the character of the sutures. Our species
is ecarinate on all whorls above the body-whorl, the carina being de-
pressed and filling entirely the suture. The outlines of the apical
whorls are wholly unlike the figured type of Wolf’s species. The aver-
age measurements of the four specimens upon which the preceding
description is based are, for length, 4.66™™; for breadth, 1.61™™, The
proportions of length and breadth, while variable, do not vary within
so wide limits as the P. zevadensis. ‘Vhe individual measurements are

Habitat.— Comal Creek, a clear stream at New Braunfels, Texas,
on rocky bottoms. It was associated with numerous specimens of
Gontobasis pleuristriata Say, Amnicola (species undetermined), and
Bythinella (species undetermined).

In some particulars this form may be compared with Stimpson’s
genus Potamopyrgus. It differs radically, however, in the character of
the spinous processes, which in that type are epidermal, while in our
form they are true testaceous products. It is the only spinous rissoid

described from the United States.

BARRIS—A DEFENSE OF OUR LOCAL GEOLOGY. 15

A DEFENSE OF OUR LOCAL GEOLOGY.
BY W. H. BARRIS.

[Being a criticism of a pamphlet on the “Geology of Scott County, Lowa, and Rock
Island County, Illinois,” by A. S. Tiffany. Originally read as an address before
the Academy, it is published in such form, rather than as a more rigidly strict
scientific paper. |

Read before the Academy, February 20th, 1886.

Ir was an unfortunate venture when the author of this pamphlet
proclaimed in the “Naturalist’s Directory” that his forte consisted in
“the correct naming of fossils.” His friends had a right to expect that
in his first paper on the subject, a claim so conspicuously set forth
would be fully substantiated. They certainly were not prepared to
recognize within a few pages no less than one hundred and eighty blun-
ders in the correct naming of fossils.* The printers of the pamphlet,
realizing that their reputation for accuracy might be compromised by
the occurrence of such blunders, remonstrated; but they were over-
ruled, and given to understand it was just as it should be.

It certainly was unfavorable for the kind reception of the pamphlet
that blunders should be allowed to accumulate in such numbers. One,
two, or more, might be overlooked; but the presence of so many
errors gives rise, most naturally, to the suspicion that the same want
of care, thought, and judgment that led to such blunders, even in the
naming of fossils, might equally fail to grasp the nice distinctions on
which genus and species are founded; in other words, blunders in the
correct naming of fossils might pave the way for blunders in their iden-
tification. The suspicion is confirmed by the result.

We are confronted with the statement that from the Corniferous
limestone developed in this locality have been gathered over two hun-
dred and forty-six species of fossils. We infer the utter improbability
that this number of species are found in this locality, from the follow-
ing considerations :

First. Vhe character of the rock is against it. Professor Hall, of
our first State Geological Survey, writing of the Corniferous limestone
of our vicinity, says: “The large amount of shaly matter mingling with
the material of the rock, or occurring as shaly seams between the beds,
would appear to render the condition of the ancient ocean unfit for the

* The errors noted are distributed as follows, viz.: In the first list, page 7, 44; in the second
list, page 17, 57; in the third list, page 24, 45; in the fourth list, page 28, 18; in the fifth list, page
29, 3; in the text, 18; making a total of 185.

16 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

development of animal life. In nearly all the exposures observed it
contains few fossils.” * Professor Hall had access only to the expos-
ures above the city. Since that time quarries have been opened below.
The general character of the rock, to some extent, still prevails. That
it is unfavorable to the preservation of fossil remains is apparent from
the condition in which they are found. It holds them firmly, and gives
them up reluctantly. Ground into small fragments before the deposi-
tion of the rock, they are compacted into its substance. If large frag-
ments occur, they are generally broken or crushed. Even where a
somewhat perfect external form appears, in the majority of cases the
finer markings and the delicate organs, on the preservation of which
identification depends, are obliterated beyond all hope of restoration.
As a general rule, the rarer the fossil the more damaged is its condi-
tion. Of the genus Stereocrinus, one of our Crinoids, of which scat-
tered fragments had: been found from time to time, it was not till
after six or seven years of exploration that a specimen was found in a
sufficiently good condition to warrant description and illustration. In
a single instance a reef is formed, abounding in fossils on its upper sur-
face. The most noticeable fact is not the abundance of differing spe-
cies, but the recurrence of so many individuals of the same species.
While they exist in numbers partially weathered, it is to the exclusion
of every other form. At the same time, it is so difficult to extricate
the individual from the mass, that it would be impossible to find a sin-
gle well-preserved specimen in any cabinet in the city. From such a
character of the rock, we deduce that no great number of species may
be expected.

As a second consideration, the limited exposures of the rock are
against it. In this respect, geologists at a distance, who have never
visited us, find it difficult to realize our situation. In proportion as
the exposures of a rock are multiplied, extended, as they often are,
along a river or some other natural exposure, or cropping out at inter-
vals throughout a State, in that proportion we look for abundance of
species. We emphasize this fact. Our whole Corniferous limestone
in its fossiliferous portion comprises simply two or three slight expos-
ures above the city —now almost obliterated —a slight show between
Rock Island and Moline, also at Milan, and two or three small, insig-
nificant quarries below the city. This is the whole extent of the fossil-
bearing limestone as exposed in our vicinity. We are told that out of
this have come two hundred and forty-six species of fossils.

* Geology of Iowa, Vol. I., p. S4.

BARRIS—A DEFENSE OF OUR LOCAL GEOLOGY. ty]

A third consideration opposed to such statement is this: The ex-
perience of all other geologists is against it. No geologist from abroad
ever visited our quarries without a disappointment, both as to the num-
ber of fossils obtained and the unsatisfactory condition in which they
were found. I might appeal to every member of the Academy who
has ever wrought in this rock, as to the want of success that has inva-
riably attended his labors. A whole summer’s work may be summed
up thus: Much time spent, many visits made, and few fossils found.
And hence the universal surprise expressed at the statement of the au-
thor of this pamphlet, that in this meagre locality he had collected no
less than two hundred and forty-six species of fossils.

Taking into consideration the character of the rock, the fewness of
its exposures, the uniform testimony of all other workers in the rock,
the statement of the author as to the number of species collected will
never be credited by any practical geologist. There will be a suspi-
cion that the number of blunders in the matter of identification will
equal, if not far exceed, the number of blunders already referred to.

As a fourth consideration, such a number of species is not favored
by a comparison of this with other localities. A test case might be
reached, could we find elsewhere in the Corniferous limestone an expos-
ure as limited as ours, and with rock of similar character. Failing to
do so, and using such material as I have access to, I compare the small
with the great. Certain facts in the geology of the State of Michigan
may aid us in this matter.

It will be remembered that Professor Rominger, the present State
Geologist, has drawn no line between the Corniferous limestone and the
Hamilton group, but treats them as one formation. It extends on the
eastern shore of Lake Michigan from twenty to twenty-five miles, with
a far greater exposure on the western shore of Lake Huron, bordering
rivers, inland lakes, and islands. In places, particular exposures are
measured, not as ours, by the rod, but by the mile. Professor Win-
chell, of the first Geological Survey, writes: “Twenty rods west of this
locality is a more considerable exposure, extending along the beach for
three-quarters of a mile, and forming an escarpment which, at some
points, attains an elevation of thirty-five feet.” *

Professor Rominger says of Khagashewung Point: “For more than
a mile’s length it is lined with vertical rock bluffs, about fifteen feet
high.” +

18 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

These two exposures, in extent of surface, exceed ours a hundred, if
not many hundred times. So much for extent of rock.

Another equally important fact is its prevailing fossiliferous charac-
ter. In many places, limestones and shales are absolutely crowded
with fossils, many of which are in an excellent state of preservation.
Professor Rominger writes in reference to the shoals near Thunder Bay
Island: “The exuberance of fossils is most beautifully exhibited. One
sailing on them can see for miles the whole bottom paved with corals
in convex lumps, from a few inches to some feet in diameter, their white
sparry substance contrasting beautifully with the dark limestone which
incloses them.” *

Professor Winchell says of a certain coral: “Fine specimens of this
coral can be collected in any quantity, even to a shipload.” +

With such extensive exposures of rock, in many portions crowded
with fossils, we ask as to the number of species that are found. If our
meagre exposure, measured by a few rods, affords two hundred and
forty-six species and more, may we not expect a proportionate increase
in number with miles of exposure, its profusion of fossils, two of the
most accomplished geologists of the day engaged in the survey, and the
wealth of the whole State of Michigan to back them in their work?
What is the result? Professor Winchell thus writes: “The table which
follows embraces a list of all the fossils thus far collected, including the
collections of my recent survey, and those heretofore made by State
authority.”+ That list furnishes ninety-two species. In addition to
these, Professor Rominger enumerates seventy-five more. Thus the
results of the two geological surveys of Michigan are one hundred and
sixty-seven species. In other words, the whole State of Michigan has
furnished not far from two-thirds as many species as are found in our
few small quarries and neighboring exposures. Is it probable?

The same survey furnishes us with another equally pertinent illustra-
tion. <A family of corals, known as the Cyathophyllide, exists in the
Hamilton of Northern Michigan, at times in as wonderful state of per-
fection as when the /o/yf lived in its cell. In this locality the whole
internal cavity is filled with foreign material which cannot be removed
without injury to the structure, and yet on this internal portion, more
than any external character, the identification of this class of corals de-
pends. Of this one family of the Cyathophyllida, in its two members of

Cyathophyllum and Zaphrentis, Professor Rominger has noted and illus-
trated nine species, and Professor Winchell about six, making a sum
total of fifteen. This pamphlet credits our limited locality with thirty-
three— more than twice as many as are found in the whole State of
Michigan.

I pause for a moment over another feature of this pamphlet. It is
admitted that certain fossils not only have a wide range, but reappear
in successive formations. But it is an unheard of phenomenon, until
this pamphlet broached it, that, in any locality circumscribed as ours,
out of two hundred and forty-six species, one hundred and fifty-nine
are characteristic of the Corniferous limestone, and eighty-seven are
representatives of other and distant rocks. It reaches the proportion of
almost two-thirds of the whole number reported as found. Call the roll,
and Trenton responds, 1; Clinton, 3; Niagara, 14; Guelph, 1; Lower
Helderberg, 5; Onondaga, 3; Schoharie Grit, 7; Oriskany, 3; Cornifer-
ous, 159; Hamilton, 35; Tully, 2; Chemung, 2; Burlington, 1; Up-
per Helderberg, 2; Marcellus Shale, 2; 28 so unfortunate as to be un-
named.*

That such a heterogeneous assemblage should mass itself within the
compass of our few quarries is an anomaly having no parallel within
the range of geological investigation.

The identification of fossils is a work of acknowledged difficulty,
even with the best of facilities. In proportion as there is a deficiency
in authorities and means of comparison, especially if the fossils are in a
poor state of preservation, the difficulty is greatly enhanced. _ Illustra-
tions of this difficulty abound. One can scarce go amiss for them.

Professor White, of the Smithsonian Institution, gives two figures
of a certain coral so common that ninety-nine out of a hundred col-
lectors would not hesitate to name it. He declines either to de-
scribe or identify it, on the ground of the necessity of a thorough
revision of the fossil corals of our country, and the consequent doubt
that is naturally felt as to the correctness of specific determinations by
means of merely the external features. External characteristics, it is
true, will always remain valuable aids in the specific determination of
fossil corals; but in the present state of paleontological science one is
not justified in omitting microscopic and other details of internal

structure.
Professor Worthen, of the State Geological Survey of Illinois, thus
writes of a certain spirifer: “This shell seems closely allied to several

* Pamphlet, p. 19.

20 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

forms described by Professor Hall under other names, but not figured.
Until all these have been fully illustrated, it is impossible to make
detailed comparison without specimens of all these forms.” *

In the State of Michigan a particular shell abounded to such an ex-
tent that the rock containing it took its name from the shell. It was
known as the Zropidoleptus bed. Subsequently, Professor Winchell
writes: “The term Zyopidoleptus beds is changed to 4ryozea beds,
since the supposed Zropidoleptus proves to be a Strophodonta, an en-
tirely different species.” t

Professor Hall, of the State Geological Survey of New York, has
more than once claimed that other paleontologists had entirely mis-
understood his descriptions. They had not only failed to identify, but
out of fossils he had described they had made new genera as well as
species. In the twentieth report on the New York State Museum of
Natural History several pages are devoted to such controversy.

These are representative men — acknowledged authorities in all that
pertains to the science of paleontology. Was there ever a more uniform
testimony than that which is thus borne to the difficulty of determining
species?

Will not errors increase in proportion to our lack of these oppor-
tunities? With limited means, limited time, limited education, limited
experience, limited libraries, and limited cabinets of fossils, will not
our work show the effect of such limitation? Errors will and must
abound. Is this work of identifying two hundred and forty-six species
from our few quarries a perfect work? Is this pamphlet an excep-
tion to all other writings on paleontology?

I put in compact shape the points on which I have touched:

It is improbable that such a number of species should be found in
the Corniferous limestone of our vicinity, for these reasons:

First. Because of the character of the rock.

Second. Because of our very limited exposures.

Third. Because their occurrence in such numbers is against the ex-
perience of every other worker in our rocks.

Fourth. Because, in comparison, Cook’s quarry and vicinity are
made to furnish one and a half times as many species of fossils, and
twice as many of a certain species of coral, as have been discovered by
the two geological surveys of the State of Michigan.

* Geological Report of Illinois, Vol. III., p. 434.

7 Geological Report on the Grand Traverse Region, p. $4.

BARRIS—A DEFENSE OF OUR LOCAL GEOLOGY. 21

Fifth. Because the testimony of the most distinguished paleontol-
ogists of our day is that the difficulty of determining species is so great
that errors in identification abound under the most favorable circum-
stances.

This improbability accumulates with each consideration, till we do
not hesitate to say that, in our limited exposures of the Corniferous,
two hundred and forty-six species never have been, and never will be,
realized. In the list occurs the names of fossils that are not found
within five hundred miles from Davenport.

I have thus spoken of the paleontology as set forth in this pamphlet.
I pass to a consideration of its geology.

This pamphlet is as significant in what it leaves out as in what it puts
in. On page 19 we read: “No fossils have been published as having
been collected in the Corniferous or Upper Helderberg, in either of
these counties, in the Iowa or Illinois geological reports.” The infer-
ence is plain that, since the publication of those reports, no investiga-
tions have been carried on in the geology of our locality, except those
proclaimed in this pamphlet.

Some years since the Academy published papers on our local
geology, accompanied with illustrations and descriptions of new fossils.
We place side by side some of the statements made in those papers
and in this pamphlet —the likeness is suggestive :

Those papers first gave to the quarries below the city the name “Cor-
niferous.” This pamphlet says, “Corniferous.”

Those papers first divided the rock into two parts — the fossiliferous
and the non-fossiliferous. This pamphlet accepts such division.

Those papers first defined the extent of the fossiliferous portion.
This pamphlet recognizes the same boundaries.

Those papers stated that the Cathedral was built of the non-fossilifer-
ous rock found above the city, and Trinity Church of the fossiliferous
rock found below the city. This pamphlet says, “Churches and dwell-
ings are built of this stone.”

Those papers characterized the rock as most durable. This pam-
phlet says, “It shows no signs of disintegration after thirty years ex-
posure.”

Those papers first noted the frequent recurrence of large, cavernous
openings of greater or less extent. This pamphlet speaks of “numer-
ous large pot-holes excavated in the Corniferous limestone.”

Those papers stated that these cavities were filled with sand and
shale from the coal-measures. ‘This paper says “filled with arenaceous
shales of the coal-measures.”

22 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

One can scarcely tell which is which. He is reminded of the Siam-
ese twins, Chang and Eng, with only this difference, that the papers of
the Academy were born several years in advance of this pamphlet.
Indebted, as it is, to the Proceedings of the Academy for the facts pre-
sented, the conclusions reached, and adopting, to a great extent, its
very language, would not the commonest courtesy suggest an acknowl-
edgment of such indebtedness? Why no recognition of those papers?
Simply because to ignore the work done by the Academy would give
a certain notoriety to the pamphlet that would attract attention as
the only work done in our local geology since the publication of the
last geological surveys, to which the author of this pamphlet is plainly
indebted for much of what value it possesses, but which he chooses to
utterly ignore, instead of acknowledging his indebtedness thereto, as
simple justice demands.

It is folly thus to attempt to ignore the work done by the Academy.
In this, as well as all other departments of scientific research, it has
sought the truth for the truth’s sake. It has done good work in various
branches of scientific inquiry. It has made stable additions to the sum
total of exact science. It has gathered rich treasures of material and
intellectual wealth, and it proposes to care for and defend them. It
cannot afford to let this pamphlet go out as by a member of the Acad-
emy, without a protest against its scientific inaccuracy and its mislead-
ing inferences.

WATKINS —VOLCANOES OF THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. 23

VOLCANOES OF THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.

BY C. S. WATKINS.
Read before the Academy, May 28th, 1886.

THE newspapers announce that the lake of lava at the volcano of
Kilauea, Island of Hawaii, Sandwich Island group, has recently disap-
peared, leaving only a bottomless pit, where formerly, even in its quiet
times, a pool of liquid, molten, almost boiling lava, about seven hun-
dred yards in width, has been.

As I visited those regions in 1854, and noted some facts that seem
to bear upon this subject, and that I have never seen stated or referred
to by other visitors, it has occurred to me that, just now, a report of my
observations may not be out of place.

Preliminary.—The entire Sandwich Island group is very evidently
of volcanic origin, and of regular succession in order of creation. From
the extreme north-western end of the group to and including Hawaii
—the last of the cluster—a distance, in an almost straight line, of
about four hundred miles, in a nearly south-easterly direction, each suc-
cessive island is larger, the intervening distance between the centres is
greater, and the volcanic remains evidently of more recent origin than
at its immediate predecessor. In this rough statement the three or
four smaller islands near Maui are regarded as merely detached por-
tions of the main island.

The group begins at the north-western end with a nameless, uninhab-
ited, and almost submerged, nearly level island, the composition of
which is evidently the usual lava and cinder scoria resulting from
volcanic fires. In size the visible portion of this is scarcely a mile
in diameter. About ten miles south-east from this point is Nihau,
twelve miles in diameter, hilly, with lava rocks, but no traceable
volcanic cones or mounds. Twenty miles south-east, or nearly so,
is Kaui, the first inhabited island. Kaui is twenty miles long, ten
miles wide, and the hills and rocks testify very plainly to their volcanic
origin. ‘Thirty-five miles from Kaui, in the same continuous line, is
Oahu, twenty-five miles in diameter, and with unmistakable evidences
of much more recent creation. Honolulu, the capital city of the Ha-
waian kingdom, is on this island. Within a radius of five miles from
the city are at least seven volcanic mounts, one or two hundred feet
high, and with clearly defined craters in good preservation. Next, at
a distance of about fifty miles, is the island of Maui, on which is the

24 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

town of Lahaina, a seaport of considerable local commerce. Maui is
twenty miles in width and fifty miles in length, and, strictly described,
is really a union of two separate islands of nearly equal size with three
or four smaller islands—evidently offshoots—within a few miles. Here
‘the majestic, volcanic cone, Haleakala, ten thousand feet in height
and as clear-cut as if but lately made, is the leading feature. Although
a dozen or more of sub-volcanoes have had outbursts on its sides and
at its base, yet the symmetry of the original cone is unimpaired. Up
to, and including, this island, there are no active volcanoes; and even
the traditions of the natives have no allusion to such disturbances. In
fact, it is decidedly questionable if human life could have existed on any
of the islands thus far spoken of until so long after all volcanic action
had ceased thereon that the lava had become sufficiently decomposed
by the influences of “climate and time” to have formed a soil sufficient
for a permanent growth of vegetation.

Nearly one hundred miles from Maui, still south-east, is Hawaii,
the largest and, thus far, the final island of the group. Hawaii is
seventy-five to one hundred miles in diameter, very rocky and hilly,
and, until a few months, had the volcanic influences still active and
visible. On Hawaii are the old, extinct volcanoes, Hualalai, fourteen
thousand feet in height; Mauna Kea, sixteen thousand feet; and
Mauna Loa, seventeen thousand feet from the sea level to its summit.
These three are evidently of successive formation, and each is clearly
defined as if created in the present century. It may convey an idea of
the magnitude of one of these to state that the crater of Mauna Loa is
seven miles in diameter and one and a half miles in depth— large
enough to receive and conceal our Mt. Washington, if inverted, into
its cavity. No eruptions at either of these summits have occurred in
at least the past hundred years. The volcano of Kilauea, from which
all modern outbreaks have proceeded, is really a side issue of Mauna
Loa; and its crater, about one mile in diameter, is at an elevation of
nearly five thousand feet above the sea level. The lake of liquid lava
of which we read was about two thousand feet in diameter, and it was
from this source that all the eruptions of late years have proceeded.

And now, having given a rough-drawn and non-scientific outline de-
scription of these islands, I come to the feature which induced this
writing. Several years previous to my visit in 1854, captains of vessels
had, on repeated occasions, reported having passed through waters in
violent agitation, in calm weather, and had suggested that this agitation
was caused by a sub-marine volcanic eruption, active at the bottom of
the sea; and each of these reports located the disturbance as being

about five hundred miles south-east from Hawaii. It was also noticed
that, at about the dates thus mentioned, “tidal waves” of enormous
size and power washed both shores of the Pacific almost simulta-
neously, thus manifestly originating at a common central point, which,
as near as could be estimated, was not far from the region of the
above-reported sub-marine volcano.

The specific point to which, it seems to me, intelligent attention
might appropriately be directed, is as to whether the indications and
disturbances thus known during at least forty years, taken in consid-
eration with the recent disappearance of the lava lake at Kilauea, and
with the herein described formation system of the existing islands,
justify the suspicion that the Sandwich Island group may, at no distant
day, have an addition to its number. If so, it may then be of scientific
interest to have an accurate investigation of the points I have herein
called attention’to, as to the comparative and successive increase in size
and distance of each island. However, at this time I am only “placing
on file” this rough exhibit. Many years may pass before the subterra-
nean machinery will make another chapter of this history possible.

And now, in conclusion, while on this subject, I may state another
puzzling feature, though of a philosophical and speculative, rather than
of a scientific, character. I must, as a prelude, say that I was on the
Islands on a roving tour, about three months, and acquired quite a
mastery of. the simple language of the islanders (eighteen letters com-
pose their entire working alphabet), and thus got much information di-
rect from the natives. One story I found so unvaryingly told in all the
Islands that there can be no doubt as to its antiquity. It was this:
“The volcanic outbursts at Kilauea are caused by the ebullitions of
“wrath of the goddess Pele — the long, fine, grass-like substances thrown
“out at such times are ‘ Pele’s hairs,’ torn by the angry goddess from the
“heads of those of her subterranean subjects that she at such times gets
“her hands on. This goddess Pele was once a queen in Heaven, but,
“having got into a row with the head of the family, was, after a series of
“revolutionary conflicts, conquered and ignominiously banished to the
“lower regions, etc., etc.” Captain Cook found this tradition prevailing
at the time of his discovery of the Islands, and it is still firmly believed.
It really seems that John Milton’s patent on the central idea of Para-
dise Lost could be successfully contested by the king of the Sandwich
Islands as heir to the belongings of his Kanaka ancestors.

I have only to add that, writing from memory of the rambling obser-
vations made thirty-two years ago, I cannot aver that the directions
and dimensions herein given are closely accurate. The outline feat-
ures, however, as I have stated them, are unquestionably, in a general
way, correct.

HARFORDIA, Greene & Parry.
A New Genus of Eriogonez, from Lower California.
BY, Cy IC SPARRV:

Read before the Academy, Fuly goth, 1886.

WHI e the remarkable Eriogonous genus Pferostegia, Fisch. & Meyer,
has been long known among botanists in a very common California
species, P. drymarioides, F. & M., a second species from Lower Cali-
fornia, collected in one of the early voyages of discovery on the Pacific
coast, and described in “Botany of the Sulphur” as Pterostegia macro-
ptera, Benth., has been long a destderatum in scientific herbaria. Only
as late as 1882 additional material was procured by Mr. L. Belding
from near the original locality, and fragmentary specimens of the same
were contributed to the Gray Herbarium, at Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The year following a single fruiting branch was presented to the writer
by Gen. William Le Duc, who, attracted by the showy involucre, put
a fragment in his pocket-book while on a mining excursion down the
Lower California coast in the spring of 1883. In the spring of 1885,
Prof. E. I.. Greene, of the California Academy of Science, in his inter-
esting botanical trip down the Pacific coast as far as Guadaloupe and
Cedros Islands, secured ample specimens of what, on subsequent exam-
ination, he regarded as two distinct species, which were described by him
in Bulletin of the California Academy, IV., pp. 212, 213, as Prerostegia
galioides and P. fruticosa— not being aware at the time that the former
was identical with P. macroptera, Benth., which, according to the pub-
lished descriptions, represented only a low herbaceous plant. Unfor-
tunately, owing to the lateness of the season, Mr. Greene’s specimens
did not contain the characteristic flowers, his description of the floral
organs being derived only from the fallen fruit. Previously, however,
Mr. Greene, as Botanical Curator of the California Academy, had found
in Dr. Veatch’s collection of 1859, from Cedros Island, a single frag-
ment of one of the above species, so characteristic, as he afterwards
noticed, of the peculiar vegetation of that island. Before, however,
reaching the conclusion, from the data then in his possession, of includ-
ing these remarkable plants in the genus Pferostegia —so different in
habit and general character from the typical species — Mr. Greene inti-
mated a probability that more complete material, including the floral
organs, might justify the establishment of a new genus, for which he

suggested the name HARFORDIA, in compliment to the long-time effi-
cient Curator of the California Academy of Science, and for many
years previously a zealous collector of Pacific coast botany — Mr. G.
W. H. Harford. Now, at last, as one of the fruits of the present sea-
son’s (1886) collections, | have just received from my zealous corre-
spondent, C. R. Orcutt, of San Diego, lately returned from an exten-
sive and arduous land trip into the arid districts of Lower California,
complete flowering specimens of one of the species above referred to,
being identical with the Pterostegia macroptera, Benth.; P. galioides,
Greene. From the specimens thus obtained, a careful examination re-
veals such remarkable and unexpected floral characters, that, fully con-
firming the surmises of Mr. Greene, will require the establishment of a
new genus, which, in cordially carrying out his suggestions, I venture
herewith to characterize, viz. :

Harrorpia, Greene & Parry.

Dicecious! rarely moncecious; pistillate tlowers single, involucrate ;
involucre monophyllous, the folded edges forming a winged central
crest, laterally bilobed and gibbously bisaccate. accrescent in fruit,
hyaline and reticulated with deep red veins; staminate flowers without
involucre! in axillary clusters on an irregular axis, more or less pro-
longed; pedicels jointed at the summit. hispid below; perianth 6-parted,
stamens 6-9, in two rows, anthers oval; pistillate flowers persistent,
much shorter than the developed akene, 6-parted, with 9 staminodes
in two rows at the base; styles short, recurved, stigmas capitate; akene
smooth, oblong, acute narrowly winged; embryo axile, excentric, rad-
icle as long as the ovai cotyledons. Suffruticose or shrubby perennials,
with jointed stems, opposite connate leaves, dichotomously branched,
with irregular fasciculate leaves, and flowers in the upper axils. Differs
from Prerostegia in its perennial habit, its axile excentric embryo, and
from all known Eriogonee in its dicecious flowers. Confined in its
geographic range to the arid districts of Lower California, and adjacent
islands.— Prerostegia, Benth. & Hook., Gen., Pl. III., p. 94, in part.

Two species, viz. :

1. H. MACROPTERA.— FPrerostegia macroptera, Benth., 1. c.—P. gali-
oides, Greene, l. c.

Suffruticose, diffusely branched from a thick ligneous axis, hoary with
appressed pubescence, branches slender, jointed, with swollen nodes
at the junction of the opposite connate sessile leaves; leaves entire

thickish, narrowly spathulate, one-fourth to one-half inch in length;
involucre broadly bilobed, and conspicuously inflated on each side,
hyaline with deep red reticulations; staminate flowers axillary, on a
more or less prolonged axis, without bracts, except an irregular ciliate
tuft at the base of the pedicels; perianth short-campanulate, deeply
6-cleft, segments nearly equal; stamens 9, in two rows, at the base,
with occasional traces of undeveloped ovaries; pistillate flowers shorter,
persistent, and adhering to the developed akenes, 6-parted, with two
rows of pedicellate staminodes at the base; akene and embryo as
above noted.

Habitat.— Lower California, from San Quentin to Magdalena Bay,
flowering early in the season; staminate plants more diffuse, with
shorter joints and less prolonged branches. Mr. Orcutt’s specimens,
No. 1374, April 17th, 1886, from San Telmo, show all the peculiar char-
acters of this species.

2. H. rruticosa, Greene, ined.— Prerostegia fruticosa, Greene, |. c.
(Copied from Mr. Greene's original description, Bull. Cal. Acad., IV.,
Pp 212, 253.)

“Shrubby, diffusely branched, firmly erect, 2—4 feet high, densely
leafy; branchlets short-jointed, tomentulose at the joints; leaves gla-
brate, fleshy, obovate-spathulate, entire obtuse or retuse, 2—5 lines
long; involucre firm-hyaline, reddish, with darker reticulate veins, 5-7
lines long, deeply cleft into two entire reniform lobes; wings reniform,
entire unequal; akene ovate, lanceolate two lines long, sharply tri-
quetrous; perianth a half line long, persistent.”

Ffabitat.— Cedros Island: Dr. Veatch, 1859; E. L. Greene, May,
1885. Not feeling at liberty to modify Mr. Greene’s original specific
description in referring it to his proposed new genus, it is only neces-
sary to add that, in the absence of staminate flowers, it can only be
provisionally attached to this genus by its close similarity to the pre-
ceding species till confirmed by complete specimens.

CHAPMAN—AN ANCIENT MINE IN ARKANSAS. 29

AN ANCIENT MINE IN ARKANSAS.
BY WM. A. CHAPMAN.

Read before the Academy, May 28th, 1886.

In the spring of 1884, while engaged in prospecting for minerals over
the southern portions of Polk County, Arkansas, my attention was
directed to an excavation, supposed by those who now reside in that
locality to have been the work of Spanish miners, who, local traditions
state, were once actively engaged in the exploration of this State for
gold and other precious metals. My curiosity regarding this so-called
Spanish mine being aroused, I decided upon a visit to it, in order to
determine, if possible, who the miners were and what had been the ob-
ject of their labor. After going about two miles north-west of Hatton
post-office, I came to a spur-like appendage of the mountain, which,
jutting out from the main range, formed one side of a narrow, gorge-like
valley, through which, in times past, a stream of considerable size had
wound its way. Through the erosion of water, a part of this hill had
been removed, in such manner as to give to one facing the opening the
impression:that the dip of the exposed strata was in two directions. It
was evident that this face of the hill had once been an overhanging
cliff, with all the members of the series of rocks entering into its struct-
ure fully exposed; but the falling of the overhanging mass and the ac-
cumulation of rubbish from the mine have in a measure restored the
base, and now conceal the greater part of the strata from view. The
strata open to inspection — some twenty feet — are metamorphic sand-
stones, ranging in hardness from a soft, friable, amorphous sandstone
to that of a quartzose rock of crystalline structure, suitable for, mill-
stones. These form the mass of the exposed strata. Above them are
others which have distinct cleavage lines at right angles to each other,
and which, under atmospheric influences, display a tendency to part
along the cleavage lines. Interstratified with these are irregular masses
of hornblende and a white, close-textured rock resembling novaculite.
The thickness of the strata varies from two to twenty-six inches. The
strike of the series is 10 degrees north of east; the dip, northward at
an angle of 45 degrees.

The mining operations had been confined to the removal of a single
stratum — the lowest of those open to inspection — portions of which

30 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

had been left at short intervals as supports to the rock above. The
opening to the mine began at a point about twenty feet below the
summit of the hill, and extended from thence diagonally downward for
a distance of forty feet. A superficial examination convinced me that
iron tools had not been employed in the removal of the rock, and hence
it seemed exceedingly improbable that the opening before me was the
result of European labor. Believing the discovery to be of some im-
portance from an archeological point of view, I proceeded to make a
thorough examination of the excavation, a task rendered comparatively
easy, as the greater part of the debris had been removed a short time
prior to my visit by a person who was in search of silver ores.* Pro-
vided with a candle and a slender pole, I descended into the opening,
which is about two feet in width, and found that for a depth of eight
feet no effort had been made to enlarge the opening by the removal of
either of the adjacent strata, both of which are exceedingly hard and
quartz-like in structure. The miners, at this point, had ceased to drift
upward along the strata, and had commenced the sinking of a narrow
shaft. After removing the rubbish from this shaft, its depth was found
to be less than five feet. Evidently, the intention of the miners, in
sinking this shallow shaft, had been the formation of a face or breast in
the rock, to serve as a starting-point from which they might tunnel in
an opposite direction to that pursued in the drift above, for, opening
out from the bottom of this shaft, was a low passage leading down and
under the mountain. After carefully exploring as much of this passage
as was within reach of my pole, I proceeded to enter, but, in order to
do so, was obliged to go upon all fours. Crawling in this manner for
some four or five feet, the passage was found to increase in height to
such an extent that an upright position would have been possible, had
it not been for the incline of the strata and the narrowness of the pass-
age. ‘The descent here was at a sharp incline, and had been accom-
plished by means of shelf-like offsets cut into the rock. ‘Traces of fire
were plainly visible in and upon the rock at the entrance to the tunnel,
and the smoke-blackened walls were so seamed and checked by cracks
and crevices as to demonstrate the alternate use, by the miners, of both
fire and water in their efforts at breaking down the rock. A further
search revealed the mineral destderata of the miners. ‘The soft, friable
sandstone, to the removal of which the miners had confined their efforts,

*The alterations effected by that individual, in the appearance of the mine, were of no im-
portance, inasmuch as they were confined to the surface and related entirely to the removal and
replacement of a part of the stone supports by others of wood.

proved to be the vein-stone. In it were pockets or cavities filled with
a black and a red mineral substance, both pulverulent in form. De-
scending a few steps farther, my progress was arrested by a large rattle-
snake, which I left unmolested in full possession of the lower depths of
the mine and the treasures it might contain, and hastily made my way
upwards. The black mineral substance proved, upon subjecting it to
a qualitative test, to be sesquioxide of iron, with traces of manganese.
That these minerals, in the form here found, were those sought for by
the miners is evident, as in the near vicinity of the mine are large quan-
tities, exposed, of hematite, limonite, pyrolusite, and psilomelane, which
could have been secured at a far less expenditure of labor. That these
minerals were of great importance in the domestic economy of the
mining people is none the less evident in view of the excessive labor
and hardships undergone in its acquisition.

The peculiar method of mining, together with the absence of those
markings which would inevitably have followed the use of iron tools,
demonstrate that the work was not that of civilized man. Neither wiil
those who are conversant with the characteristics of Indian peoples
(applying the term in its generally accepted sense) admit that the ex-
cavation was the result of their labor. That the labor was that of some
aboriginal people is most evident, and that they were of those whom
we know of as Mound-builders is exceedingly probable, inasmuch as
there are, within a few miles of the mine, abundant traces of the
presence of that people in times past. To these evidences, which
seem to designate the Mound-builders as the miners, has been added
the following data, obtained while exploring a mound some eight miles
distant from the mine. This mound was apparently of very recent
origin. (Sketches of it, with such data as I succeeded in collecting,
and some of the relics found in it and in the mine, were forwarded by
me to the Smithsonian Institution.) In construction it differed mate-
rially from all I had heretofore seen. In it, among other relics, were
fragments of pottery of a purple-black color. A portion of this color-
ing matter, when subjected to a qualitative examination, gave results
precisely the same as those derived through the analysis of the mineral
procured from the mine. ‘The only difference in the two substances I
was able to detect, through means then at my command, was the pres-
ence of carbonate of calcium, magnesia, and alumina in the coloring
matter of the pottery. The presence of these substances, however, is
easily accounted for, as, in the endeavor to procure a sufficient quan-
tity of the coloring matter of the pottery for analysis, portions of the

32 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

pottery itself were unavoidably included. ‘Those three substances, with
silica, are the ingredients of the material used in the manufacture of
the pottery —the first two (carbonate of lime and magnesia) in the
form of pulverized shells. From the foregoing it would seem that the
mineral procured from the mine had been utilized (in part, at least) as
a pigment.

Future explorations in the ancient mines and in the numerous
mounds of this State will, no doubt, give much additional light upon
this and other matters relating thereto; and from the success which
has attended the efforts of those engaged in such explorations here, it
is by no means improbable that when these extensive and, as yet,
almost unexplored fields of research are entered by those whose means
will permit them to diligently and systematically prosecute this branch
of scientific research, Arkansas will, in their hands, prove fruitful in
the yielding of invaluable and, perhaps, unexpected results having an
important bearing upon the elucidation of the history of the Mound-
builders.

Hydrobia texana, sp. nov.
(Plate IIT., Figs. 1-6.)

SHELL small, conically elevated, rather acute, thin; whorls five to
six, convex, lightly striate transversely, with numerous coarse, irreg-
ular, revolving striz, becoming less distinct on body-whorl; sutures
well impressed ; aperture ovate, somewhat angled posteriorly, rounded
before; peritreme simple, acute, not sinuous, adherent to body-whorl.
sub-reflexed at the narrow but well-defined umbilicus. Epidermis
dull greenish-brown or gray; operculum ovate, sub-spiral, corneous,
closely fitting the aperture, with coarse wrinkles radiating from inner
margins of whorls; polar point close to columella. The measure-
ments of three specimens are as follows:

Habitat.— Guadalupe River and its tributary, Comal Creek, Comal
County, Texas.

The spiral striz are irregularly developed, the upper ones being
most constant. On some specimens there is a more prominent,
slightly nodose, revolving line above the periphery. Specimens may
be seen in the collections of the Davenport Academy of Natural
Sciences, the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences, and of the writer.
The revolving sculpture at once distinguishes this species from the
flydrobia seemani of Frauenfeld,* which it resembles somewhat in
outline. A comparison with Frauenfeld’s figure shows the Texan
shells to be of slightly stouter form. It is quite distinct from other
described American species. The specimens were found on the
under side of stones in rapidly flowing water. Its associates in Comal
Creek are Gontobasis pleuristriatus Say, G. comalensis, sp. nov., and
an undetermined Amnicola.

This species is placed in Hydrobia because I do not know what
other disposition to make of it. It is, perhaps, congeneric with such
species as Ammnicola floridana Frauenfeld,* which has a more acute
apex than Bythinella, and is slenderer than Amnicola.

Note on Pyrgulopsis spinosus Call & Pilsbry.

I find that this species has no affinity with the other shells in-
cluded under Pyrgelopsis. Its position seems to be in Potamopyrgus
or in an as yet undefined genus. Pyrgulopsis C. & P. is, perhaps, in
characters of shell, not separable from Lyrodes of Doering, the
description of which I had not seen at the time Pyrgulopsis was pro-
posed. A thorough examination of the anatomy of these snails, and
comparisons with that of Pyrguda s. s., must be made before the true
value of all these groups can be determined. ‘To facilitate compari-
sons by those who do not have access to the publications containing
Mr. Doering’s papers on mollusca, I copy here his diagnosis of

PARRY — LASTARRIEA. 35

LASTARRIALA, Remy.
Confirmation of the Genus, with Character Extended.
BY GC. CGC) PARRY.

Read before the Academy, October 29th, 1586.

As LonG as the Eriogonous genus Zastarri@a, Remy., of the Pacific
coast of North and South America remained monotypic, and exhibited
several apparently anomalous and puzzling characters, it seemed nat-
ural, and perhaps excusable, to endeavor to reduce it to systematic
arrangement, even by a somewhat forced and obscure construction.
Accordingly, the writer, in a recently published memoir on Chorizanthe
(Proc. Dav. Acad. Nat. Sci., Vol. IV., pp. 45-63), on a careful exam-
ination of all the material then at his command, adopted, and has since
maintained, the view that the floral organ representing the perianth of
previous authors, presenting some of the external characters of a Chori-
zanthoid involucre, was actually such, and that the perianth proper was
in this case reduced to an obscure lobed ring, adnate to the involucre,
on which the stamens were inserted —thus merging the genus into
Chorizanthe, as C. Lastarrica.

On receiving, lately, from my esteemed correspondent, Prof. Fred-
rico Philippi, of Santiago, Chili, S. A., a nearly complete set of Chilian
Chorizanthes — including, with the original, two new species of Lastar-
ri#a—a reconsideration of the whole subject was naturally brought
up, leading to the following important results:

While the two new species indicated by Professor Philippi conform
closely to the published generic character, they do not sustain the
views adopted in the paper above referred to; at the same time the
specific differences bring more clearly to light other characters, hereto-
fore obscure, which removes at once the most anomalous features of
the genus as before understood, exhibiting a clearly defined involucre,
enclosing the proper perianth! ‘Thus the five subtending cauline bracts,
which in the well known species Z. Chi/ensis seem united in a single
whorl, in the new species, Z. s¢ricfa, Philippi, show a clearly defined
double series, including two outer, subtending each dichotomous branch,
and comprising the ordinary cauline bracts; three inner, more closely
united at base, enclosing a perianth, and therefore representing a
proper involucre, not unlike that of Chorizanthe, polygonoides. In fol-
lowing this clue, it is not difficult to see even in the closely blended

30 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

bracts of Z. Chilensis also a double series, only obscured by the close
similarity of the separate segments.

It thus appears that the suggestion of Professor Gray, contained ina
notice of Xantus’ plants, as early as 1860, stating that “the verticillate
upper leaves of Zastarriza answer to the involucre, which however
encloses a proliferous shoot as well as a flower,” contains at least half
the truth; also the lately published remark of Mrs. Curran (Bull. Cal.
Acad., No. V., p. 2,) that “the enclosing bracts of Zastarriea have as
much right to the rank of an involucre as those of Oxytheca, /uteola,”
may, with the explanation now given, be accepted as nearer the truth
than the previous theory of the present writer. With the facts thus
brought to light by the interesting discoveries of Professor Philippi, the
genus Zastarriwa, Remy., may be more clearly defined as follows, viz. :

LASTARRIZA, Remy.—Chorizanthe Lastarricea, Parry, l. c.

Involucre triphyllous, united at base, segments unequal, more or less
thickened and cuspidate-uncinate, closely sessile in the axil of oppo-
site cauline bracts subtending the dichotomous branches and terminal
shoots; perianth triangular, coriaceous, 5—6 parted, segments uncinate
(resembling the involucre of Chorizanthe) ; stamens 3, inserted on the
throat, filaments short, anthers oval; styles short, recurved; akene tri-
angular, embryo straight, with linear cotyledons, and short radicle.

Slender jointed annuals of the Pacific coast of North and South
America; differing from Chorizanthe only in its 3-bracteate involucre,
and its coriaceous, uncinately awned perianth; nearest to Sect. Acan-
thogonum, but differs in its straight embryo.

Three’? Species:

rt. L. CHILENsIs, Remy.— Chorizanthe Lastarrica, Parry, |. c.

Involucral whorls closely adherent, and similar to the external cau-
line bracts; perianth sharply triangular, coriaceous, segments unequal,
with prolonged uncinate awns.

ffabitat.— Pacific coast of North and South America.

2. L. srricra, Philippi, ined.

Involucral whorls distinet from the outer cauline bracts, segments
broadly oval, retuse, thick-fleshy corrugated, with a prominent keel
terminating in a short recurved cusp; perianth membranaceous, seg-
ments nearly equal, spathulate, and shortly uncinate.

FHabitat.— Coquimbo, Chili, S. A. Professor Philippi, 1885.

MOUND EXPLORATIONS AT TOOLESBORO, IOWA. 250

MOUND EXPLORATIONS AT TOOLESBORO,
LOUISA COUNTY, IOWA.

Read before the Academy, August 2d, 1886.

Tue village of Toolesboro, locally noted for its prehistoric mounds,
is situated on a commanding bluff, about two and a half miles above
the mouth of the Iowa River, which empties into the Mississippi fifty-
two miles below Davenport.

A party from this Academy had opened some mounds here in 1875,
obtaining from them a number of interesting relics (see Proc. Day.
Acad. Nat. Sci., Vol. I., p. 106); but, as several of the group re-
mained unexplored, we decided to make another expedition, devoting
a week to the trip and the work. Accordingly, on Saturday, July
24th, we started by skiff, carrying camp equipage, etc., and were on
hand, ready for work, Monday morning.

The bluff at this point rises two hundred and ten feet above the Mis-
sissippi level, and commands a most magnificent view up and down
and across the broad valley common to the two rivers. Extending
along its brow, through the north-western outskirts of the village, is a
row of nine* large mounds, from fifty to three hundred feet apart, some
of which, as stated, had been more or less thoroughly explored —one
of them (No. 6) having been entirely removed by Mr. Pratt and his
party, leaving the earth piled up on either side marking its former
location.

After a careful survey of the group, and having obtained free per-
mission from Mr. G. H. Mosier to open such as were on his land, we
decided to first make a thorough exploration of No. 7, a mound of
symmetrical outline, and one of the largest in the row. Accordingly,
we had our camp outfit hauled up from the river, and pitched our tent
hard by on the site of Mound No. 6.

In outline, but for some erosion at the brow of the bluff on the
north, Mound No. 7 is almost a perfect circle, with a present diameter
of about eighty-five feet, and a height, from summit to floor, of just
ten feet; but, as it has been cultivated over for many years, it was
probably much higher originally than now, with a diameter propor-
tionately less.

*In the report of the former expedition the number is given as twelve, but we could only
make out nine at the time of this visit.

Owing to a iong-continued drought, the surface earth was very dry
and hard, requiring a pick to facilitate its removal, and even after
penetrating the crust the digging was by no means easy; but, apply-
ing ourselves to the task, we proceeded to open a trench four feet
wide by eighteen feet long, extending across the apparent center in a
direction approximately north and south. The earth composing the
mound is a stiff clay loam, for the most part homogeneous, but with
some scattered patches of a purer clay, and a thin layer of the same,
of varying thickness, which, about five feet below the surface, appeared
plainly, in section, on the hard perpendicular walls of the trench at its
northern end. Farther down, the earth became somewhat darker, as
of loam with a less admixture of clay, until, at a depth of ten feet, we
came upon a perfectly well-defined floor, consisting of a layer of light-
yellow, sandy clay, about three inches thick, resting on the original
subsoil of compact pure clay. i

Thus far, no bones or other deposits had been found, save a mass of
rotten wood, the crumbling remains of what were, apparently, decayed
oak logs, which, about half way down and just north of the middle of
the trench, extended across and beyond it on either side, slanting down
toward the south, while just beneath them the clay stratum above men-
tioned dipped and disappeared.

The fact that in most of the mounds of this group decayed oak wood
in considerable quantities is found, was mentioned by Mr. Pratt in his
report of the previous expedition.

For convenience in throwing out the earth, about six feet of the
south end of the trench was at first but partially excavated, leaving a
temporary bench, and we proceeded to run transverse, arched galleries,
at the level of the floor, from the excavated part. These galleries were
from three to four feet wide and about four feet high, their arched
shape, together with the stiffness of their walls, making this method of
procedure comparatively safe. Nine galleries in all were dug, besides
numerous pockets and connecting passages, laying bare about five
hundred square feet of the base. In patches covering much of
the floor, to the south of the apparent center of the mound, was
a thin layer of a whitish ash, above which were several alternating
layers of a darker ash and soft earth, of varying thickness; and just
above these again, as seen plainly in section throughout the galleries
to the east and south, a continuous layer of rotten wood, as of logs
irregularly laid on after the mound had been built up about four feet.
This log covering, where present, dipped quite regularly outward, as it
would naturally do, following the curvature of the mound. Above

these lower layers, whether wood intervened or not, the superincum-
bent earth was very compact, there being no appearance whatever of
the mound ever having been disturbed.

Such was the structure of the mound in its southern part; but in the
northern end of the trench and the galleries radiating from it, neither
wood nor ash was found, nor any other evidence of the agency of man
(except, perhaps, the distinct clay layer above mentioned), save a
continuation of the floor, scattered over which, in greater number
_here than elsewhere, were occasional small flint chips, raising our hopes
of discovery when the spade would strike against them. Throughout
the work in this mound, no shells or fragments of shell were seen,
excepting the beads hereinafter mentioned, unless, indeed, a layer of
what seemed an especially white ash, in contact with the decayed
wood, above and below, were burned or decomposed shells instead, as
suggested in the description of Mound No. 6 (Proc., Vol. I., p. 107).
If of ash, as they probably were, they must have been placed there
after burning, since the wood shows no trace of the action of fire.
Indeed, save one or two minute bits, no charcoal was anywhere found
in the mound. Not a single shard of pottery was seen, nor even a
stone of any size, and only a very few pebbles, small and rough, scat-
tered through.

Almost immediately on starting the first gallery west, about midway
of the trench and two feet above its floor, we came upon a mass of
human bones, consisting of two femurs, a clavicle, and several bones
of the left arm, forearm, and hand, all in a heap, and with them a small
piece (the only one found) of worked flint. How they came to be
there, placed and dissociated as they were, we could not conjecture.
There was no appearance of the earth having been disturbed above
them, and their state of preservation was much the same as that of the
corresponding parts of the entire skeletons afterward found.

Nothing further was discovered until we had tunneled several feet
back from the trench, where, following the thin layer of ash—here con-
tinuous and quite distinct on the level floor—and just after making a
turn to the south, we struck on a so-called copper “awl,” standing up-
right and firmly embedded in the hard clay base. About two feet be-
yond this we came upon the first of a rich group of relics, viz: four
copper “axes,” so-called; two curved-base pipes — one of calcite, trans-
lucent, with cylindrical bowl, and one of catlinite, finely carved in the
image of a hawk, with eyes of pearl;* a large block of mica in loose

* A similar bird pipe, with pearls for eyes, was taken from Mound No. 6 in this group by
Mr. Pratt’s party, in 1875. (See Proc. Dav. Acad. Nat. Sci., Vol. I., p. 108.)

40 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

flakes; another awl, and a crushed human skull (the entire skeleton
being afterward found in place), from beneath which one of the axes,
completely wrapped in a crumbling covering of cloth and bark impreg-
nated with copper carbonate, was taken.

Continuing the excavation, another copper axe was found near the
left shoulder of the skeleton, and a large quantity of beads, both of
pearl and shell, dull and fragile, in the region of the neck and chest.

Having removed the remaining earth from the trench, another cross-
gallery was now started just at its southern end, and in the western
branch of this gallery we very soon came upon the body of the skele-
ton to which the skull before found belonged. It was the skeleton of
an adult male, lying extended, face up, with the head to the north-west.

Close by the right side, and with its head on a level with the shoul-
der of the larger skeleton, was that of a child of perhaps ten years, its
lower maxilla showing the rudimentary permanent teeth under some of
the milk teeth which were still in their sockets, while the wisdom teeth
had not been erupted. Just beyond the child’s skeleton was found a
third copper awl, and the floor of the mound here rose quite abruptly
about ten inches, like the side of a basin, while it sloped considerably
under the bodies toward their feet.

As the south abutment at the entrance of the last arch constructed
rested directly upon the thighs and knees of the larger skeleton, these
parts were, of necessity, left for the time undisturbed, and a gallery was
run southward from the end of the trench, where we soon came upon
the feet in place, about which and the legs were more shell beads.
Below the feet from eighteen to thirty-six inches, and about two feet
apart, was a row of three more copper awls, making a total of six of
these pins, five of which were upright when found, piercing the floor,
above which they projected one or two inches. They are from four to
seven inches in length, about one-eighth of an inch through, hammered
square, except at the pointed lower end, and turned abruptly over at
the top, being similar to those shown in Figs. 1 and 5, Pl. VI., Vol. L.,
Proc. Dav. Acad. Nat. Sci. The suggestion made by one of our party,
that they might have been used to pin down a covering of skins or cloth
placed reverently over the bodies of the dead, seems plausible in view
of their relation to the skeletons and the floor.

Beyond the feet of the bodies we dug for some distance into the side
of the last gallery, till there, also, the floor began to rise, as it had at
their right and, less markedly, at some distance above their heads be-

yond the grouped relics, forming, as it were, part of the rim of a dish

bounding our work toward the south, on whose inner slope the two
bodies lay.

Deeming it useless to proceed further in this quarter, we abandoned
the southern part of the mound, cutting away the supporting pillars
behind us, thus completing the exposure of almost the entire floor of
this section, and afterward filling in with the loose earth which had ac-
cumulated in the north half of the trench.

The floor at this end being again laid bare, we proceeded as before,
tunneling under for eight or ten feet at its sides and end, finding no
indications, however, of another burial — finding nothing, indeed, but a
continuation of the level floor toward the bluff, which, so far as we fol-
lowed it, showed no rim_like rise to the north corresponding to that on
the opposite side.

As we had devoted most of our available time to this mound, and
there were no indications to encourage further research, we decided to
quit work here, and replaced the earth in and over the trench, leaving
the contour of the mound but little disturbed.

Had the initial trench been extended a few feet further south, and
carried down at once at this end, to the floor, we would have come
directly upon the skeletons and the relics accompanying them; but a
better insight into the structure of the mound and a fuller assurance
that nothing of interest was left undiscovered, well repaid the addi-
tional toil.

In addition to the work done on Mound No. 7, we made a partial
examination of No. 8, situated some two hundred feet further west, and
also of a small mound about half a mile south-east of the village. No.
8 is probably the largest of its group. In the early settlement of the
region it had been utilized as a building site, a large depression to the
south of the center indicating where the cellar had been. Due allow-
ance for the leveling effects of time under the circumstances of its oc-
cupancy, leaves for the mound a diameter of one hundred and forty
feet and an altitude of eleven.

To the south of the center, partially in the cellar depression, and ex-
tending in a north-easterly direction, we opened a trench three and a
half feet wide and sixteen feet long. In the trench, at a depth of about
nine feet, we came upon the floor, which was simply a layer of yellow
clay about a half inch in thickness, resting on black loam, doubtless
the original surface soil. Immediately above the clay, also, was the
same black loam, the interior of the mound being here moist and sod-
den by reason of the depressed excavation. In the trench, resting on
the floor and covered by loam, we found parts of four skeletons, much

[Proo. D. A. N.8., Vol. V.] 6 [August 25, 1887 ]

42 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

decomposed; but associated with them were no relics of any de-
scription. This absence of all deposits other than bones, together with
the slight pains which had evidently been taken with the floor, gave the
impression that, although the largest in the group, this mound had
served for the more ordinary burials, or that perhaps the part we were
at work in was simply an addition to an older mound.

With this thought we ran a tunnel eighteen feet long from the north-
eastern extremity of the trench in a westerly direction toward the
highest part of the mound. Here, the layer of clay having disappeared,
we started a tunnel due south, being encouraged to hope for greater
developments in this direction by reason of a thickening of the floor.
In about three feet, however, it again disappeared, and we gave up the
work, regretting the want of time which prevented us from exploring
other parts of this mound, for we felt that so large a structure might
well contain further deposits.

In addition to these two mounds of the principal group, a short time
was devoted to exploring one of a group on the other side of the vil-
lage, back from the brow of the bluff, which had been partially ex-
cavated by Mr. Daniel Hindman, a young man residing in the place,
some six years before. Work at that time had been suspended because
of the interfering roots of a tree which he had not permission to remove,
but not before a pipe and part of a skeleton had been found. This
mound is about thirty feet in diameter and three feet high. We merely
enlarged the old excavation, and in so doing came upon the. greater
part of a skeleton, and on the same level (we could trace no definite
floor), about a foot to the right of the skeleton, we found two earthen
vessels, one near the head and the other opposite the middle of the
body. Both were turned on their sides and badly crushed, the one
near the head being filled with ashes and earth. At a point about a
foot above the head, the pick crushed through a large piece of mica,
and a chunk of obsidian weighing two pounds was found on a level
with the skeleton at, approximately, the center of the mound.

On the morning of Friday, the 3oth, it being impossible to remain
longer, we struck our tent, reloaded our skiff, and rowed across the
Mississippi to New Boston, where, in a few hours, we were fortunate
enough to obtain passage for ourselves and boat on the “Pittsburg,”

upward bound.

ADDITIONAL EXPLORATIONS AT TOOLESBORO.

Read before the Academy, November 27th, 1886.

Havinec, by the courtesy of Mrs. E. H. Mallory, of ‘Toolesboro,
Louisa County, received permission to explore one of the remaining |
undisturbed mounds of the group, and which is situated on her land,
the undersigned visited that place on the 18th of October for that pur-
pose. We found the mound—No. 5 of that group —situated in a
garden where the ground has been cultivated for many years, until the
height of the mound has been reduced to an extent which cannot now
be determined. Judging from the others of the same group which
have not been so changed in proportions, it must probably have been
from eight to ten feet high.

Securing some laborers to assist in the work, we began by opening
a trench, about five by eighteen feet, near the south side of the mound,
and running east and west. The soil of which it was composed was a
mixed earth such as is usually met with, very hard, and containing here
and there minute bits of charcoal. At the depth of four feet four
inches, we came upon an evenly spread layer of quite clean yellow
clay, from half an inch to an inch in thickness. This was evidently an
artificial deposit placed upon the surface after removing the soil, which
in that locality is very thin, and is slightly below the level of the sur-
rounding surface of the field. We dug down below it in several places,
but found only the natural, undisturbed earth.

Finding no human remains or relics thus far, we cut down another
five feet in width along the north side of the excavation already men-
tioned. In this, about half-way down, we found a small rough chert
knife or scraper. In this cut, at the bottom, at the west end, were a
few human bones, not very well preserved; from which, however, we
secured one skull in tolerably good condition, and the frontal bone of
another of remarkably low, flat, brutal form. With these bones was
the shell of a turtle, broken into many and small pieces, showing, how-
ever, that it had been sculptured to some extent, though it was in so
small fragments that the design of the cuttings could not be made out.
This excavation was extended farther west and south, entirely beyond
all indications of remains of any kind. At the bottom of this excava-
tion, and about at the middle of the mound, we found a very finely
carved, smooth and symmetrical curved-base pipe, with plain, round

44 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

bowl, made of gray pipestone. There were no bones or other remains
near it.

We next cut down another slice along the north side of the former,
five or six feet wide and about twenty-five feet in length. In this we
went to the clay layer at bottom without making any discoveries what-
ever. At the east end, however, we found that the said layer of clay
stopped at a sharp line running diagonally across. Digging down into
the space not covered with the clay, we found that a “grave” or
excavation had been dug there to the depth of twenty inches, when
we again came down to the natural, undisturbed clay. At the bottom
of this, lying along the south-west side of the pit, and with the head
to the north-west, was a very much decayed adult skeleton, and mixed
up with the bones of the trunk were a few of the bones of a child.

In order to uncover this pit entirely, we made a still further cut
northward, thus exposing, in all, some twenty-five feet square of the
floor of the mound. On removing the earth entirely from this deeper
burial-place, we found another skeleton lying at right angles with the
first, along the north-west side of the pit, and were greatly disappointed
at finding associated with the bones in this portion, which seemed to
have been prepared with especial care, no relics of any kind whatever.
This pit was of irregular form, measuring eight feet along the south-
west side, seven feet on the north-west, and the other sides six and five
feet respectively.

This mound, though nearly of the same size of the others of the same
group, is remarkable for the entire absence of copper relics, beads,
marine shells, pottery, mica, obsidian, galena, and flint, bone, and horn
implements (except the scraper above mentioned).

Mr. G. H. Mosier and Mr. Hannibal Parsons were very kind and
courteous, and both gave us full privilege to explore any mounds we
might find on their property. We opened one supposed mound on the
land of each, but finding no encouragement or indications of relics or

of work of human hands, abandoned them.

SIMPSON — CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MOLLUSCA OF FLORIDA. 45

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MOLLUSCA OF
FLORIDA.

BY CHARLES T. SIMPSON.

Read before the Academy, December 31st, 1886.

INTRODUCTORY.

Tue following pages are chiefly the result of the collections made
during a four years’ residence near Braidentown, on the west coast of
Florida. No pretensions are made to its being a complete list, as it
comprises, for the most part, only such species as were collected by
the author, and those received from reliable collectors from within the
limits of the State. It was my intention, while residing in Florida, to
at some time publish a complete catalogue of all the species of mol-
lusca belonging to the State, and, with that intention in view, I had
planned an extensive cruise last winter down the west coast, up the
Caloosahatchee to Lake Okeechobee, the South-eastern Keys, and up
along the east coast of the mainland; but unforeseen circumstances
compelled me to leave the State, and completely changed my plans.
This fact, the lack of literature on the subject, the terrible confusion
that exists in the nomenclature and synonymy of Floridan and West
Indian shells, together with the fact that there are but few resident
conchologists in the State, and that but little material can be obtained
unless by actually collecting it, have led me to abandon the project
and to substitute, instead, a catalogue of my own collections, with
notes and observations made while actually in the field.

In the listing of these shells I have been particularly careful as to
locality, knowing that our knowledge of geographical distribution de-
pends wholly upon the accuracy of collectors in this direction. An
excellent memory in this respect, the careful labeling of specimens,
and notes taken while collecting, have rendered the statements of
locality given tolerably accurate.

Where shells were found more or less throughout a wide area, I have
often marked them “ West Coast,” meaning that they were found at
many points along the west coast of the State; or, “Florida Keys,”
alluding to species common to the lower chain of Keys, and not to
those of the western coast.

46 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

With regard to the distribution of the mollusca of Florida, my expe-
rience has given the following results:

First — On the west coast the marine shells consist of a number of
Atlantic coast forms, a few species peculiar to the south-east coast of
the United States, and a very large number of West Indian shells.
From the vicinity of Tampa Bay to the extreme point of Cape Sable, I
found but little change in the species. Such shells as Strombus pugilis,
the Fulgurs, Pyrula papyracea, the Fasciolarias, Melongena corona,
Natica duplicata, Oliva literata, Nassa vibex, Littorina angulifera and
irrorata, and Crepidula fornicata, among the Gasteropods, and Ostrea
virginica, Venus mortoni, Loripes edentula, Mactra similis, Donax
variabilis, Cytherea gigantea, Cardium magnum, several species of
Mytilus and Modiola, and the Pinnas seminuda and muricata, among
bivalves, are characteristic of the west coast throughout the region
which I have indicated. A few West Indian species become more
plentiful as we go southward; thus, Cancellaria reticulata is somewhat
rare in the vicinity of Tampa Bay, but is plentiful on Sannibel Island, a
hundred miles south, and so on to the extreme end of the State. Tel-
lina puniceus is very seldom found north of the Caloosahatchee River,
but at Cape Sable it is abundant; Natica canrena is more abundant to
the southward, etc. Still, the difference in a collection of shells made
at Anna Maria Key and one from Cape Sable is hardly perceptible.
But when one crosses over to the nearest of the lower range of Keys a
very different shell fauna is met with. On these Keys the character-
istic species are such shells as Vasum muricatum, Strombus gigas and
bituberculatus, the Tritons, Ricinula nodulosa, the Purples, Marginella
carnea and guttata, Ovulum gibbosum, Columbella mercatoria, the
Cypreeas, the Doliums, the Neritas, the violet snails, several species of
Littorina, the Imperators, a number of Acmezeas, the Strigillas, Mytilus
exustus, the Pernas, and the like, scarcely one of which is ever found on
the west coast of the mainland at all.

This change may be accounted for in part, no doubt, by the fact that
the Keys are of coral formation and that the shores of the west coast
of the mainland are mostly sandy; but I believe the Gulf Stream to be
accountable for most of this. It sweeps to the southward a long way
to the west of the mainland of Florida, but is crowded in close to the
Tortugas and the Florida Keys, and is kept in near to these Keys on
the south-eastern shore and for a long distance up the east coast of the
mainland. ‘The theory that this is the distributor of many of these
tropical forms is sustained by the fact that such shells as Purpura flori-
dana, Strombus bituberculatus, Marginella carnea, Cassis tuberosa and

SIMPSON — CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MOLLUSCA OF FLORIDA. 47

cameo, the Doliums, galea and perdix, the Ianthinas, Arca incongrua,
Pecten ornatus, and many others, are found along the entire eastern
coast of the State, and even, in some cases, as far north as the coast of
North Carolina, though not one of them, so far as I know, is found on
the west coast. The molluscan fauna of the Bermudas, though these
islands lie north of the northern limit of Florida, is much more like
that of the lower Keys than that of the west coast.

Another point worthy of notice is that many of the Atlantic coast
species appear on the west coast of the State, some of which, though
abundant at Tampa Bay and northward, are not found, or are rare, at
the southern extremity of the peninsula. Among the Atlantic coast
species found on the western shore of the State, I may mention Uro-
salpinx cinerea, Eupleura caudata, Columbella avara, Natica dupli-
cata, Crepidula glauca, fornicata, and convexa, Bittium nigrum, Litto-
rina irrorata, Mactra lateralis, Crassatella ]unulata, Macoma proxima,
Ostrea virginica, etc. Some of these extend westward to the coast of
Texas. I have seen a number of these in the collection of Mr. Harry A.
Pilsbry, picked up by him at Galveston, and among them valves of
Petricola pholadiformis, a shell which I have never found on the west
coast of Florida. It is reported from that locality by Mr. Calkins, but
I have seen the shells presented by that gentleman to the Davenport
Academy and bearing that label, and they are only worn valves of
Pholas costata. Whether or not these species passed into the Gulf of
Mexico before the peninsula attained its present’ dimensions, as has
been surmised, is a question I think we cannot settle until we know
more of the distribution of living forrs and of the fossil species of the
State.

I found the Tortugas wonderfully rich in the smaller forms of the
mollusca, and many species were obtained there which I think have
never heretofore been credited to Florida. Sarasota Bay and vicinity
and Tampa Bay were also very prolific in species. <A single dredging
trip of some twenty hauls, in the latter body of water, yielded about
one hundred and twenty-five species, many of them never obtained
elsewhere.

Second — The land shells of the State consist of a few species of
wide distribution, such as Zonites indentatus, arboreus, minusculus,
and fulvus, Strobila labyrinthica, several of the Pupas, Carychium ex-
iguum, Succinea obliqua, and the like; a number that are peculiarly
southern in their distribution, among which the Polygyras are numer-
ous, both as to species and individuals, and a good many species whose
metropolis is the West Indies and South America, probably brought

by the Gulf Stream. Among these may be mentioned Zonites gund-
lachi, Cylindrella poeyana, Bulimulus marielinus, Strophia incana,
Stenogyra subula and gracilima, Liguus fasciatus, Orthalicus undatus,
the two species of Macroceramus, from Cuba; Helix varians, from the
Bahamas; and Bulimulus multilineatus, from South America. Glan-
dina truncata is also a Cuban species, as well as Helix vortex and
Chondropoma dentatum. Of the West Indian shells, Strophia incana,
Bulimulus marielinus, the Stenogyras, Helix varians, Orthalicus unda-
tus, the Cylindrellas, and Chondropoma dentatum seem to be confined
to the lower Keys or the extreme southern portion of the peninsula;
Bulimulus multilineatus and Liguus fasciatus range farther north; the
two species of Macroceramus extend to Tampa Bay; and the re-
mainder are probably found over the greater part of the State. Of
course these limits may be extended by future research.

Third — The fresh-water species have but a. small representation
from the tropics. Planorbus tumidus is a Cuban shell; so are Ampul-
laria depressa and Neritina reclivata. Ancylus obscurus is West
Indian, and Ampullaria caliginosa is from Mexico and Nicaragua. <A
number of the univalves are of northern origin, no doubt: such as
Limneea humilis, Planorbis trivolvis, Physa heterostropha, and the like.
The species of Unios are all, so far as I know, confined to the waters
flowing into the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, and many of them are
probably peculiar to the State.

In the preparation of this catalogue, I have been continually under
obligation to Mr. William H. Dall, of the United States National Mu-
seum, at Washington. He has identified several hundreds of the
smaller and less known species, has aided me constantly with advice
and valuable suggestions, and has written out the descriptions of the
new species. To him my thanks are due for his patience and forbear-
ance throughout. Mr. Dall wishes me to say that he has simply given
a name to such species as have passed through his hands; that it would
be impossible to tell whether these names will stand or not when the
synonymy is thoroughly worked out.

I would also express my obligations to Mr. John Ford, of the Phila-
delphia Academy of Natural Sciences, for comparing many of my spe-
cies with the type-shells in the museum, and for kindly help and en-
couragement; to M. C. F. Ancey, of Marseilles, France, for identifying
many of the land species and fresh-water univalves; to Mr. William A.
Marsh, of Aledo, Ill., and Mr. Harry A. Pilsbry, of Davenport, lowa,
for assistance in identifying the Unios.

I have no doubt that there are errors in this catalogue. It has
been prepared in haste, in the odd moments of a very busy life. |
have but little literature on the subject, and have never had any oppor-
tunity to examine extensive libraries or collections ;—in fact, a por-
tion of my Florida species I have not yet had time to unpack and
compare. My work has been mostly done in the field. I thought it
better, however, to do something than to wait for leisure and oppor-
tunities which might never come. I therefore ask the kindly consider-

ation of all into-whose hands it may fall.

Muricidea floridana Con. Abundant at Tampa Bay and vicinity.

Urosalpinx cinereus Say. Occasionally found in the vicinity of
Tampa Bay.

Urosalpinx cinereus Say, var. A couple of heavy-shouldered shells,
with short spire, somewhat worn, were picked up on Sannibel Island.
Mr. Dall supposes them to be a variety of this species.

Urosalpinx tampaensis Con. Occasionally found in Tampa Bay.

Eupleura caudata Say. Dredged in Tampa Bay.

shell, very different from 2. caudata as dredged by me; but Mr. Dall
believes it to be the same.

Purpura hemastoma V.. Key West.

Purpura floridana Con. Florida Keys; east coast, Mr. T. I. Cun-
ningham.

are, no doubt, forms of the widely distributed and variable Purpura
hemastoma.

Purpura deltoidea Lam. Florida Keys.

Ricinula nodulosa C. B. Ad. Key West; Tortugas. Abundant.

Rhizocheilus (Coralliophila) galea Chem. ‘Tortugas, one worn shell.
Two worn shells were found in Tampa Bay, which are probably this,
but are more slender and not so solid as the Tortugas specimen.

Triton tritonis L., var. nobilis Con. I found about thirty living
specimens on the reefs at Tortugas, of an apparently stunted form,
being very solid and having a heavy lip, though not over seven or
eight inches in length. Capt. William Bahrt, of Braidentown, has a
noble shell from Duck Key that measures fourteen inches in length.

Triton pilearis L.. ‘Tortugas. This is Calkins’ 7° vedzez.

Triton chlorostomus Lam. ‘Tortugas. One fairly good adult shell.

Triton arachnoides Morch. ‘Tortugas; several worn and broken ex-
amples. .

Fasciolaria tulipa 1... Common and variable. A form found in shel-
tered bays is much duller colored and coarser than those of the open
‘sea. A mahogany-colored form is occasionally found on the Keys.

SIMPSON — CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MOLLUSCA OF FLORIDA. 51

Fasciolaria distans Lam. West coast; common. Mr. Tryon makes
this a variety of / ¢ulipa. I have never found the connecting shells.

Fasciolaria gigantea Keiner. West coast, and Keys. In the vicinity
of Tampa Bay, adult shells are seldom over a foot long. On the Keys,
I have seen dead shells two feet in length. The largest Gasteropod in
the world.

London, is common on the Keys and southern end of the mainland.

Melongena corona, var. bispinosa Phil. Abundant at Lostman’s Point.
Fulgur pyrum Dillw. West coast.

Fulgur perversus 1. West coast; common. The shell is ordinarily
painted, when young, with brown, buff, and orange; but fades into a
dirty white when full grown. I have a live shell, found at Long Key,
which measures fifteen and one-half inches in length. On this island I
found a beautiful, pure white variety, young shells sometimes having a
few black markings on the spire. Both species are found at Galveston,
on the Texas coast.

Columbella mercatoria L. The Keys; east coast, Cunningham. One
living specimen was dredged in Tampa Bay, in seven fathoms. A most
variable shell in size, form, and coloring.

Columbella dysoni Reeve. Tortugas. A shell agreeing with Tryon’s
figure and description of this was found on Tortugas, and I have the

condition on Cape Sable.

Terebra protexta Con. West coast, rare; dredged in Sarasota and
Tampa Bays.

Terebra dislocatus Say. Abundant on sand flats at low tide.

Strombus pugilis LL. Common everywhere on the west coast. A
color variety has the interior of the mouth colored violet and blue.

Strombus pugilis, var. alatus Gm. Not a distinct variety at all. I
have a suite of shells, varying from perfectly smooth forms to those
with sharp spines on the shoulder, and from a uniform chestnut color
throughout all the different patterns of bands and zigzag painting to
pale yellow. Some of the smooth forms are a uniform chestnut color.
I have a tuberculate variety with a brilliant light orange aperture. All
these forms are found from high tide to several fathoms’ depth.

Strombus bitubercuiatus Lam. Florida Keys; east coast.
Strombus gigas L. Florida Keys.

Strombus costatus Gm. Florida Keys; rare. I have a weathered
shell which I found on Passage Key, at the mouth of Tampa Bay, and
Mr. Charles More has- one, in good condition, which he found on
Egmont Key, while residing there as light keeper. I have a young
shell which is probably this, which Mr. P. W. Reasoner found at Little
Sarasota Pass, that is of a bright crimson color. I have seen shells of
this species that were collected near St. Augustine.

that a specimen had not been obtained there, in good condition, for
more than a year. I have seen shells from the Tortugas that would
not go into an ordinary water-bucket. I found a nearly entire fresh
shell on the upper end of Anna Maria Key, in the spring of 1885.

The following is Mr. Dall’s description of this little shell:

SIMPSON —CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MOLLUSCA OF FLORIDA. 55

“Shell polished, shining, with (including the nucleus) six and a half
whorls; nucleus madder-brown, smooth, rather large, blunt, with one
and a half turns; remainder transversely ribbed with 8—1o smooth,
rounded, nearly straight, stout ribs, extending from suture to suture,
which begin with the end of the nuclear part, and fail at the last third
of the last whorl, which is marked only by silky fine incremental striz ;
the spaces between the ribs are equal to or somewhat less than the
ribs in width; longitudinal sculpture none, or only occasional extremely
faint microscopic lines; whorls not inflated; color, rosy pellucid white,
banded in front of the suture with rosy brown, fainter on the ribs, and,
in the specimen described, extending forward nearly to the periphery
of the earlier whorls; the base of the last whorl similarly tinged; the last
somewhat varicose rib and the outer thickened lip whitish; aperture and
canal very short and wide, and notch deep and large, rounded, leaving
no fasciole, the outer lip lightly thickened, arched forward, a slight
callus on the columella; interior not lirate in the specimen described.

“Lon. 5.75 mm.; last whorl equal to half the total length; maximum
diameter of shell, 2.1 mm.

“Two specimens of this extremely pretty little shell were obtained at
Tampa Bay by Mr. Simpson. It differs from any known form from
that region heretofore, and in the form of its aperture and notch re-
calls some of the west coast Drillias, but, owing to the absence of a
fasciole in front of the suture, can hardly be referred to that section of
the Pleurotomidz. One specimen is in the collection of the National
Museum, No. 61,040.”

The only two specimens obtained of this species were dredged in
about five fathoms.

The Pleurotomide are in great confusion, and but little is accurately
known concerning the species. I have used the generic name Pleuro-

toma for the species sometimes classed under the generic name of
Drillia.

Conus floridanus Gabb. Cape Sable and northward.

56 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

Conus peali Green? Shells collected at Long Key stem to agree
tolerably well with description and figures of the above, but are larger
than the dimensions given for that species.

Conus proteus Hwass. West coast. _ Often washed on shore, but
generally worn. Probably a deep-water species.

Conus mus Hwass. A number of very fine living shells were col-
lected on the Tortugas reefs at low water.

Conus pygmaeus Reeve. West coast. Nearly jet black shells, with
white squarish spots, were found in Magill’s Bay. Further south, the
shell is often whitish, with yellow or brown spots, and grooved through-
out the entire body-whorl. I have the same shell collected on the east
coast of Honduras, which is very dark and covered with pustules. I
also have it from Panama.

Conus cardinalis Hwass. A single slightly worn shell was found at
the Tortugas which seems to be this species.

Conus magellanicus Hwass. ‘Tortugas. Worn shells were found at the
above locality which appear to be this. The species is found at the
Bahamas.

Natica pusilla Say. Young living specimens were dredged in Tampa
and Terraciea Bays.

Natica duplicata Say. Abundant on west coast, being found from
the open sea up to nearly fresh water in rivers, and quite variable.
There is a flattened form found in the open sea which approaches JV.
Josephine in shape.

Natica canrena \.. West coast; more abundant southward.

Natica uberiana D’Orb. Tortugas; Key West; Florida Keys.

Natica mamillaris Lam. ‘Tortugas; one worn shell.

Natica marochiensis Gm., var. livida Pfr. Marco; one fine shell.
Occasionally found on the south-west coast.

Sigaretus perspectivus Say. West coast, on sand flats at low tide.

Sigaretus maculatus Say. Vong Key; one shell in fairly good con-
dition.

Lamellaria pellucida Verrill. Long Key; one shell.

Calyptrea candeana D’Orb. West coast; Long Key. One living
specimen and an abundance of dead shells were dredged in Tampa Bay.

Cochliolepis parasiticus Stimpson. Passage Key; dredged in Tampa
Bay. A few shells, all dead.

Crepidula fornicata Say. One of the most abundant shells in the
vicinity of Tampa Bay.

Crepidula glauca Say. Mr. Tryon makes a species of this, but I have
no doubt that it is a variety of the very variable C. fornicata.

Crepidula convexa Say. I have shells from Tampa Bay and vicinity
that agree perfectly with figures and description of this species, as well
as with shells from the New England coast. I have often found it

SIMPSON— CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MOLLUSCA OF FLORIDA. 57

growing on Modulus floridanus. I believe it to be a variety of C. for-
nicata.

Crepidula plana Say. Common on the interior of the /wlgurs and
other dead shells.

Crepidula aculeata Gm. West coast and Keys. Quite variable ;
generally found beach worn.

Capulus intortus Lam. Key West.

Capulus subrufus Lam. ‘Tortugas.

Mitrularia equestris L. ‘Tortugas.

Mitrularia equestris, var. tortilis Reeve. Key West.

* Xenophora conchyliophora Born. ‘South-east Keys; two living shells
were received from William Bahrt.

Vermetus nigricans Dall. Sarasota Bay and other localities on the
west coast, forming solid reefs between tides. In the crevices among
these reefs numbers of AZytilus exustus and cubitus, and the various
species of Zithodomus find a home.

Vermetus conicus Dillwv. Egmont and Anna Maria Keys.

Vermetus lumbricalis \.., var. spiratus Phil. Common on the west
coast.

Vermetus lumbricalis L., var. bicarinatus Morch. West coast;
Cape Sable.

Vermetus lumbricalis 1.., var. radicula Stimp. West coast; common.

Vermetus retifera Morch. Tortugas. A peculiar form, having the
tube flattened and closely coiled, growing on corals and the piling of
an old wharf, and having the apertural portion elevated. Mr. Tryon
considered it a variety of V7 conicus Dillw., but it seems to me quite
distinct.

Vermetus annulatus Daudin. ‘Tortugas. Partly imbedded in shells
of Chama macrophylla.

Vermetus annulatus Daudin, var. irregularis D’Orb. Tortugas. On
shells and corals, growing in dense clusters. This agrees in color and
in being irregularly contorted, and transversely lamellated, with the
description of this variety, but differs from it, and from the description
of the subgenus in not veing imbedded, and in growing in dense clus-
ters. It is a Spiroglyphus, as the operculum is convex externally, with
concentric lamine, and concave internally, with a central mamilla and
narrowly elevated margin.

Vermetus decussatus Gm. Egmont Key.

Vermetus nebulosus Dillw.? Tortugas. Attached to shells. On ac-
count of the irregular growth of these shells, and the fact that
specimens with the opercula are seldom obtained, they are very diffi-
cult to accurately identify, and a good deal of confusion exists con-
cerning the species. Many of them closely resemble the shells of
Serpula, an annelid genus; they differ from the Sevfw/a in having a
spiral, nuclear shell, and usually internal /amel/@ or septa.

fanthina fragilis and globosa, the former being most abundant.
Thousands of these shells contained the animals in a perfectly fresh
state, and were no doubt living when thrown up the night before.
There had been no storm, nor even a change of wind, and though I
had searched the same beach the evening before, I had not found an
example of either species. It seems asif a vast school of these animals,
carried by some current, had been landed bodily on the rocky beach.

latter now found only rarely living on the Florida Keys. With these
fossils were associated a great majority of the species living to-day on
the adjoining coast. I believe that Pyramidella dolobrata has not be-

often climbing twenty-five feet up mangrove trees. Exceedingly vari-
able in size and coloring. The finest specimens were found at Marco.

Littorina irrorata Say. Abundant in localities only rarely covered
by high tide.

Littorina lineata D’Orb. Florida Keys; a very large, heavy, inflated

by me on the west coast. Much confusion exists concerning this shell.
Pyrazus minimus Gw., is often mistaken for this species. and its so-
called variety versicolor of C. B. Adams, which it somewhat resembles in
size, form, and sculpture. C. fevvugineum is a solider shell, the aperture
is smaller and is lirate within, the nodules are more distinct, and,
upon the whole, it is a rougher shell. In Pyrazus minimus the nod-
ules are pinched up into longitudinal plications, which become evanes-
cent on the lower part of the whorls. I consider the variety versicolor
C. B. Ad., of Cerithium ferrugineum, of no value. Mr. Tryon sepa-
rates C. rissoidaeum Sowb., and states in the manual that it is smaller,
always white or yellowish white, and that the sculpture is slightly dif-

ferent. My extensive suit of these shells from Tortugas does not show
any distinction even as a variety, as the variation is from the most slen-
der forms to those almost pupoidal, and with every shade of color from
dark brown, through various patterns of painting, to pure white. Some
of these shells are not over 6 mm. in length. C. erzense Val. is a syn-
onym of ferrugineum.

Cerithium muscarum Say. A most beautiful and abundant form in
Florida. A small, very delicate variety, with chestnut-colored puncta-
tions, is found on the Keys; and I also have it from the Bermudas and
Honduras, but it connects with the type.

Cerithium guiniacum Phil.? A broken and slightly worn shell was
picked up at the Tortugas which agrees well with this species, and is
certainly like nothing else that I have seen. I have another worn speci-
men of the same from Utilla, Honduras.

shells of the west coast of Florida. Specimens vary from ashy white
to almost jet black, and are often chestnut, chocolate, or even reddish.
Many are beautifully variegated with spiral bands of white, chocolate,
brown, and yellowish. ‘The best distinguishing character is the slightly
pinched up nodulous plications on the upper part of the whorls, but
they are not always so marked, as I have specimens which are nearly
smooth. It is Lampanella septemstriata Say., L. nigrescens Menke,

*Campeloma floridense Call. Orange County. T. L. Cunningham.

*Campeloma lima Anth.? A shell was obtained from Mr. R. C. Stuart,
marked Florida, which seems to agree well with Dall’s figure and de-
scription of the above species, only that it is lighter in color.

* Ampullaria depressa Say. Sumpter and Volusia Counties, Cunning-
ham; Orange County, Pilsbry.

Ampullaria caliginosa Reeve. Manatee County near Braiden Creek,
one worn shell; Royal Palm Hammock, several hundred shells; Miami
region; Cedar Keys. These agree in most respects with Dall’s de-
scription in Hemphill’s Shells. I have shells of 4A. depressa which are
malleated, and have as large an umbilicus as A. caliginosa. Some
shells of the latter species have a brownish operculum, and are not

marked with salmon. However, the shells of A. ca/iginosa, so far as I
have seen, are generally heavier, the peristome is much thicker, and
the whorls more globose than 4. depressa. I have a lot of the latter
from Havana, Cuba, which in form approach more nearly, to calzg7nosa
than my Florida specimens.

Truncatella pulchella Pfr. Tampa and Magill’s Bays; East Florida,
Cunningham.

ningham. I have one or two specimens of this found at Cedar Ham-
mock in Manatee County.

Flelicina orbiculata Say. Key West; Manatee County, several
localities; Evans’ plantation. At the latter place, just on the borders
of the everglades, a short distance above Cape Sable, I found this shell
in great numbers, and varying greatly in color, ranging from pure
white, cream color, and yellow, to red and purple, ashy blue, green,
and beautifully variegated. Most of these were found living on the
ground about rotting logs, but quite a number were taken alive on the
trunks of cabbage and royal palms, in some cases as much as ten feet
from the ground. ‘This is the only instance in which I found any of
the opferculated land shells of Florida on trees. elicina dysont, a
closely related species, was generally found on the under side of the
leaves of Thrynax radiata at Utilla.

of the rough variety.

Fissurella barbadensis. Smooth variety. One worn shell at Gar-
den Key; Tortugas.

most variable shell. At one time, after a storm, I found thousands of
living examples washed ashore on the north beach of Egmont Key.

* Bulla undata Brug. Several fine shells were received of William
Bahrt, collected by him on the South-east Keys.

Bulla striata Brug. ‘Tortugas. A few dead shells. Abundant at
Havana and Utilla Islands; Honduras. Found in great. quantities,
fossil, in the hammocks south of the Manatee River, where many shells
retain their coloring.

Hlaminea succinea Con. Salt Pond, Terraciea Island, very large
specimens; Egmont Key; Long Key.

Flaminea virescens Sby. West coast; Salt Ponds, Terraciea Island;
mouth of Manatee River, ete. At one time, while collecting at Long
Key during a very low tide, I found thousands of this species crawling
about in a sheltered locality between tides, on a shelly beach, among a
species of broad-leaved grass. They were all young.

Flaminea antillarum D’Orb. Manatee River; Terraciea Island. A
beautiful and delicate shell.

fydatina physis L. West coast; rare. I found broken shells at
“The Rocks,” Little Sarasota Pass, and at a few other localities. I
have a shell from Mr. R. C. Stuart, collected on the west coast, local-
ity unknown.

Island.

Aplysia protea Rang? Marco. Abundant in the passes among the
Ten Thousand Islands. Occasionally seen in Sarasota Bay.

Glandina truncata Gm. West coast and Keys; very variable.
Sumpter County, Cunningham.

SIMPSON —CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MOLLUSCA OF FLORIDA. 65

Glandina truncata, var. parallela W. G. B. Undoubtedly only a
form of G. ¢runcata. ‘The heavy shell with cylindrical or compressed
body whorl, I found mostly on shell mounds, where they seem to live
on and around Opuntia polyantha,; while the typical ¢runcata was
most abundant around ponds in pine woods. A small, red form was
obtained at Evans’ plantation, and another, something like G. fexasiana
in form, but shorter and more solid, and of a light salmon color, was
found on Cape Sable.

Zonites arboreus Say. Rather plentiful in hammocks in and around
decaying logs; Sumpter County, Cunningham.

Zonites indentatus Say. Usually found with Z. arboreus; Sumpter
County, Cunningham.

Zonites gundlachi Pfr. Evans’ plantation; Manatee County.

Zonites fulvus Drap. Evans’ plantation; Monroe County; Cedar
Hammock; and hammock near the village of Manatee, with 7 gund-
lachi.

Zonites minusculus Binn. Manatee County, several localities;
Evans’ plantation.

*Zon‘tes suppressus Say. Gainesville, J. B. Upson; Fernandina,
Henry Hemphill. I have a shell from Terraciea Island, which I think
is the same.

Tebennophorus carolinensis Bosc. Terraciea Island, in heavy ham-
mock.

Microphysa vortex Pfr. Goodland Point; Evans’ plantation. Tol-
erably abundant in both localities.

Flelix ( Polygyra) auriculata Say. One of the most common land
shells of Manatee County. Abounding around ponds in pine and ham-
mock woods. ‘The shell varies a good deal in size.

Flelix (Polygyra) uvulifera Shutt. Found abundantly in a ham-
mock south of the Manatee River.

* Helix (Polygyra) postelliana Bld. Callahan, J. B. Upson.

* Helix (Polygyra) aurtformis Bld. Volusia County, Cunningham.

Helix (Polygyra) tcereolus Muh). Anna Maria, Passage, Mullet
and Long Keys.

Felix ( Polygyra) carpenteriana Bld. A very common form on the
mainland near the sea. On Rabbit Key, near Cape Romaine, I found
this species under Agave rigida, in such quantities that it could be
scraped up in handfuls, and nearly all living.

Flelix (Polygyra) septemvolva Say. Keys along the mouth of
Tampa Bay. There is no doubt now that the above three are merely
forms of one species, which Mr. Dall unites under the oldest name,
Flelix cereolus Miuhl. In the summer of 1884, I found on Mullet
Key a great number of living specimens of the above species, varying
through every range of size and number of whorls from the smallest
carpenteriana to the largest septemzolva or cereolus, and having an

(Proc. D. A. N.S., Vol. V.] 9 [February 19, 1889. ]

66 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

equal diversity of coloring. There were some smooth shells, others
with rib-like striae, as well as great variation in the height of spire and
the carination of the outer whorl. In fact, it seemed as though all the
forms I had hitherto met with of this protean species, were here mixed
together, as if to prove at a glance that they were merely forms of one
and the same thing.

Felix (Polygyra) febigeri Bid. Sumpter County, Cunningham;
Key West. I cannot in any way distinguish these from shells with the
same name from New Orleans. Those received from Mr. Cunningham
were labelled Polygyra febigert. Undoubtedly a form of H cereolus.

felix (Polygyra) pustula Fer. Shaw’s Point, at the mouth of the
Manatee River; Cedar Hammock, and occasionally other localities in
Manatee County; Gainesville, J. B. Upson.

* Helix (Polygyra) pustuloides Bld. Cedar Keys, J. B. Upson.

*Helix (Polygyra) avara Say. Sumpter County, Cunningham;
Jacksonville, Hemphill.

* Helix (Triodopsis) hopetonensis Shutt. Jacksonville, J. B. Upson;
Cedar Keys, Hemphill.

Felix (Mesodon) major. A single fine shell of this species was seen
in the possession of Mr. R. C. Stuart, who collected it while on a cruise
along the West coast.

Helix (Mesodon) jejuna Say. Point Pinellas on shell mound, abun-
dant but dead; Terraciea Island; banks of Ware’s Creek ; Braidentown ;
and Fogartyville. The only mollusk ever found in high dry pine woods
in Florida. I have seen it crawling on barren dry sand near Braiden-
town, and around my dwelling, and along the road in Fogartyville.

Helix (Mesodon) mobiliana Binn. This form of 7esuza was found,
associated with the typical shell.

Fflelix (Strobila) hubbardi Brown. Cedar Hammock, Manatee
County; small and very light colored. A larger dark brown shell was
found at Goodland Point, and Evans’ plantation.

Felix (Strobila) labyrinthica Say. Cedar Hammock; hammock
south of Manatee River, rather plentiful. Fossil also at the latter
locality.

felix (ffemitrochus) varians Menke. Key West.

Flelicodiscus lineata Say. ‘Terraciea Island; Pine Level, in a swamp
in moss about the roots of trees.

Bulimulus multilineatus Say. Key West; dead shells, but many of
them large and in good condition. At Pine Key (Lower Keys) about
one hundred and twenty fine large specimens were collected from trees
and shrubs, at a few feet of elevation from the ground. All were at-
tached (they were collected in May), by a thick epiphragm. Torch
Key, a few dead shells. Mr. John Brown, of the U. S. Coast Survey
Schooner “Quick,” brought me about sixty living specimens from Cax-
onibas, of what seems to be a smaller, darker variety than those I
collected.

SIMPSON — CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MOLLUSCA OF FLORIDA. 67

Bulimulus dormant W. G. B. Several hundred dead shells were
found in the heavy hammock north of the Manatee River, in the winter
of 1884. The following summer I found a number of the same species,
alive, at the above locatity, crawling on the under side of the leaves of
the cabbage palms. The animal is a beautiful porcelain color. Occa-
sionally found in other localities in Manatee County. I have the same
shell from Volusia County, from Mr. Cunningham.

Orthalicus undatus Brug. Key West. Dead shells of the typical
form were found near the city.

Orthalicus undatus, var. Cape Sable. The variety figured in Bin-
ney’s Manual of American Land Shells, p. 440, was found abundantly
on trees at Cape Sable. Many of these were so firmly attached by
the epiphragm that it was impossible to remove them without cutting
the bark from under them. Several were broken in attempting to twist
them off.

Liguns fasciatus Mull. Goodland Point; abundant. At this local-
ity a water bucketfull of this species was collected from the trees in a
few hours, in one of the most terribly tangled tropical thickets I ever
saw. ‘They seemed to appear in greatest numbers during cloudy and
misty weather. On one such morning I found the trees and shrubs
full of them, but the mosquitoes and sand-flies, which take advantage
of such weather, were so intolerable that I was compelled to retreat.
The variety found here was either pure white, or slightly marked with
greenish or brown lines on the body whorl. At Cape Sable some of
the shells were marked with a broad spiral band of brilliant orange, and
on one shell the band was bright green. At Rabbit Key the variety
was found, having a wide brown band, and at Pine Key a very large
form, greatly elongated, with flattened whorls, and beautifully marked
with brown, green, blue, and purple, on a yellow ground, one of the
loveliest land shells I have ever seen. All these forms had the coiu-
mella and tip of the spire stained with pink. At Pine Key one living
shell was found, of a chalky-white throughout, and having a single very
narrow Olive line on the body and next whorl, the columella being as
distinctly truncated as most of the African Achatinas. Liguns fasci-
atus is reported to me on good authority from as far north as Sanibel
Island, at the mouth of the Caloosahatchie.

Stenogyra gracillima Pfr. Key West. Found abundantly, mostly
dead, near high tide mark.

Stenogyra subula Pfr. Key West; about twenty living examples.

Macroceramus poutificus Gld. Point Pinallis, on shell mound with
flelix jejuna; Shaw’s Point.

Macroceramus gossei Pfr. Key West; Evans’ plantation.

Pupa fallax Say. Point Pinallis; Long Key; Anna Maria and
Passage Keys.

Pupa rupicola Say. On shell mounds and in heavy hammocks;
abundant.

Puja armifera Say. Low hammock south of the Manatee River.

68 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

Pupa contracta Say. With P. armifera, Manatee County ; not rare.

Pupa pentodon Say. Old fields south of Manatee River; Magill’s
Mound, on Terraciea Island.

Pupa floridana Dall. Cedar Hammock, south of Manatee River.

Strophia incana Binn. Key West, abundant but mostly dead, on
lands occasionally overflowed by high tide; Torch Key; Pine Key
(Lower Keys). At the latter place thousands of living shells were
found, many on the ground among leaves and at the roots of trees, and
others on bushes with Budimulus multilineatus, though not often climb-
ing over four or five feet high.

Succinea luteola Gid. Ponds near Braidentown. Very abundant.

* Succinea effusa Shutt. Sumpter County, Cunningham.

Succinea campestris Say. Key West; keys in the vicinity of Tampa
Bay. Abundant.

Succinea obligua Say. One fine shell from a pond near Fogartyville,
Manatee County, is identified as this by Mr. Dall, with certainty. I
believe this is the first time it has been reported with certainty from
Florida.

Succinea avara Say.? With the above two or three specimens, Mr.
Dall identifies them with doubt. The whorls are quite flat for that
species, but they agree better with figure and description of this than
anything in Binney’s Manual.

Veronicella floridana Binn. ‘Terraciea Island, around dwellings and
under lumber.

Auricula pellucens Menke. Evans’ plantation, on land occasionally
covered by high tide, abundant; Lost Man’s Point; mouth of Caloos-
ahatchie River; Torch Key, plentiful on low ground.

Carychium exiguum Say. Found living in a low wet hammock near
Palma Sola. Identified by Mr. Dall and Mr. C. F. Ancey. This is
the first time, I believe, that it has been reported from Florida.

Melampus flavus Gm. North side of Manatee River, in salt ponds.

Melampus lineatus Say. North side of Manatee River; Cedar Keys,
Upson.

Melampus lineatus, var. Both species and variety found with JZ.
flavus.

Melampus caffeus L. Common. A very large and fine form was
obtained abundantly on mud flats near-Magill’s Mound.

Melampus floridanus Shutt. Evans’ plantation, with Awricula pel-
luceus.

Melampus floridanus, var. An elongated form, which is probably a
variety of this, was found in salt ponds north of the Manatee River.
It somewhat resembles in form a small Detracia bulloides.

Melampus (Detracia) bulloides Mont. Key West, abundant, though
mostly dead; Red-fish Point.

SIMPSON —CONTRIBUTIONS TG THE MOLLUSCA OF FLORIDA. 69

Tralia (Alexia?) minuscula Dall.

“Shell minute, smooth, yellowish white, with about five whorls beside
the minute, rounded, sinistral, half-immersed nucleus; spire moderately
elevated, pointed; sculpture of fine regular impressed lines, parallel
with the incremental striz; suture distinct; last whorl with nearly par-
allel sides, rounded and slightly attenuated base; columella stout,
strongly twisted, white, short, outer lip nearly straight, somewhat thick-
ened, especially anteriorly, not lirate or denticulate internally; body
with two revolving ridges, the posterior one fainter and placed in
advance of the middle of the whorl; a slight wash of callus on the
body; aperture about one-third as wide as the body whorl to the left
of it, pointed behind, rounded and slightly oblique in front. Soft parts
unknown.

“Lon. of shell, 3.8 mm.; of last whorl, 3.0 mm.; maximum diameter
of shell, 2.0 mm.

“This interesting little species was found in the wash of the beach at
Magill’s Bay, Tampa, by Mr. Simpson, in moss in a dried-up marsh near
Tampa, by Dr. Velie, and on the shores of the lagoon at Exuma Island,
Bahamas, by Dr. J. J. Brown, and by the U. S. Fish Commission in
1885. The soft parts are unknown, and its reference to 7ra/ia 1s,
therefore, provisional only. It differs from Zyalia, sensu stricto, as
typified by Zralia pusilla, in the absence of the wave and internal
ridge in outer lip. This, however, may be only a specific character.
At all events, it is without the internal liree of Me/ampus, etc., and un-
til the character of the foot is known, may perhaps best be located in
the above-mentioned group.”

The above is Mr. Dall’s description of this SUE Only three or
four specimens were found.

Pedipes naticoides Stearns. Beach at Magill’s Mound.

Pedipes elongatus Dall. I found the last three species occasionally
at the above locality, washed up in grass, with quantities of several
species of Zruncatella, Cerithium nigrescens and muscarum, Columbella
rustica, and a number of other small species.

Blauneria heteroclita Mont. With the above; rare.

Linnea humilis Say. Terraciea Island; ponds south of the Mana-
tee River. Abundant. In the month of November, 1884, I found this
species with eggs deposited on the outside of their shells. Also found
near Tampa. Smaller and darker colored than those I have collected
in the Northern States.

Linnea columella Say., var. casta Lea. Pond near Fogartyville,
Manatee County.

Physa pomilia Conrad. Ponds in pine woods, Manatee County.
Physa heterostropha Say. Ponds, Terraciea Island.

Physa elliptica Lea. Pond near Fogartyville.

Planorbis trivolvis Say. Ponds on Terraciea Island.

7O DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

Planorbis tumidus Pfr. Ponds south of Manatee River; sluggish
stream in Cedar Hammock. <A Cuban species also found in Mexico.

Planorbis Duryi Wetherby. Volusia County, Cunningham; Orange
County, Pilsbry; Royal Palm Hammock, associated with Ampudlaria
caliginosa and Cyrenoida floridana, on a low wet prairie.

Planorbis exacutus, Say. Pine Level, Florida, in a swampy stream;
young.

*Planorbis glabratus Say. Mayport. Several beautiful shells were
received from Mr. F. C. Sawyer.

Cunningham.

Dentalium disparile D’Orb. Dredged in seven or eight fathoms, in
Tampa Bay.

Dentalium lubricum Dall. ‘Tortugas.

Dentalium antillarum D’Orb. Tortugas; dead shells.

Dentalium coarctatum Lam. ‘Tampa Bay.

Rocellaria ovata Sby. Two specimens were found burrowing in
coral on Sand Key, Tortugas. One living example was dredged in
Tampa Bay. Another was found burrowing in the shell of Avca oa,
in Little Sarasota Pass.

Rocellaria rostrata Speng.? A living shell was accidentally broken
on being taker*from its burrow in the rocks on Little Content Key,
which agrees quite well with the figure of this species.

Teredo norvegica Speng. ‘Taken from timber in the Manatee River.

Xvlotrya bipinnata Jeftr. Burrowing in lumber of the Floating Dry
Dock, Manatee River.

Pholas costata L.. Although this is a West Indian shell (it extends
as far south as Patagonia), it seems to attain its greatest size and beauty
at Cedar Keys, so far as I have examined specimens from the Florida
coast. A shell from that locality in my collection is about eight inches
in length, and very beautiful. Those in the vicinity of Tampa Bay are
smaller, while at Cape Sable, where odd valves are washed up by the
thousand, I did not find one over five inches in length.

Pholas truncata Say. West coast, occasional valves; and quite
abundant at Cape Sable.

Martesia cunetformis Say. A large number of shells were found by
Mr. R. C. Stuart, on the West coast, in a floating palmetto log. I
found shells at Long Key and Tortugas. Cedar Keys, Hemphill.

Martesia smithii Tryon. A fine shell was dug out of an old vessel
in the Manatee River.

SIMPSON—CONTRIBUTILONS TO THE MOLLUSCA OF FLORIDA. 71

Solecurtus gibbosus Speng. Manatee River, on sandy, muddy flats.
Solecurtus divisus Speng. West coast; common.

Solen viridis Say. Manatee River; Tampa and Sarasota Bays.
Saxicava (Paramya) subovata Con. Dredged in Tampa Bay.
Corbula swiftiana Ad. Red-fish Point; Tortugas.

Corbula nasuta Say. Dredged abundantly in Sarasota and Tampa
Bays.

Pandora trilineata Say. Something like one hundred and fifty living
specimens and a number of dead ones were dredged in Tampa Bay.
One or two valves were previously found washed ashore on Passage
Key. Mr. Dall supposed this to be a new species, but found, on re-
ferring to Say’s original figure and description, that it was the shell he
had named P. ¢ri/imeata, and that the heavy New England shell usually
called by that name is undescribed.

Pandora (Kennerlia) bushiana Dall. |

Pandora (Kennerlia) bushiana Dall. Rep. Blake Moll. Bull. Mus.
Comp. Zool., XII., p. 312, September, 1886:

“Shell small, with the beaks very anterior; the anterior cardinal
margin marked with a sharp keel, cutting off an almost lineal area; the
margin descends from the beaks in a straight line, the basal curve com-
mencing suddenly at a rather obtuse angle, then following an even
curve, and slightly inflexed only near the posterior tip below the short,
square-ended rostrum; the shell very thin, the left valve somewhat con-
vex, the right one concave, both sculptured with silky concentric striz ;
the margins of the two valves coincident; beaks small, hardly rising
above the long convex arch of the posterior cardinal margin; the right
valve with a strong keel on its upper posterior margin, and no other
radiating sculpture, left valve with an impressed line from the beaks to
the base, a little behind them, but which does not indent the basal mar-
gin; there is also a sharp thread from the beak to the lower angle of
the rostrum; above this thread, as usual, the lines of growth are coarse.

“Lon. of shell, 11.5 mm.; of anterior portion, 2.0 mm.; height, 5.5
mm.; and diameter about t.o mm.

“This species, which differs from all others of the group known to
me, in having the rostrum bent down instead of upward, and the pos-
terior cardinal margin convex instead of concave, was dredged alive in
six fathoms mud, Tampa Bay, Florida, by Mr. Charles T. Simpson.”

The above is Mr. Dall’s description of this new species, of which
some half-dozen or more specimens were obtained. It was sent to him
for determination, together with other small species.

Thracia rugosa Con. Long Key, one shell; mainland of Hondu-
ras, east coast, one shell. Mr. Dall thinks this may be Zhracia dic-
torta Mont.

Periploma angulifera Sby. ‘Tortugas, one shell; Egmont Key,
several shells.

Lyonsia floridana Con. Common in Tampa Bay.

72 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

Lyonsia beana D’Orb. Sanibel Island, one shell; one shell found
on the east coast of Honduras.

Mactra similis Say. West coast. ‘The most common bivalve in the
vicinity of Tampa Bay. It becomes less common to the southward.

Mactra fragilis Chem. Tampa Bay and vicinity.

Mactra oblonga Stm. West coast; rare. Several specimens were
washed up at the mouth of the Manatee River, after a storm. The
same shell was picked up on the east coast of Honduras. I cannot
separate this from JZ. fragz/is Chem., nor from shells with the latter
name and authority received from the west coast of Central America.

Mactra lateralis Say. Occasional odd valves picked up on the
West coast. A number of young living shells were dredged in Terra-
ciea Bay.

Rangia cyrenoides Desm. I have never found this shell living.
Fossil shells were occasionally collected on Egmont and adjoining
Keys.

Labiosa lineata Say. Odd valves are rarely found on the West
coast, especially the inner shore of Sanibel Island. I have a fine pair
from R. C. Stuart, locality not known.

Labiosa canaliculata Say. Odd valves often found washed up on
the West coast. Very common at Sanibel, where a few normal pairs
were picked up.

Semele cancellata D'Orb. Dredged several pairs and odd valves in
Tampa Bay. A peculiar pink variety was found on the inner shore of
Anna Maria Key.

Semele reticulata Lam. Abundant at Long Key, and occasionally
found elsewhere. At Loggerhead Key a rayed form was picked up.

Cumingia tellinoides Con. Anna Maria Key; Long Key; Tortugas.

Asaphis deflorata L. Tortugas, one shell.

Strigilla pisum \.. Key West; Tortugas. Variable in form and color.

Donax variabilis Say. West coast; very abundant on sandy
beaches. This beautiful species lives between tides, and, in many
places, every wave brings up thousands of them. As the wave retreats,
they almost instantly burrow out of sight in the sand. A single hand-
ful of sand will often contain a dozen specimens. They vary through
every hue of the rainbow, but their brilliancy soon fades on being taken
from the water.

of shells which weigh five pounds.

Venus mortoni, var. fulgurans Tryon. The shell thus named is
only a young form of the preceding, marked with chevron-shaped brown
lines, and sometimes very beautiful.

Pinna muricata 1. West coast, with P. seminuda, and in sheltered
bays. On the inside of the outer Keys, I have often found it moored
powerfully in a vertical position to a valve of Venus mortoni, and nearly
buried in the sand and mud. In this position, the ends of its sharp
ragged valves are dangerous to the barefooted shell collector.

Pinna carnea Gm. Florida Keys; rare. A few living specimens

A small brilliant scarlet specimen was dredged in Tampa Bay, and I
have a large pair from Long Key, which are a bright orange and brown.

Pecten nucleus Born. There can be but little doubt that this and
P. dislocatus belong to the same species. After a storm I picked up,
on the lower end of -Anna Maria Key, over a hundred pairs of P.
nucleus, which exhibited among them every pattern of coloring found
in either. There were pure white shells, specimens variegated with
white, orange, brown, and purple, others a uniform brown, and ashy,
dotted with white; still others were pink, scarlet, purple, and various
shades. As the young shells of P. dslocatus are thinner and less inflated
than these, I am inclined to regard this rather as a small race than the
young of that species, as has been surmised.

Anomia glabra Verrill. West coast; inhabiting dead shells. On
one occasion I found millions of these fragile shells washed up, in per-
fect condition, on the upper end of Anna Maria Key. I have it from
the east coast of Florida.

Lingula pyramidata Stimp. A few living specimens were dug out
at Long Key, on the inner shore, at dead low tide, in a bank of mud
and shells, in the winter of 1884. They were moored to shells, the
pedicel extending down several inches in the mud, while the animal
itself was found near the surface. I have found a few detached valves
elsewhere on the West coast. It is found at Norfolk, Virginia, and on
the coast of North Carolina, and is reported from Cedar Keys by Mr.
Hemphill. It is the Z. avtillarum of Reeve.

coast somewhat commonly, and which I have had repeatedly identified

Naticas of the Academy’s collection, and determined it to be new. It
belongs to the subgenus Zwnatza.

CALL — FISHES OF THE OZARK REGION. WS

MEMORANDA ON A COLLECTION OF FISHES
FROM THE OZARK REGION
OF MISSOURI.

BY ‘R:- ELLSWORTH CALL.

(Read before the Academy, May 27th, 1857.)

Tue collection upon which these notes are based was made during
a portion of the months of June and July, 1886. The major portion of
the collection, which comprised, all told, several thousand specimens,
was obtained in the West Fork of the Black River and its smaller trib-
utaries, Reynolds County; and in Jack’s Fork and its tributaries,
Shannon County —the Jack’s Fork system being tributary to the Cur-
rant River. <A smaller proportion of the material was taken in the
Piney River, Texas County, a tributary to the Gasconade. A very
small collection was made, in early June, in the Meramec River, Dent
County, a tributary to the Mississippi. It will therefore be seen that,
with the exception of the two last-named localities, the material comes
from the southern drainage of the Ozark Mountains. While present-
ing nothing new to science in the way of species, the collection is
nevertheless valuable as throwing some light upon the icthyc fauna of a
region hitherto unexplored, as well as adding something to our knowl-
edge of the geographical distribution of certain forms.

The character of the streams in which the collections were made is
worthy of mention. Without exception, the streams on the southern
slope were limpid, cold, and rapidly-flowing, with rocky and pebbly
beds. Occasionally only were long reaches of comparatively still
water, with muddy bottom, to be found. Collecting under these cir-
cumstances was difficult, and rendered doubly so by the small size of
the seine employed. Hence it was that but few of the larger forms of
fish were obtained, the major portion being shallow-water and top-
swimming species.

The region is sparsely settled, and the fish appear to be little dis-
turbed, and then only are those forms which attain a maximum size
the quest of residents. Nearly all the fish secured by the local
sportsmen are taken by the process of “gigging,” a process withal
which requires no little experience and skill. The species chiefly
taken in that manner are the small-mouthed black-bass ( Micropterus

dolomieu, Lacepede), channel-cat (Jctalurus punctatus, Rafinesque),
common red-horse, or mullet (Moxostoma macrolepidotum, Ve Seuer),
and the pickerel ( Zsox vermiculatus, Le Seuer)— locally called “moun-
tain-trout.” Each of these forms is very abundant, the bass and pick-
erel apparently exceeding the remaining two in numbers.

To Dr. D. S. Jordan, of Indiana University, my thanks are espe-
cially due for his courtesy in examining and identifying the major por-
tion of these species, and in the verification of others. Examples of
most of the species, from many of the localities named, may be seen
in the museum of the Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, and
in the United States National Museum, Washington.

REGISTER OF SPECIES.

1. ICrALURUS PUNCTATUS, Rafinesque. (134.) *
Piney River, Texas County. Not seen in the streams of the south-
ern slope, though it doubtless occurs in them.

2. CATOSTOMUS TERES, Mitchell. (170.)

Jack’s Fork, Shannon County; Tom’s Creek, tributary to West Fork
of the Black River, Reynolds County. [See Jordan’s Catalogue for
notes on the relation of this form to C. commersoni, and the use of the
name /eves.] The specimens taken were none of them over one-third
grown.

3. HyYPERTELIUM NIGRICANS, Le Seuer. (171.)
Tom’s Creek, Reynolds County; Meramec River, Dent County.
Only young specimens taken.

4. MOxOSTOMA MACROLEPIDOTUM, Le Seuer. (185.)

West Fork Black River, Reynolds County; Jack’s Fork, Shannon
County; Meramec River, Dent County; Big Creek and Piney River,
Texas County. ‘This attractive sucker is very abundant throughout
the interior of the continent. Very fine and large examples have been
taken in the Des Moines and Raccoon Rivers, in central Iowa. It
appears to be equally at home in the sluggish streams, characteristic of
prairie regions, and in the clear and rapid streams of the mountains.
It is largely used as a food-fish throughout the Mississippi Valley.

5. CAMPOSTOMA ANOMALUM, Rafinesque. (196.)

tribution —e. g., Etheostoma ceruleum spectabile— the very great varia-
tions which it presents are those of form and size, rather than of colora-
tion. The differences between the sexes are marked, and especially so
are those between the young and old males. Drs. Jordan and Gilbert
have called attention to these features in their admirable “Synopsis of
the Fishes of North America.” * This species was, with the possible
exception of the following form, the most abundant fish with which
we met.

6. CHROSOMUS ERYTHROGASTER, Rafinesque. (202.)

West Fork Black River and Tom’s Creek, Reynolds County; Sink-
ing Creek, Spring Valley Creek, and Jack’s Fork, Shannon County.
In the smaller brooks and streams this beautiful cyprinoid was espe-
cially abundant. The very brilliant hues so characteristic of the species
varied from pure white, on the ventral aspect, through all shades of
coloration to bright yellow, orange, and red. In one locality particu-
larly, in a mere rill tributary to Sinking Creek, the seine when landed
presented a leaping mass of almost indescribable beauty of coloration.
Hundreds of this richly-colored dace were taken at this locality — the
richest found during the period of exploration. ‘The males appear to
be in the excess in point of numbers.

This form was described as A/burnops nubilus, from the Rock River,
Illinois. It was placed in C/io/a by Jordan and Gilbert in their “Syn-
opsis,” and finally, for reasons stated by Jordan in “Catalogue,” p. 21,
note 1, placed in Dionda. The genus, as now limited, “is character-
istic of the Rio Grande region.” The species is the most northerly one
of the group. It was rare in our collections in Missouri.

8. HYBOGNATHUS MEEKI? Jordan and Gilbert. (214.)

Several specimens from the West Fork of Black River, Reynolds
County, and Jack’s Fork, Shannon County, appear to be this species.
It is not an abundant form in this locality, and does not appear in
the collections made at any other points. It is said by the discov-
erers to be “abundant in the Ozark region of Missouri and Arkansas.”
From this circumstance our identification may be erroneous.

9. HyBOGNATHUS NUCHALIS, Agassiz. (216.)
Piney River, Texas County, and Meramec River, Dent County.
Two specimens only were taken.

to. NOTROPIS DELIcIosus, Girard. (233.)
Rare in Piney River, Texas County.

11. NOTROPIS NOTATUS, Girard. (258.)

This species was very abundant in each of the following localities:
West Fork of Black River and Tom’s Creek, Reynolds County; Jack’s
Fork, Spring Valley Creek, Barren Creek, and Sinking Creek, Shannon
County; Piney River, Texas County.

12. NOTROPIS GALACTURUS, Cope. (262.)

This species occurred in sparing numbers in Jack’s Fork, and in large
numbers in Spring Valley Creek, Shannon County. This is the most
westerly and southerly locality yet recorded for this species. Indeed,
I am not aware that it has hitherto been reported from west of the
Mississippi. Its bright steel-blue color, when moving rapidly about in
the midst of schools of minnows, makes it a conspicuous object in the
clear mountain streams which it inhabits.

13. NOTROPIS MEGALOPS, Rafinesque. (273.)

This form occurred in every stream in which collections were made.
It is a singularly variable fish—some of its variations having received
sub-specific or varietal designations. It is described by Jordan and
Gilbert in “Synopsis,” pp. 186-187, under the name of MMJinnilus
cornutus, Mitchell.

14. NOTROPIS ZONATUS, Agassiz. (275.)
Abundant in all streams examined on both slopes.

15. NOTROPIS SCABRICEPS, Cope. (287.)

West Fork of Black River and Barren Creek, Reynolds County;
Jack’s Fork and Spring Valley Creek, Shannon County. This form
and the two following occurred rarely. Of the three, this is the most
generally distributed over the region explored.

16. NOTROPIS UMBRATILIS, Girard. (297.)

Spring Valley Creek, Shannon County. This is a little-known
species, and occurred to us only in this single locality. It was origin-
ally described from the Arkansas River.

17. NOTROPIS MICROPTERYX, Cope. (311.)

This form occurred rarely in Spring Valley Creek, Shannon County.
It is another of those mountain species now for the first time credited
to the region west of the Mississippi. It was described from the
“head-waters of the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers.”

CALL — FISHES OF THE OZARK REGION. 77

18. SEMOTILUS ATROMACULATUS, Mitchell.. (347.)

West Fork of Black River, Tom’s Creek, and Barren Fork, Rey-
nolds County; Spring Valley Creek, Shannon County; Big Creek,
Texas County; Meramec River, Dent County. This is a very com-
mon chub in all streams, specimens of maximum size occurring in
most localities where collections were made. The tubercles of the
males had not all been lost in late June.

19. FUNDULUS CATENATUS, Storer. ; (569.)

This cyprinodont was very common in all streams on the south
slope of the Ozarks, in all localities visited. It is another of those
forms which were originally described from the mountain streams of
the Alleghanies. The highly-colored caudal fins of the larger males
were an especially attractive feature of the schools when swimming
near the surface. They are powerful swimmers, often springing clear
of the seine when brought near the banks for drawing. Especially
large and fine specimens were taken in Jack’s Fork.

20. ZYGONECTES NoTATus, Rafinesque. (576.)

West Fork of Black River, Reynolds County, and Jack’s Fork,
Shannon County. Quite rare in the collections made in these streams,
and all taken evidently males.

21. ESOX VERMICULATUS, Le Seuer. (598.)

Sinking Creek, Spring Valley Creek, and Jack’s Fork, Shannon
County. This species, which is locally called “mountain-trout,” and
occasionally “pike,” is abundant in all of the larger streams in the
mountains of Missouri. It delights to quietly loiter in the shelter of
the pads of the pond-lily and in the shadows of the dense masses of
FPotamogeton, a few inches below the surface of the water. Motionless,
in such situations, it awaits the coming of the unwary minnow, when,
quicker than thought, it darts upon its prey, and, while you look,
slowly sinks from sight. There is no apparent motion of fin or tail,
but, ere you realize it, the “ravenous beauty” is gone. Its coming
to the surface is as motionless and unexpected. Happening upon a
favored locality, a somewhat deep expansion of Spring Valley Creek,
upon the surface of which were dense growths of pond-weeds, with
occasional clear spaces, one could, at any time during the early even-
ing, see a half-dozen rising slowly to the surface. It was not long
before we learned how dainty a supper a well-directed rifle-shot would
provide. Sending the bullet a few inches under the waiting fish
would throw him a yard out of the water, and before he recovered

78 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

from the shock he was seized. Neither this species nor the black-bass
would take the hook, though ever so temptingly dangled in his very
face: but the rifle, used by the botanist of the party as above de-
scribed, supplied our table with “the best the streams had in stock.”

22. AMBLOPLITES RUPESTRIS, Rafinesque. (845-)

While this species occurred in the collections in only the West Fork
of Black River, Reynolds County, and in Spring Valley Creek and
Jack’s Fork, Shannon County, it no doubt occurs in every stream in

the region traversed.

23. LEPOMIS MEGALOTIS, Rafinesque. (864.)
Jack’s Fork, Shannon County.

24 MICROPTERUS DOLOMIEU, Lacepede. (877.)

This species was very abundant in all the streams visited. In the
deeper portions of the clear, large streams, resting near the bottom,
and motionless, could sometimes be seen a score or more full-grown
specimens. Nothing could induce them to take the hook, nor were
they easily alarmed. At this season of the year they appeared to
move in schools, and when one was seen others were sure to be found
in the immediate neighborhood. This form makes nests by bringing
to a single point piles of pebbles and cobblestones, the river bottom,
in favorable localities, presenting many such piles. ‘The small-mouthed
black-bass is sometimes called “trout” in Southern Missouri, but that
name was more often applied to the pickerel, while the name “perch,”
for this form, appeared to be more commonly employed.

25. BoLEOSOMA OLMSTEDI OZARCANUM, Jordan and Gilbert. (885e.)

Jack’s Fork, Shannon County, and Big Creek, Texas County. This
very beautiful little darter occurred abundantly in Big Creek. It was
much more rare at the other locality.

26. DIPLESION BLENNIOIDES, Rafinesque. (894.)

Jack’s Fork and Sinking Creek, Shannon County; West Fork of
Black River, Reynolds County. ‘This species, usually abundant, oc-
curred but rarely in our collections. The range of coloration is
exceedingly variable, though green predominates. However, the Sink-
ing Creek specimens presented but a modicum of that color, the domi-
nating shade being yellow, with black or greenish-black sparsely-
distributed blotches. A single specimen from Jack’s Fork is almost
entirely black, with hardly a suspicion of green. This specimen, too,
was the largest taken, measuring fully five and one-fourth inches.

CALL — FISHES OF THE OZARK REGION. 79

27. ETHEOSTOMA PUNCTULATUM, Agassiz. (933.)
Occurred but once only, in a small stream tributary to Big Creek, in
Texas County.

28. ETHEOSTOMA CCERULEUM SPECTABILE, Agassiz. (936d.)

West Fork of Black River, and Barren Creek, Reynolds County;
Sinking Creek and Spring Valley Creek, Shannon County, and Big
Creek, Texas County. ‘This pretty darter occurred abundantly in each
of the above localities. Its favorite haunt appeared to be in the shal-
low and muddier portions of small brooks and streams, where it found
ready refuge under submerged leaves. In such localities it was ob-
tained in the greatest abundance, especially when the lead-line scraped
over the bottom, carrying quantities of leaves and other vegetable
debris into the seine. In its brilliant coloration it presents a most
infinite diversity, though many specimens are almost entirely black.

29. URANIDEA RICHARDSONI, Agassiz. (1320.)

Abundant in all streams, and especially so in Big Creek, Texas
County. The remarks on the coloration of the preceding forms are
equally applicable here. It is protective in a high degree, and only
the closest scrutiny enables one to distinguish the fish in its native ele-
ment. There is nothing brilliant in their coloration, but a great variety
of sombre hues predominate.

The following species were taken later in the season, in October and
November, 1886, in Bear and Hinkson Creeks, two characteristic
prairie streams in Boone County, near Columbia. ‘They are introduced
here because so little is known concerning, not alone the geographic
distribution of Missouri fishes, but also so little concerning what species
occur in the State. In these two streams, in this locality, though the
bottom is rocky, the water is turbid and sluggish:

1. CATOSTOMUS TERES, Mitchell. (170.) Hinkson Creek.

IOWA THUNDER-STORMS— NOTES FOR THE
SUMMER OF 1887.

BY FREDERICK STARR, PH.D.

(Read before the Academy, December 2d, 1887.)

THIS report is very faulty. I present it, however, with the hope that
the material it contains may not be entirely without value, and that
some one, better qualified for the work than I am, may be led to under-
take the study for another season.

These notes cover the three months from June rst to September rst.
In the spring, a circular, with sample blank enclosed, was sent to such
persons as I believed would be interested in the work. Favorable re-
plies were received from about seventy persons. More than half of
that number have really reported. It can readily be appreciated that
so small a number cannot properly report so large an area. It is hoped
that a larger corps of workers may be secured for another season. A
list of observers who have actually reported follows:

Not only is the number of reporters inadequate, but the Teports are
not always exact in the matter of time. This is of great importance,
as errors in time records render it impossible to properly combine ob-
servations in making up the history of the storm. Some reports are
valueless, on account of not being dated. The reports would be-of
much greater value with temperature observations and barometric read-
ings. New blanks should have spaces for these, although all observers
may not be able to make such record.

The circular and blanks were copied after those used by the signal
service in 1886. They read as follows:

DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.
THUNDER-STORM OBSERVATIONS IN IOWA.

M —, - , lowa.
Dear Sir: Knowing you to be interested in meteorology, from your being a

, I address this note to you, asking if you will not undertake to report all
thunder-storms occurring at your locality during this season, from June 1 to
September 1. Certain suggestions follow. The fuller the report the better,
though all the questions absolutely necessary to answer are on the enclosed
blank.

Count storms six hours or more apart as different storms.

Note the time of first thunder, last thunder, and loudest thunder.

Note direction from which the storm comes, and that to which it goes.

The “scale” of intensity of storm is: 1. Distant lightning. 2. Distant
thunder. 3. Moderate thunder-storm. 4. Heavy thunder-storm. 5. Heavy,
with high wind. 6. Tornado.

Give length of time of rain.

Catch rain in a pail or can with vertical sides, and measure with rule.

Give particulars as to amount of hail, size and shape of stones, etc. Also
time of 7¢s fall.

Much value attaches to /1d/ descriptions of clouds. Such reports are very
interesting, though not absolutely required.

Scale of force of winds: o. Calm. 1. Light, moving leaves of trees. 2.
Moderate, swaying branches. 3. Brisk, raising dust. 4. High, blowing twigs
from ground, swaying trees. 5. Gale, breaking branches, loosening chimney
bricks. 6. Tornado, destructive.

Be sure to note every storm heard or seen, even though distant; its direc-
tion and time, if nothing more. Give details of lightning strokes.

A sample blank is enclosed. Each is for three storms. When filled, they

are to be kept until five have accumulated, or until the end of the month. Then
all are to be sent on.

Use “standard” time. Be as exact as may be to the minute. Always date

carefully, and indicate morning or afternoon by A.M. and P.M. Always write
in the blank the place of observation.
Please let me knew at once if you will assist.

I enclose card for your
reply. Address

STARR — IOWA THUNDER-STORMS. 83

The last obstacle to the best results is found in the fact that the
person superintending the work is not a professional meteorologist. He
has, however, a great desire to see Iowa thunder-storms carefully studied.
He believes it to be a subject that will repay diligent work; and if this
report, faulty though it be, may stimulate interest in the study, he will
be content.

Three kinds of thunder-storms seem to be reported :

first. Storms, well defined, traveling from the west, or a western
quarter, toward an eastern quarter. Time records, properly made,
supply data for calculating the rate of progress eastward. These are
apparently connected with the general atmospheric circulation of the
United States, and occur in the southeast quadrant of a “low” area.

Second. Heat storms, local in character; not showing a progressive
movement; often unaccompanied by any wind; seldom beginning until
well on in the afternoon, or in the evening. ‘They accompany extreme
hot weather.

Third. “Squalls,” which are well characterized by Dr. Hinrichs in his
“Bulletins” for June and July, 1882. His account has been quoted by
others, but may again be copied here for Iowa readers:

“Our Iowa squalls are as serious as any on the ocean; the wind
may be destructive, but it is not lifting nor revolving as it is in the
tornado. Roughly speaking, the squall may be likened to an extended
tornado, having its axis parallel to the ground. Here, in Iowa, it gener-
ally bursts upon us from the northwest, following the southeast wind;
it rolls over and strikes down upon us, usually with abundant precipi-
tation, and soon is succeeded by the same southeast wind which it so
abruptly displaced. * * So far as I have studied them, they come
down from the northwest, progressing at the rate of twenty to fifty
miles an hour. In Northeastern Iowa, the storm has a tendency to
bend up, so as to make the squall more nearly from the west. In like
manner, in Southwestern Iowa its front bends westward, and hence
blows more nearly from the north. The storm front is fierce in its
power along a considerable distance — twenty to fifty miles, and more,
in its front, along the earth, are struck simultaneously. As the great
storm-front moves on, it can be traced for 350 miles from northwest to
southeast through our State. It is impossible to confound this storm
with the tornado, which is fortunately very restricted in its field, mow-
ing a swath of destruction, generally, in a direction corresponding to
the line of the squall storm-front, from a southwesterly toward a north-
easterly point. The tornado is narrow, local; the squall at a given

84 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

instant reaches a narrow, long, extended belt of land like a tornado
track, but this belt of destruction is carried forward with great velocity
so as to gradually sweep over a large part of the State. Again, the
squall of summer is radically different from the blizzard of winter.
The squall comes, reaches us, and after a few minutes leaves us, mov-
ing onward in its general course toward the southeast; the blizzard
blows for hours, and even days. In the squall, but a limited amount of
air comes down from the northwest, a great roll of cold and dense air
falls upon us; in the blizzard, the entire atmosphere covering several.
States is moving as one body toward the southeast.”

In June, we had a considerable number of local thunder-storms, but
few were marked by great rainfall or electrical disturbance. Local
storms are reported for every day except the rst, 15th, 17th, 22d, 23d,
25th, 27th. Some of these were reported from only one station. In
but a few cases can the storms be shown to bear relation to a well-
defined “low” area to the northwest. From the 4th to the gth, the
number of reports made show a disturbance the most marked on the
7th. A cluster of storms began on the rrth, culminating on the 13th.
On the 18th we have a “squall,” followed by storms on the roth and
2oth. The storms of the zoth are the most fully reported of the
month. On the 3oth, a number of storms are reported.

June 3d, 9:45 A. M., a storm struck Middle River P. O. It was
of brief duration, and passed from south to northeast. The light-
ning was very sharp, and two barns west of Winterset were struck;
one of them burned. In the afternoon, thunder-storms occurred
through the whole southern border of the State. The rainfall was very
small. The storm came from the southwest at all stations.

June 4th and sth. The isobares on the morning map of the 4th are
peculiarly bent, and suggest a feeble depression not represented. This
is more marked on the sth, and it is possible that the storms of those

dates are connected with it. The reports of the sth are the more
numerous.

June 7th. The storm of the 7th lies in the southeast quadrant of a
well-marked “low.” On the sth we see it forming central over Idaho,
Wyoming, and Utah. On the 6th, it has moved to central, over Western
Dakota, Nebraska, Northern Colorado, and Wyoming. On the 7th
It went east, separating into two small areas, one of which stood
over Eastern Dakota and Northern Minnesota, with Iowa to the south-
east.

On the roth there are scattering reports of a morning storm in the

STARR — IOWA THUNDER-STORMS. 85

western part of the State. Considerable rain fell— 1.83 inches at Smith-
land, beginning at 11:30 A. M.; 1.62 inches at Rock Branch, beginning
at 11:05 A.M. At Albia a little rain fell, beginning at 6:00 a. m., and
some at Tabor, beginning at 8:00 a. M. On the rith, eleven reports
show local storms of no great inportance. Only two of the reports
show wind as high as “2.” Many report no wind whatever. Little rain
fell, except at Auburn, 2.99 inches; Ft. Dodge, 2.00; Middle River,
2.65. The beginning of rainfall was: Auburn, 8:00 a. M.; Ft. Dodge,
8:00 p.M.; Middle River, 9:15 P. M.

Of the 12th, quite a number of reports are at hand. They show
local heat-storms. We have no record of temperatures. Moravia
reports g1 degrees at noon. There were some early morning storms,
but most of them came between noon and 6:00 p.m. Rainfall began:
Smithland, 1:00-2:00 A.M.; Bancroft, 2:00 A. M.; Brush Creek, 10:00
A. M.; Cresco, 10:30 A. M.; Auburn, 12:30 P.M.; Moravia, 12:45.P.M.;
Kiron, 1:00 Pp. M.; Adair, 1:54 Pp. M.; Tabor, 2:00 p. M.; Algona,
3:00 P. M.; Glenwood, 3:03 Pp. M.; Middle River, 3:30 Pp. M.; Smith-
land, 4:00 Pp. M.; Concord, 4:00 P. M.; Onawa, 5:25 P. M.; Cresco,
8:30 p. M.; Glenwood, 11:00 p. mM. The rainfalls are: Bancroft, 1.50
inches; Cresco, 1.10; Auburn, 0.48; Moravia, 1.00; Kiron, 2.50; Adair,
0.25: Tabor, 0.18; Algona, t.oo; Glenwood, 1.40; Middle River,
0.30; Smithland, 0.73; Concord, o.go; Onawa, 0.70. The highest
wind reported was at Algona—force, “3.” Most records show a calm.
Glenwood —“ Afternoon storm was a sudden down-pour from a local
cloud; very little thunder and lightning.” Kiron—‘“Storm came in
three distinct showers.” This storm was for many places a breaking
up of the great drought.

This cluster of storms apparently culminated on the 13th. Twenty-
five reports were received of this date. The storms set in a little be-
fore noon. Rainfall beginnings are reported from then till 6:00 P. M.
These are most numerous between 4:00 and 6:00 Pp. M. The times
are as follows: Albia, 1:00 a. M.; Grinnell, 6:45 Aa. M.; Amana,
9:25 A. M.; Homestead, 9:42 a. M.; Dysart, 9:10 a. M.; Mt. Vernon,
10:40 A. M.; Monticello, 11:40 A. M.; Smithland, 1:00 Pp. M.; Mt.
Pleasant, 1:15 Pp. M.; Davenport, 1:25 P. M.; Clinton, 2:00 P. M.;
Concord, 3:10 Pp. M.; Albia, 3:40 p. M.; Tabor, 4:00 Pp. M.; Cresco,
4:10 P. M.; Bancroft, 4:40 Pp. M.; Orange City, 4:46 p. M.; Auburn,
5:00 P. M.; Algona, 6:00 P. M.; Cresco, 6:00 Pp. M.; Albia, 7:15 P. M.;
Algona, 12:00 p. M. The amounts of rainfall are: Albia, 0.25 inches;
Grinnell, 1.00; Amana, 1.28; Homestead, 0.86; Dysart, 0.10; Mt.

0.03; Cresco, 0.33; Albia, 0.06; Algona, 0.05. Dysart and Monti-
cello report wind at “z;” Albia, Cresco, and Amana at “3;” others
lower: Smithland, “calm.” Notes: Concord —“Commenced at pre-
cisely same time as yesterday.” Algona —* For three days have had
thunder-storms nearly all time after noon until daylight of next morn-
ing. All have passed to northeast.” Cresco —“The above storms
seem to be a continuation of those of yesterday.” Albia — “Mag-
netic needle 15’ east at 8:00 a. M., and 22’ east at g:00 A. M.”
Mt. Pleasant —“Moderate lightning and thunder. Lightning struck
close by, in northeast, at 7:00 P. M. and at 9:20 P. M.”

On the 18th, Iowa was in the southeast quadrant of a “low” area
over Eastern Dakota and Western Minnesota. This is one of our
typical “squalls.” Hinrichs reports it as “extending over Northern
and Eastern Iowa, locally, with heavy rain, thunder, and lightning.”
Unfortunately, the time records do not admit of a “portrait” of this
storm. A few notes are here given. The day was the hottest of the
month. At Brush Creek, the temperature at noon was 102°. Clinton
—“Wind gusty, carrying clouds of dust high into the air. Rain began
in a dash, and the wind abated soon after rainfall commenced.”
Cresco—“Storm clouds passing around all the afternoon; some, with
much heavier rain than we had, passed both north and south of us.”
Algona—“ Lightning struck frequently from clouds to earth. Four dis-
tinct thunder-storms to-day; all formed high up, and went to east.
All the thunder-storms thus far in June, excepf¢ that of to-day, were
formed near by, high up, and seemed to gather force as they moved
northeast; ‘pocket clouds,’ at 6:00 Pp. M., passing from southwest to
northeast.” Ft. Dodge—“Clouds look threatening; pass away with
high wind; blue sky at 4:00 P: M.” Concord —“ Lightning in every
point, except, perhaps, southwest; a continuous storm from west and
southwest to northwest, north, northeast, east, and southeast ; Thomas
Jakonbek killed. by lightning four miles north of here, at 5:00 P. M.”
New Providence —“ Hail, north and nothwest, breaking small limbs from
trees.” Orange City —“Team killed, and driver (Wiliam Rombough,
of Hull) stunned by lightning.” Davenport —“ About noon, the storm-
line of stratus clouds was seen in the northwest, which slowly advanced
until the storm broke at 5:45 p. m.; wind furious and broken, but
storm did not seem able to pass over to the south, where a strip of blue

sky was visible all the time; ceased at 7:00 p. M., but still in the north,
and highly colored by the setting sun; at 8:00 p. m., sharp thunder and
lightning in the northwest, but the storm did not come until 1:00 A.
mM. of the 19th, when it was terrific, but without wind; showers con-

heard at 2:10 Pp. M., the second at 4:15 p. Ma. The movement was from
the north to the southeast; wind quite heavy; storm gathered in the
north and extended; very black clouds; very hot before storm; tem-
perature changed suddenly before it rained much ; heavy masses of vapor
scud across sky very low, going to south.” Davenport—“Thunder,
5:40-7:45 P. M., northwest to southeast; heavy dust storm; a second
and third installment at 11:50 Pp. M., and early in morning.” Amana
—“Six sheep killed at one time, in South Amana.” This storm was
accompanied by hail: Bancroft, 5:31-5:32 Pp. m.; Mt. Vernon, “a
few drops;” New Providence, “a little, about the middle of the storm ;”
Concord, 12:.40-12:48 Pp. M.; Ft. Dodge, 2:15-2:30 P. M., “slight;”
Marion, 4:30-4:36 p. M.; Grinnell, 4:48-4:55 p. M., “slight.” The

0.72; Muscatine, 0.68.

On the 19th and 2oth, there were a number of reports. The 21st
shows a well-defined “high” area over Wyoming, extending east, and
giving the clear, stormless weather of the 2rst to the 29th, inclusive.

The storms of the early morning of the rgth ought, perhaps, to be
counted with the storm of the 18th. Hawarden, Homestead, and
Davenport report a storm from the northwest at midnight, with rain
lasting two or three hours. A later storm traveled from Ft. Dodge
east and southeast to Grinnell, Amana, and Davenport. ‘The first

thunder was heard at Ft. Dodge at 2:30 A. M., the last at 3:30 A. M. 5
rain began at 3:00 A.M. Amana—“First thunder at 7:50 A. My last
at 9: 40: Davenport —“ First thunder at 10:00 A. M.; rain at
10: 10 a.m.” The heaviest rainfall was at Ft. Dodge—o.50 inch.
Hail fell at five and one-half miles southeast of Des Moines. Mar-
shalltown reports “a storm from the south at 4:40 P. M., with 0.48 inch
rainfall and high wind.”

The 2oth is well reported by thirty-six observers — two storms, ap-
parently, one in the forenoon, the other in the afternoon. The rain-
fall times of storm “A” are: Rock Branch, 12:30 A. M.; Seney, 1:30
a. M.; Orange City, 1:45 A. M.; Wesley Township, 2:00 A. M.;
Auburn, 2:00 A. M.; Ft. Dodge, 2:15 A. M.; Concord, 2:45 A. M.;
Smithland, 4:00 a. M.; Cresco, 6:00 A. M.; Monona, 6:00 A. M.;
Brush Creek, 6:00 a. M.; Dysart, 6:00; (Glenwood, 6:05 a. M.; Ta-
bor, 6:40 A. M.); McGregor, 7:00 A. M.; Monticello, 7:00 a. M.; Mt.
Vernon, 7:10 A. M.; Garnavillo, 7:15 A. M.; Marshalltown, 7:30 A.
m.; Homestead, 9:23 A. M.; Amana, 9:25 A. M.; Oskaloosa, 10:30
a. M.; Albia, 11:20 A. M.; Moravia, 12:10 Pp. M. ‘These indicate a
well-defined storm moving east or southeast. The distance from Seney
to Moravia is about two hundred miles; the time taken, nearly twelve ~
hours; rate of travel, sixteen miles an hour. The wind was generally
reported at “2” or “3” in force. Hail fell at Seney from 3:00 A. M.
to 3:05 A. M., where this was the “fiercest storm of the season; wind
very strong; lightning almost a continual flash all through the storm.”
At Moravia there was no wind. Storm “B” is reported that evening —
by several observers coming from the southwest or west and passing
east. Rainfall began at Cresco at 3:40 Pp. M.; at Muscatine at 8:00
p.M. ‘The average duration of rainfall was one hour. ‘The greatest
was at Monona: o.50 inch; Muscatine, 0.47. Notes: Davenport—
“Sharp thunder and lightning in north during the evening, but rain did
not fall tillin night.” Cresco felt both the above, and had a third
storm at 5:30 p. M.; “Distant thunder continuous throughout the day ;
cleared off at night after 8:00 p. M.; numerous small showers around
all afternoon and evening.” Hinrichs reports “men plowing corn killed
by lightning, one in Madison County, one in Adams County.”

The 3oth was stormy in much of the State. We were then in the
southeast quadrant of a well-marked “low,” central over Dakota on
that morning. This area combined later with another area further
west. Low pressures to our northwest were fairly prevalent until July
5th, and storms are reported locally until that date. .

STARR — IOWA THUNDER-STORMS. 89

The storms of the 3oth are very local, and apparently without con-
nection. ‘The storms came, generally, from south, southeast, or south-
west. The observer at Adair reports “very curious éursting and
branching out lightning. The storm came from west and south, and
was very threatening until nearly at point of observation, then the wind
rose and blew as a south wind till the storm was over; it then"*changed
to the northwest and blew for fifteen minutes with force of ‘4;’ at
7:05 P. M. it changed in five minutes to southwest, with force of ‘4;’
after ten or fifteen minutes it changed to east, with force of ‘2.’”

Hinrichs says of July: “Thunder-storms and rains frequent, but
generally very local. ‘The temperature rose gradually from the rrth to
the 17th, and from the 26th to the 29th. On these hottest days, heat-
storms, with rain, thunder and lightning, and locally high wind and
hail, set in, greatly lowering the temperature. Storm of the 17th was
most intense in southeastern Iowa; that of the 2gth, in northeastern
portions of the State.”

Storms are reported in July for every date except the 6th, 7th, 15th,
18th, 23d, and 24th.

July rst. Several local storms, in both forenoon and afternoon.
None show well-defined form or progressive movement. Rainfall was
heaviest at Monticello — 1.50 inches.

July 2d. Storms local—heat-storms. Out of seventeen reports, only
one gives a wind as hard as force “3;” some report “no wind at all.”
Greatest rainfall at Clinton— 0.59 inch. Moravia—“ Revolving clouds,
rolling in every direction; upper strata white; lower strata dense.”

July 3d. A fairly defined storm seems to have passed across the
State from the southwest. Times of beginning of rainfall are: Tabor,
3:00 A. M.; Bancroft, 6:30 a. M.; Oskaloosa, 10:00 A. M.; Cedar
Rapids, 11:45 A. M.; Amana, 11:50 A. M.; Homestead, 11:55 A. M.;
Mt. Vernon, 12:50 Pp. M.; Hopkinton, 1:00 Pp. M.; Monticello, 1:20
P. M.; Cresco, 1:30 Pp. M.; Brush Creek, 1:40 Pp. M.; Monona, 2:30
p. M.; McGregor, 2:45 P.M. From Tabor to McGregor is about two
hundred and seventy miles; time of passage by storm, eleven hours and
twenty minutes; rate of travel, thirty-five miles per hour. There was
no wind at Tabor; wind seems to have blown more and more as the
storm passed to the northeast. At Brush Creek, Monona, and
McGregor it is reported “high ;” at Cedar Rapids, force “4.” The rain-
fall varied. Tabor and Monona report over one inch; Amana, only
0.20 inch. Brush Creek reports “clouds very black; gale of wind, with
slight hail, at 1:40 P. M.; storm went around to north and northeast
very heavy; rain at 1:40 Pp. M.—o.60 inch in ten minutes.”

July sth. A storm from the southwest and northwest passed to east.
Time records vary. Hail fell. Tabor—“Hail small, doing little dam-
age.” Rock Branch—z2:40 to 2:45 P. M. —“Little; hail did seme dam-
ie to crops south and southwest of here, about three miles.” er
“Hail fell southeast and northeast; some damage to crops.” These
storms, whose beginnings cover time from 2:00 to 9:00 P. M., were
accompanied by some wind, as at Albia and in the hail district.

The freedom from storms of the 6th and 7th was broken on the 8th.
‘The “weather map” of that forenoon shows a “low” area to our north-
west, over Dakota and Minnesota. Its influence is seen in the number
of reports for that date. Two or three storms apparently occurred.
Lenox reports: “8:30 P. M., lightning and thunder in southwest and
northeast began simultaneously ; clouds approached each other in south-
east and then scattered; no rain here, but some eight miles south.”
Concord —“Several head of cattle and one colt killed by lightning.”
Monticello —“Considerable sheet-lightning.”

July 9th. Apparently local storms, with considerable lightning.
Davenport reports “ice-house struck and burned at Rock Island city,
and smoke-stack of wagon factory struck at Moline, between 1:00 and
2:00 A.M.” Moravia—‘ Four flashes of lightning approached the earth;
one struck a fence-post, the other three killed ten head of cattle; six of
these lay on the wires in one place, the others were twenty rods distant.”

On the roth but a single report is made. The weather map of this
forenoon shows an area of “low” in Dakota. This worked to the south-
east. On the 11th, the well-defined “low” area was in the northwest
corner of Iowa. A number of zzgf storms are reported on the 11th.
These all came from the west quarter, and were accompanied by con-
siderable wind in some cases. The rain beginnings were all between
6:00 p. M. and midnight. Reports say: Auburn—“First really severe
thunder-storm of season; storms mostly at night.” Algona—“Very
heavy thunder and lightning.” Cresco —“ Distant lightning all around
horizon after g:00 Pp. M.; bulk of storm seemed to be in the north;

temperature at g:00 Pp. M., 82°, and at 2:00 P. M., 97°, being the hot-
test of the year.”

July r2th. Night storms again from a western quarter. The rain
beginnings are mostly between 6:00 and 8:00 p. mM. A// the reports
fall between 2:00 p. M. and midnight. This storm was fairly defined,
and comparison of rainfall times shows an apparent east and northeast
movement, though there are some discordant times. The “ agreements”
are: Des Moines, 4:15 p. M.; Cedar Rapids, 4:00 P. M.; Marshall-

stead, 6:20 p. M.; Amana, 6:25 p. M.; Oskaloosa, 6:20 p. M.; Albia,
6:40 Pp. M.; Monticello, 7:30 Pp. M.; Brush Creek, 7:30 Pp. M.; Mt.
Vernon, 8:45 Pp. M. ‘Time from Des Moines to Mt. Vernon, four and
one-half hours; distance, one hundred miles; rate of travel, twenty-two
miles per hour. Wind was highest at Cedar Rapids, force “5;”
Amana, Homestead, Oskaloosa, and Brush Creek report force at “4;”
at most localities it was “2.” The heaviest rainfall was 0.55 inch, at
Hopkinton. A little hail fell at Amana and Homestead. At Amana
“one horse and two foals killed by lightning, about one mile southwest
of observer; they were found lying partly on barb-wire fence. Light-
ning also struck one house and two trees, in different localities around
here. It was the most terrific and appalling thunder-storm we have
had for years.” Albia—“This afternoon at 4:22 the magnetic needle
vibrating from 8’ east to 3’ west; motion kept up for ten minutes.”
Cedar Rapids—-“Two buildings struck, not badly damaged.”

Nineteen reports for the 13th show storms, very local in character,
beginning mainly between 2:00 and 8:00 p. M. Very little rain, and
no hail. No damage by lightning reported.

But one report on the 14th, and none on the 15th.

July 16th. Twenty-two reports received. Fourteen of these report
rain, the rest are thunder and lightning at a distance. These storms
were mainly in the western and northwestern counties. They came on
in the early evening. Eleven of the fourteen rainfalls began between
4:00 and 10:00 Pp. M. At some points two storms occurred, but the
thunder kept up between; so at Concord. Cresco reports “distant
lightning all along the west, after 7:30 pP. M., with distant thunder at
intervals; the hottest day of the year—g8° at 2:00 Pp. M., 84° at g:00
p. M. Ordinary years, such a heat would be followed by a severe
storm.” (This came before daybreak.)

July rgth. Twenty-eight reports refer to this storm in southeastern
Towa. Rainfall beginnings were from 2:00 Pp. M. to midnight, mostly
between 6:00 and 10:00, fifteen reports falling within those hours.
The rainfall times are: Moravia, 5:50 Pp. M.; Cedar Rapids, 6:00
p. M.; Oskaloosa, 6:10 Pp. M.; Albia, 6:45 Pp. M.; Amana, 6:45 P. M.;
Des Moines, 6:50 Pp. M.; Homestead, 6:40 Pp. M.; Mt. Vernon, 7:00

9:30 P. M.; Monona, 10:00 Pp. M.; McGregor, 11:00 P. M.; Garna-
villo, 11:00 Pp. M.; Denmark, 10:30 Pp. mM. The heaviest falls are:

This storm was a local heat-storm. For several days the heat had been
intense. Moravia reports “rog°, 105°, 106°, 99°, 98° for two-o’clock
observations, for several days.” McGregor —“98° at noon of 16th, 84°
at noon of 17th.” The heat at Davenport had been so great as to lead
to prayer for rain and cooler weather, in the Episcopal Cathedral. A
little hail is reported at Amana and Homestead; small fall at Des
Moines, 7:40 to 7:45 Pp. M.; considerable in vicinity of Davenport.
Garnavillo reports: “Barometer fell on 16th o.12 inch, on 17th none.
Clouds came from southwest up against and over the lower wind cur-
rent.” Monona—‘Brilliant display of lightning from g:oo P. o. till
after midnight; clouds appeared to gather from all directions; heavy
thunder during night.” Dysart —“Most brilliant lightning display in
the south, extending one-third around horizon, seen here since the
Grinnell storm; rain, only a sprinkle.” Amana—“ Four foals killed by
lightning at High Amana, four miles west; found dead at barb-wire
fence.” }

Davenport Democrat-Gazette: “The rain of yesterday and last night
extended this time over the whole of Scott County. The storm of
yesterday was accompanied by a wind that played havoc with grain-
stacks, trees, and stock-sheds in various parts of the county. Barley

and wheat stacks were tossed upon each other in places, and straw was
- scattered everywhere. Cherry and apple trees along Duck Creek
were taken up by the wind and carried fifteen rods, some farther.
Nor did wind alone do damage. ut in the direction of Mt. Joy, hail
played a prominent part in the storm. The hail that fell ranged in
size from a hazel-nut to a hickory-nut, and there were exceptional
cases where they were as large as eggs. Mr. Fritz Rohlf, a farmer
near Mt. Joy, stated this morning that he had ninety acres of oats
which he intended to begin harvesting to-day, and the hail of yester-
day stripped his oat-field most effectually. Such was the case wher-
ever it hailed. There was but little hail in the direction of Muscatine
County, but in portions of the northern part of this county a great deal
of hail fell. ‘The wind blew down fields of corn and leveled grain in
the field very much. Hilly farm land was badly washed by the driving

rain.”

July roth. A few reports show storms in the western part of the

STARR — IOWA THUNDER-STORMS. 93

State. Seney reports “very fierce flashes from 7:00 to g:00 P. M.”
Kiron —“Lightning struck and killed a heifer, three miles northeast
from here.”

July 2oth. The “weather map” shows a “low” central over Iowa,
moving east, on that day. Local storms are reported from 2:00 to
8:00 p.M. Middle River reports “lightning at 2:30 p. M.; struck in
a grain-field, raising a dust cloud.”

July 21st. Local storms, mainly in the northwest part of the State,
where the weather had been hot. Nearly all were early evening storms,
rainfall beginning, in fifteen cases out of sixteen, between 2:00 and
10:00 Pp’ M. Algona—“This storm formed high up; temperature at
12:00 noon, dry bulb, 86°, wet bulb, 83°; wind southwest.”

July 22d to 27th. Only four reports for the whole period. The
“weather map” of the 26th shows a well-defined little oval area of “low”
overlapping the corners of Iowa, Dakota, and Nebraska. Hail, doing
some damage to corn, is reported at Rock Branch. This place lies to
the southeast from this area. While this “low” was well-defined, it did
not last on into the 27th, but was dissipated.

On the 27th we have setting in a cluster of storms which culminate
on the zgth. Eighteen reports are upon the storms of the 27th.
Several refer to a morning storm in Northwestern Iowa. Rainfall
times are: Seney, 2:00 A. M.; Auburn, “very early;” Kiron, 4:00
A. M.; Algona, 4:00 A. M.; Onawa, 4:00 A.M.; Bancroft, 4:10 A. M.;
Smithland, 5:00 a. M.; Ft. Dodge, 5:30 a. M.; Concord, 6:00 A. M.;
Emmetsburg, 8:45 a. M. At Seney, “hail fell from 2:15 to 2:25 A. M.,
half an inch deep—no serious damage ; lightning very fierce through
entire storm; rainfall, 3 inches(?).” Smithland—“'Two cows killed, one
mile east. Emmetsburg—“Lightning continued sharp during the rain,
and seemed to extend all over. The clouds came from the southwest
and northwest, and met west of here, zof over here.” Five scattering
reports from diverse parts of the State relate to evening storms.
Clinton reports o.18 inch hail falling between 6:04 and 7:00 P. M.
Is not vain meant?

July 28th. Twenty-five reports. Local heat-storms. Rainfall be-
gan in all cases between 10:00 A. M. and 8:00 p. mM. At Concord and
Albia, two, and at Cresco three, storms are reported, in the day. All
these, however, began within the above time limits. No hail is re-
ported. Concord reports, “from an elevated explosion, a wire clothes-
line in Garner was melted asunder; several persons shocked.” Oska-
loosa—‘“Crabill killed by lightning; two horses killed; barn burned.”

04 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

Rainfall generally very small. At Cresco 0.62 inch fell, and at Monti-
cello, nearly an inch.
july 2oth. Heat culminated. Storms occur very early in the morn-
ing, perhaps continuation of the last. Evening storm began between
6:00 and 10:00 p. M._ This was one of the worst storms of the season.
Albia reports: “Barometer falling this afternoon; thermometer 101%?
at 3:00 o'clock, 101° at 2:00 o'clock, and 97° at 6:00 o'clock P. M.”
We were to the southeast of a long “Jow” area over Dakota and
Nebraska on the morning of the 29th. This passed over Iowa during
the twenty-four hours following, and was to our east on the goth.
Notes: Seney—“Lightning very fierce; struck an elevator here, and
knocked down and badly injured three workmen, at 2:00 P. M.; storm-
ing, off and on, all day; no wind.” Smithland—“Tree on river bank,
forty rods east, struck by lightning.” . Marion —“One inch rain; south-
west wind, ‘4.’” Algona—* House struck.” Concord —“ One cow killed,
fifteen miles southwest; three horses and two cattle killed for George
Clark, in Erin township; hard to describe storm; the severest we have
had, in wind, thunder and lightning; from commencement, at 3:30 P.
M., to 11:00 Pp. M., thunder could be heard at some point; lightning
continuous, and in all points; storm severest at 8:00 P. M.; rain at
3:30, 7:30, and g:o0o0 Pp. M.; hot wind at 6:00 Pp. m.; and before the
last rain, the clouds, coming from the southwest, were upper clouds.”
Cresco —“ Frequent and vivid lightning all evening, in all directions, |
with occasional showers, until after midnight; very warm and close be-
fore storm; a severe squall from west-northwest at 6:10 P. M., accom-
panying first heavy rain, injuring wind-mills, tearing trees, etc.” Algona
—“Second storm of day ; worst of season; at 6:30 P. M., terrific thunder
and lightning; storm went southeast, with a great roar; wind like a
gale.” McGregor —Very vivid lightning in the evening; wind changed
from southwest to northwest before the storm, being blown rapidly
across the sky; wind force, ‘4.’ Emmetsburg—‘“Clouds came up
from southwest and northwest, very black; seemed to roll until they
came together, then changed to light, smoky color, and looked like
tornado; only a puff, however; the blackness gave way to light, and
settled down to a steady rain; when the two storms came together
there was a fearful commotion; it was a pretty sight.” Algona—“Third
storm of the 29th, 9:00 p. M.; this has been’ an electrical day; thun-
der all day; though not six hours apart, these are three distinct storms;
all the storms this year come from southwest; this is strange, and never
noticed here before during eighteen years.” Cresco, Brush Creek, and

Monona report wind force as “5.” Rainfall is: Monticello, 0.87
inch; Middle River, 0.20; Marion, 1.00; Concord, 1.10; Cresco, 0.27;
Brush Creek, 0.60; Monona, 1.25; Kiron, 1.50; McGregor, 1.08; Ft.
Dodge, 1.00; Emmetsburg, 2.50; Algona, 0.55; Garnavillo, 0.75.
This storm continued on into the early morning of the 3oth. Rain-
fall beginnings are reported as follows: Dysart, 12:25 A. M.; Home-
stead, 2:30 a. M.; Amana, 3:00 A. M.; Cedar Rapids, 3:15 a. M.;
Albia, 3:15 A. M.; Monticello, 3:30 a. M.; Mt. Pleasant, 5:40 A. M.
Perhaps the average rainfall was 0.50 inch. Dysart—“6:00 to 11:00
p. M. of 29th, very vivid lightning in the north; no thunder till 1:10
A. M.; four or five columns of electricity seemed to extend vertically
to the earth from the motionless clouds that hung there for four hours.”

In August there are not so many reports as in June and July. Storms
are reported for each day, except the 6th, 24th, 26th, and 28th, but on
many days there is but a single report. A storm-cluster occurs on the
3d to the 5th, most marked on the 3d; another on the 8th to the roth,
culminating on the roth. The 13th is fully reported. On the 16th we
have several reports, and many on the 17th. A group of storms
occurred on the rgth to the 21st, most reports being received on the
2oth.

Prof. Hinrichs reports: “Thunder-storms nearly as numerous as
rain-storms during first half of month, but rare during the last —cold
decade. Much damage done to property and cattle by lightning, and
several people killed. High locally destructive winds accompanied the
thunder-storms of the roth and 13th. Hail is reported only on the 34d,
in Hancock, and very light on the 8th, in Osceola County.”

Examination of the daily weather map of the United States Signal
Service shows connection with the general atmospheric movements as
follows: Ou the 3d we were to the southeast of a “low” overlapping
the corners of Dakota and Montana. This traveled east, and on the
Ath was past us on the north. On the 5th, a well-marked “high” area
lay to our west; on the 6th it was over Iowa. No storms on that date.
On the roth, a long, oval “low” area lay to our northwest, extending
from Colorado to Minnesota, and overlapping our northwestern corner.
August 13th, a well-defined small “low” area was in Dakota and Ne-
braska, and on our extreme northwestern corner. This moved across
Iowa during the following twenty-four hours. On the 17th, a storm
gathered in a “low” center near St. Louis, Missouri. Can our storms
have been affected by it? On the zoth and arst, “low” areas lay to
the west and southwest. That of the 21st was on the corner of the

hot. Algona—‘Weather very sultry; wet and dry bulbs only 3° apart:
temperature at noon, 93°; this afternoon it is very difficult to work —
so sultry.” McGregor—“Thermometer at 92° at noon.” Dysan
“Two storms were seen gathering at 12:00 M.; the one in southwest,
the other in the northwest; they seemed to meet here, or, rather, their
extremities did, after main bodies of cloud had passed to the east.”
Clinton —“ Lightning fired a barn in Lyons, at 6:00 P. M.; also one
a half mile south of I.ow Moor.

The observer at Dysart, where a storm came from the southwest,
with rainfall beginning at 1:30 A. M. on the 5th, remarks: “Storms
that strike us in full force first appear dzrectly in the west; rain came
down very gently; the retreating cloud was visible until 6:00 A. M.”

August 8th. Only four reports of rainfall, though several of distant
thunder and lightning. These four are from the same section —re-
ports coming from Algona, Concord, Bancroft, and Emmetsburg. The
rainfall began: Emmetsburg, 11:30 A. M.; Algona, 6:00 P. M., and
again at 11:30 P. M.; Concord, 8:30 P. M., and again at midnight;
Bancroft, 11:30 p.m. High winds are reported at Emmetsburg and
Bancroft; little or none at other localities. Hail is reported at Em-
metsburg at 6:30 p. M., and at Bancroft at 11:30 P.M. At Bancroft
—“Showers passing from 6:00 p. M. till midnight.” Algona—“Light-
ning all night; thunder heavy; storm after storm, all night.” Concord
—“Two storms, at 8:30 Pp. mM. and midnight; also a continuous storm of
thunder and lightning until 2:00 a. M. of the gth; about midnight, the
German M. E. Church, in German township, was struck and badly

3:30 A. M. of 9th—only 0.09 inch fell; distant lightning, from north-
west to east-northeast, all the evening, from 8:00 P. M. to 11:00 P. M.,
and later; at 3:20 A. M., storm remarkable for the suddenness and
intensity of electricity; very vivid lightning, and roar after roar of
thunder, with deafening crash.”

August 10, a day of great heat. Cresco reports it “the warmest day
of the year. At 2:20 Pp. M., just before the storm-cloud, it was 101° in
the shade (the hottest since 1874, ‘Aen 102°).” Brush Creek —“Gale
from south all afternoon, with mercury at 104° at 2:30 Pp. M., and 100°
at 5:00 P. M.” ‘This storm, a violent one, seems to have been chiefly
confined to the east central part of the State. The beginnings of rain-
fall are as follows: Cresco, 3:15 Pp. M.; McGregor, 5:30 p. M.; Brush
Creek, 5:30 P. M.; Monona, 5:45 Pp. M.; Garnavillo, 6:15 P. M.;

p. M.; Mt. Pleasant, 11:30 ep. M. This storm came from the north-
west, and apparently traveled at the rate of eighteen miles an hour.
Notes: McGregor—‘“Strokes at 6:30 Pp. M. and at 10:00 P. M.; sev-
eral buildings struck within a few miles.” Garnavillo—* Lightning
struck telephone pole in front of house.” Wind was heavy almost
everywhere; “4” is the common report. At Oskaloosa, “tops of hay-
stacks blown off and limbs of trees broken; the only storm of the
summer to do any damage.” Garnavillo—“Strong south wind ail day;
5:30 P. M. it changed to northeast, then west; the rain came without
violence; wind west during most of rains.” Brush Creek —“ Gale from
west and northwest; gale from south all afternoon.” Heavy rainfalls
are reported from some stations: McGregor, 3.27 inches; Monona,
1.62; Hopkinton, 2.30; Monticello, 1.41; Clinton, 1.50. This be-
comes lighter, or even a “few drops” in the more southern localities.

August 12th. Reports from Emmetsburg, Smithland, Kiron, Ouawa,
Rock Branch, and Tabor show a storm in the western part of the State
on the evening of the 12th. ‘Time reports continue on into the 13th.
There is not sufficient agreement between them all to prove a well-
defined eastward-moving storm. They may be grouped so as to show
several local storms, perhaps. The time records are: Smithland, 7:00

evening and night, and some continued on into the 2oth. There is a
storm in the early morning of the zoth, between midnight and 6:00
o'clock, reported from nearly every part of the State. Wind at Ft.

in all other parts of the State, light. Very little rainfall anywhere
—o.50 inch at Kiron, 0.25 at Ft. Dodge, 0.23 at Smithland, and

reported from four scattered stations. At Bancroft, “two persons riding

In concluding this very imperfect report, I may call attention to a
few facts shown by the above:

First. \n lowa we have at least three wall-defined varieties of sum-
mer thunder-storms.

Second. Our “heat-storms” generally come between 4:00 P. M. and

midnight, but often have a a¢er installment, which comes in the early
morning.
Third. Vocal thunder-storms this year show very little wind. Fre-

quently a calm may accompany a storm of some severity.

STARR — IOWA THUNDER-STORMS. 99

Fourth. The rainfall in many of these storms was remarkably light.

Fifth. There has been very little hail this year. Small amounts
fell on June 18th, 19th, 2oth, July 3d, 5th, 26th, 27th, August 3d and
$th.

Sixth. When our thunder-storms and hail show any connection with
the “low” areas of the United States Signal Service weather map, we
are generally in the southeast quadrant of such an area, and at a con-
siderable distance from the center.

Seventh. Three cases are mentioned of dead horses found at the
barbed-wire fence. I would like reference to similar cases elsewhere.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE ROCKFORD SHALES OF
IOWA.

RY CLEMENT L. WEBSTER, STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA.

(Read before the Academy, April 29, 7887.)

Or the Devonian rocks of Iowa—and I might, perhaps, venture to
say, the United States—there is no division more interesting to the
paleontologist than the Rockford shales. The great variety and beau-
tiful preservation of the fossil species contained in them, throw much
light upon the history of the latter part of the Devonian age, in the
northern part of Iowa.

It is a significant fact that many of the fossil species contained in the
shales approach more nearly the European forms than do the forms
from the same horizon in other portions of America. Some of the
species, however, are peculiar to the shales, not being found, so far as
is at present known, in the strata of any other portion of the world;
and the fact that these beds contain some species whose extreme west-
ern limit of distribution was heretofore believed to be hundreds of miles
to the east, contributes to their interest.

In this paper I have given, for the most part, only a general descrip-
tion of the strata which underlie the shales, in order that their relation
to the shales may be understood.

The area of the shales is represented on the accompanying map.
Whether they extend north of the limit indicated on the map, I am
unable to say, as the surface is here everywhere so deeply covered by
the drift that no exposure of the underlying strata is to be observed ;
and during the Quaternary period, they were considerably acted upon
by the moving ice—so much so, indeed, that over limited areas they
were removed nearly or quite down to the underlying strata. The ac-
companying map shows also the distribution of organic remains in the
Devonian rocks underlying the shales.

The lithological characters, as well as the thickness of this formation,
are somewhat varied in different portions of its area.

At Rockford and Hackberry, it attains a thickness of from twenty-
five to forty five feet, and is made up of thin-bedded, friable, very argil-
lac cous limestones, varying in color from a light buff to a dark brown,
which disintegrate very readily, forming a hard, dark yellow or buff-

WEBSTER — THE ROCKFORD SHALES OF IOWA. IOI

colored clay, which, at Hackberry, contains numerous hard, dark red,
ferruginous concretions, varying in diameter from one to four inches.
The lowest twenty-five feet of the forty-five foot stratum at Hackberry
is blue clay, which is mostly covered by a layer of shales.

On Flood Creek, at Rudd, in Floyd County, the shales are well
exposed for a short distance in the east bank. Here the following
section was taken:

2. Yellowish brown (sometimes shaly), thin-bedded lime-

cularis, etc., and weathering to a yellow clay. This
division passes imperceptibly into No. 2......... 5 feet.
4. Grayish-buff limestone, made up almost entirely of
concretions of a harder and darker material, and
containing numerous Lamellibranchiata (none of
which are known to occur in the shales), with a few
specimens of P. woodmani and O. towensis at the
repeat the Wedsal, pie Creeks. - 20.52 Seas hkl es 9% feet.

In the bed of the creek, about one-half mile below the above local-
ity, a small quarry has been opened in limestone immediately below
number 4. Here measurements gave the following results :

1. Yellowish-buff, thin-bedded limestone.............. a feet.

2. Thicker bedded, grayish-blue limestone............. gets

Both divisions contain the same assemblage of fossils, most of which
are Brachiopoda. Only one or two of the species occurring in these
beds are known to extend upward into the higher beds.

In the west bank of this creek, three miles south of the above local-
ity, the shales are again observed. ‘The beds here attain a thickness,
by estimate, of about nine feet, and are made up of thin-bedded,
somewhat friable, brownish-yellow, calcareous and argillaceous lime-
stones, which contain an abundance of /7stulipora occidens (7).

Underlying the shales is a nine-foot stratum (not well exposed) of
limestone, which is apparently the equivalent of the concretionary lime-
stone of the Rudd section.

In the extreme south-western part of Floyd County, and the south-
eastern portion of Cerro Gordo County, the shales are much thinner,

and are less argillaceous than those portions of the beds which are ex-
posed at Rockford and Hackberry. ‘The fossils in this regiow are Mem
abundant and finely preserved. The species (Vaticopsis Se
attains a somewhat larger size and is more abundant than in some
other portions of these beds.

On a small creek, at Owen’s Grove, in Cerro Gordo County, the
annexed section was taken:

About one-eighth of a mile south-west from this locality, on the same
creek, is another limited exposure of the shales, which differ in some
particulars from those exposed at any other lovality, in that they
weather to a rather soft, yellowish-white clay, and contain numerous
Lamellibraxchiata and Gasteropoda not known to occur in other por-
tions of the beds.

Six miles east of Clear Lake, the shales are seen to outcrop on Wil-
low Creek. ‘They are here somewhat thicker bedded than usual, and
vary from a dark buff to a dark brown color; they vary, also, from
their equivalents previously described, at other localities, in being
slightly sandy. ‘he fossils are not numerous, and nearly all occur in
the form of casts.

Two miles east of Clear Lake, the shales are observed as an outlier
in a gently undulating prairie region, and present the same paleontolog-
ical and lithological character (except that they are somewhat more
friable) as at the exposure on Willow Creek.

Three miles west of Mason City, in the west bank of Willow Creek,

the shales are again finely exposed, and at this locality the following
measurements, by estimate, were taken:
1. Drift

rhe fossils contained in the shales at this place are comparatively
rare, and occur only in the form of poorly preserved casts.

WEBSTER — THE ROCKFORD SHALES OF IOWA. 103
_ Over this portion of the area occupied by the shales, the deposition
seems to have been more rapid than at other localities, and less well
adapted to the preservation of the forms imbedded in it; and, inferring
from the rarity of even the casts, the conditions would seem to have
been less favorable to the existence of life.

The blue clay at this locality, as will be observed, occupies the same
position relative to the shales as the blue clay at Rockford, hereafter to
be spoken of.

The condition and thickness of the shales in Worth County is diffi-
cult, if not impossible, to determine, owing to the unusual depth of the
drift deposit which everywhere occupies the surface. It has been re-
ported to me, however, from an apparently reliable source, that the
shales are well exposed at a locality some miles south-west from North-
wood, in Worth County. I have not personally visited this locality.

That the relation of the shales and their contained fauna to the sub-
jacent strata and its fauna may be better understood, I here give a
general outline of that portion of the underlying beds which are in-
cluded within the area mapped. The shales everywhere occupy the
higher position, being overlaid by no rocks older than the Cretaceous.

The following section, taken at Rockford (in part compiled from
Hall’s Geological Survey of Iowa, Vol. I., Part I., page 309), will show
the relation which these beds sustain to the underlying strata at this place :

104 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

At Marble Rock, the limestone beneath the shales is well exposed in
the bank of the Shell Rock, with a thickness of ten to fifteen feet or
more. and is, for the most part, a rather thick-bedded, hard and fine-
srained brittle limestone, varying from nearly white to dark brown in
color, with scarcely a trace of fossils.

The rocks which underlie the shales adjacent to Rudd are thin-bed-_

ded, fine-grained and brittle limestones, varying in color from nearly
white to dark gray, and almost devoid of organic remains.

About one mile below Charles City, in the eastern part of the county,
the beds below the shales are well exposed at the “Marble Quarries” in
the east bank of the Cedar River. The banks here rise to a height of
about forty or fifty feet above the water in the river. The upper five or
six feet is made up of rather thin-bedded, compact (sometimes brittle and
crystalline) yellowish-gray limestone. ‘The remaining portion of the
outcrop is composed of hard, thicker-bedded, yellow or grayish-brown
limestone (and sun-cracked shales), which is literally crowded with
Stromatopora, and a few species of the more common Lrachiopoda.*
At this locality is quarried the rock from which the “ Charles City
Marble” is manufactured; the rock, as well as the masses of Stromato-
pora, taking a fine polish.

On the west side of the river, one mile above Charles City, there is
an exposure of about ten feet of very hard, fine-grained and brittle
limestone, with a more or less perfect conchoidal fracture. The layers
vary in thickness from five to thirteen inches, and resemble each other
so closely that they can hardly be distinguished in hand specimens,
especially as all are unfossiliferous.

At numerous localities along the Cedar, for a distance of sixteen
miles above Charles City, the limestone is well exposed, but as it
approaches so nearly, in lithological characters and absence of fossils,
that of the last section, detailed description is unnecessary. t

On the Cedar River in Mitchell County, the rocks beneath the shales
are well exposed about one and a half miles west of Osage, the ex-
posures ranging from forty to more than one hundred feet. The layers

of Beaver Creek, and, so far as could be observed, reach a thickness of only one or two feet.
\t Nora Springs, nine miles above Rockford, the same rock is seen to have a thickness of about
even feet; while two and one-half miles south, at the ‘Old Rowley Quarry,” in the east bank of
the Shell Rock, it attains a thickness of upward of cightven feet. At these localities were col-
ected S, disjuncta, S. chemungensis, O. towensis, A. hystrix, A. reticularis, S. demissa, Strob-
tlocystites calvini, etc,

As will be seen by referring to the map, this is one of the few localities where fossil re-
onsiderable numbers, are found in the rocks underlying the shales.

are of very various lithological characters, varying from yellowish-white
and often very heavy-bedded limestone, to dark, grayish-brown crystal-
line dolomite, with but very few and poorly preserved fossils.

In the north-eastern portion of Worth County, on Deer Creek, near
Carpenter, the limestone exposed is rather unevenly bedded and slightly
friable, varying in color from yellowish-white to dark grayish-brown, and,
so far as observed, devoid of fossil remains. *

In lithological character, the rocks outcropping along Rock Creek,
in the south-western portion of Mitchell County, are very much like
those observed at the locality one mile above Charles City, in Floyd
County. The beds, however, are much thicker, and contain an abun-
dance of fossils, represented by the genera Stromatopora, Cyatho-
phyllum, Favosites, and a few of the more common Brachiopoda.*

On the Shell Rock, at Nora Springs, in Floyd County, there is an
exposure of over forty feet of limestone, the beds of which vary some-
what in lithological character, but are, for the most part, fine-grained,
compact, and more or less brittle limestone (some portions slightly
magnesian), crowded with fossils, among which the genera Favosites,
Gyroceras, Paracyclas, Pachyphyllum, Stromatopora, Alveolites,
Fenestella, Diphyphyllum, Atrypa, and crinoid remains (representing
two or three genera) were observed.t

At Rock Falls, in the north-eastern part of Cerro Gordo County,
four miles above Nora Springs, the beds below the shales are well ex-
posed. They consist of thin-bedded, hard, and rather crystalline mag-
nesian limestone, varying in color from light gray to nearly black.
The most careful search failed to reveal the presence of fossils. The
lithological character of the rocks at this place is peculiar, and nothing
exactly like it has been observed in any other part of the State. They
are all highly magnesian, but not pure dolomites, as they contain
rather more lime than belongs to the composition of the double car-
bonate of lime and magnesia. {

The following section will give an idea of the general lithological
character of the rocks underlying the shales in the region of Mason
City, in Cerro Gordo County. It was measured on Lime Creek, three-
fourths of a mile above Mason City:

* By referring to the map, this will be seen to be the second locality where organic remains
are common in the rocks below the shales.

+ Most of the species found here are restricted, in their vertical range, to the lower portion
of the exposure; while about fifty per cent of the forms do not, so far as is now known, occur in
the shales above.

In no other portion of Iowa is the superficial covering of the rocks
thinner than over a large portion of the area occupied by the four
counties mapped. Not only are the rocks well exposed on most of
the streams which traverse the region, but limited exposures are numer-
ous adjacent to them, especially in Floyd County. For this reason,
the underlying rocky strata can be studied with facility.

It may not be out of place here to give a short description of the
only rock which overlies the shales at any place, so far as observed.

On Section 6, in Township 94 N., 18 W., Floyd County, there is an
exposure of coarse-grained uniteldne, ilhentine for a short distance, the
north margin of a rather deep trough-shaped depression in the Devonian
strata. This outlier is a very coarse-grained, friable, silicious sand>
stone, interstratified with fine, angular gravel (the angles being more
or less rounded), while some of the beds exhibit beautiful examples of
ripple-marks.* This rock varies in color from grayish-white to very
dark yellowish-brown, and in some places is capped by vesicular con-
glomerate. The bed, so far as could be made out, attains a thickness
of from thirty to seventy feet, the upper portion of which is thin-bed-
ded and very much disturbed and broken up, being tilted at almost
every conceivable angle, and overlaid at one place by a grayish-white
limestone. The lower portion of the stratum is heavy-bedded, and
dips at an angle of about twenty-two degrees, in a direction a little

west of north.

The section shown by Figure 2, across this depression or valley from
north to south, will show the position which the sandstone occupies in
relation to the depression and the Devonian strata, the thin-bedded
horizontal rock representing the Rockford shales, and the heavier
strata beneath representing the subjacent limestones. The trough-like
depression, which is in part bordered by this outlier, has an easterly
trend, and finally unites with the valley of the Shell Rock. — Its average
width is about three-fourths of : a mile, and its depth from forty. to

Phis rock is rather peculiar, and nothing ex: ictly like it has been observed in other portions

f the State. I have referred it to the Cretaceous, with some doubt as to its true age, since it is

seventy feet. It is believed that this depression was at one time entirely
filled by this sandstone, and subsequently eroded by the action of the
ice and the waters derived from the melting of it, during the glacial
period.

That a better understanding of the richness of the Rockford shale
fauna and its relation to that of the subjacent strata may be gained, I
append a partial catalogue of the forms known to occur in them.* A
large percentage of the species enumerated have not been catalogued
by previous writers; but my own collection, made personally, embraces
all but one or two of the species listed, and these I have examined in
the cabinets of others who have personally collected them.

The species followed by + occur in the rocks which underlie the
shales, but do not extend upward into the shales. Some of those fol-
lowed by ? are undescribed forms, while others occur in the form of
casts, making their specific identification uncertain.

* Aside from the species herein listed, we have in our cabinet over efg/ty additional forms
from the shales, most of which are undescribed.

} The individuals of this species are exceedingly rare in the shales, and constitute the only
representatives of the genus C/adofora yet obtained here.

§ This species is not very abundant in the shales, and is somewhat limited in its geographical
range. It sometimes occurs in the limestone immediately underlying the shales.

“| This species was collected by me from the sandstone which underlies the shales, at Nora
Springs. It differs from the forms of this species collected at Iowa City, Iowa, mainly in
being somewhat larger. It is of much interest to note the wide distribution of this rare species
in the Devonian rocks of this State.

Plates of Placoderm fishes allied to Dinichthys, and the teeth of
other species of fishes. There are also the remains of at least ten
species of crinoids, many of which are common both to the shales
and the underlying limestones.

The view that some of the fossil forms found in the shales were
“drifted in,” is advanced by some geologists. I can see no good evi-
dence for this hypothesis, however. I do not, at the present moment,
recollect of a single species (with the exception of Atrypa reticularis,
which occurs in the Niagara) occurring in the shales which is repre-
sented in any other rocks, either above or below the Devonian.
Neither have I observed more than twenty or thirty species (none of
the “drifted” ones. are included) to occur in the rocks which imme-
diately underlie the shales, that do not also occur in the shales them-
selves.

The bedding of all the Devonian rocks, in this part of Iowa, includ-
ing the shales, is nearly or quite horizontal, showing no evidence of
disturbance at or subsequent to their formation. Any agency sufficient
to transport these forms from a distance, would also seem capable of
leaving a record of its action upon the shaly. beds which contained
them. But if they were “drifted in” by the ordinary action of the sea,

it is evident that they would have been too poorly preserved to be
identified even as fossils.

It is true that a few of the more common 4rachiopoda and corals
found in these beds were worn and smoothed by attrition before being
imbedded; but if those forms (mostly Lamellibranchiata) which are
supposed to have been transported had been subjected to the same
action, all traces of organization would have been obliterated.

Again, there is no evidence that any of these forms were brought in
living, as their remains do not occur outside the shales.

It seems, then, that only one inference can be drawn, and that is,
that all of the forms found in the shales were indigenous; that all of
the individuals lived, died, and became imbedded where they are found
to-day.

From the general lithological characters of the shales, it would seem
that they originated as a shallow shore deposit formed at about the
close of the Devonian age in Iowa. The organic life of the old De-
vonian sea, in this portion of its area, culminated in these beds, the
underlying rocks, for the most part, being singularly devoid of fossil
remains.

MOUND EXPLORATIONS IN NORTHWESTERN, \2
IOWA. Is

BY FREDERICK STARR, PH.D.

(Read before the Academy, Fune 24th, 1587.)

In November last, I had an opportunity of examining some remains
in Lyon County, in the extreme north-west corner of Iowa. \ These
have no great antiquity, but present some points of interest. The
locality is on the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern Railroad, a
mile beyond “LaValley” station, or “Brown's.” The spot lies near the
Little Sioux River and from it we may look across into Dakota, where
ridges with similar mounds may be seen. The remains occur on a
ridge, and consist of a great number of mounds and peculiar stone
circles.

The following description sums up my own explorations and diene
of Messrs. Nash and Cotton, surveyors in the employ of the railroad
company.

The mounds are mostly round, from thirty to fifty feet diameter, and
from three to eight feet high. Some few are oval and larger than the
above figures. There are very many of these mounds with no regular
arrangement. Upon the summit of the ridge there are great numbers,
of “stone circles.” These are made of boulders laid with some care
and sunk some distance into the ground. Some mounds are scattered,
around among these circles, but most of them surround the circle-
dotted area in a rude oval. The whole ground around the mounds
and circles is strewn with flint flakes, arrowheads, scrapers, potsherds,,
etc. Stone mauls of good workmanship are found in the neighborhood, ;

To particularize, we opened two mounds— Nos. 1 and 2—and have
most of the specimens found in two others—3 and 4. In Mound)
No. 1 the material was a hard gravel, difficult to dig. Patches of ashes
were found. At a depth of two feet was found a skeleton with headto)
the north and body stretched to the south. All the bones were found:
in fair preservation. No “relics” were discovered.

The following structure was found in No. 2: 1, gravel; 2, black

soil; 3, ashes and black soil; 4, gravel. Some fagthaties of boties
and some potsherds were Rout 3 in the second and third layers.

STARR— MOUND EXPLORATIONS IN NORTHWESTERN IOWA. Itt

Mounds 3 and 4 were alone, on a lofty ridge, south of the railroad.
No. 3 yielded skeletons of two adults and one child; also the bones of
ahorse. A pipe was found here also. Deeper digging procured another
skeleton (adult), and a dog’s skeleton wrapped in buckskin. The
relics were six iron bracelets, fifteen feet of wampum, a grinding stone
and a red pipestone pipe. The skeleton had ear-rings of copper
attached to the head. Where the copper had oxidized, the skin and
hair were preserved. ‘This very peculiar specimen is now at Burlington.
This mound was enclosed within a stone circle.

Mound No. 4 yielded a “stone wheel,” an arrowhead, a pretty little
maul of reddish granite, part of a jar, and some very /ard bone frag-
ments. A line of stones was laid across each end of this mound,
the lines being six or seven feet apart. The stone wheel deserves
description. It is perfectly true and elegantly polished. It is of a
dark, fine grain, solid stone. Its sides—z. e., top and bottom surfaces
—are concave; its rim, a perfect circle in outline, is convex in surface.
The specimen is six inches diameter and is perforated by a half-inch
hole at the centre. At the outer edge the ¢Aickness is about one and
one-half inches; at the inner edge one-half inch or less. This stone
was evidently used in some pitching game, and is as fine as any of the
southern specimens of the same kind.

Regarding the stone circles, I copy from my note-book: One, near
Mound No. 1, was elliptical. It consists of one hundred and ten
boulders, averaging a foot in diameter. They are set almost close to-
gether, and are of all kinds—quartzite, granite, gneiss, schist, etc. In
another, the stones are nearly all of the same kind. Im a third, two
feet intervene between boulders. One circle was sixty-three by thirty-
seven feet, and contained one hundred and ninety-seven stones.
Nearly all the circles have an “opening,” one to four and a half feet
wide, at the south-east. Some few are “double”—one circle concen-
tric with another. Some have “guard stones” at the openings. Some
circles are confluent, and have some boulders in common. One group
of confluent circles contains seven, of which two are “dowb/e.” These
circles are generally supposed to be lines of stones to hold tent edges
down. J am not entirely satisfied that this is so. The fact that nearly
all the “openings” are to the south-east, while the prevailing wind is
north-west, seems to favor this theory. But if it is true, how shall we
account for the circle around Mound 3, the lines of stones upon Mound
4, or the very peculiar little circle on a steep side-hill, where a great
granite boulder is surrounded by a ring of smaller boulders, not accu-

rately round, but somewhat heart-shaped? It is evident that @// are
not “tent anchors.”

A missionary of the American Sunday-school Union tells me that
stone mauls are yet common among the Dakotas, who use them in pre-
paring food. Choke-cherries are gathered, pounded to a pulp with
these mauls, kneaded into cakes, and dried. Also, a peculiar tuber,
with a structure somewhat like an onion, is gathered. The outer skin
is husked off, and the rest pounded into a meal, which is mixed with
water, moulded into cakes, and cooked. ‘These are not the only func-
tions of such “mauls.” Indian implements are remarkable for their
manifold uses.

The state of the bones, the condition of the wampum, the preserva-
tion of the buckskin, the occurrence of iron, the presence of the skel-
eton of a horse, all go to show that there is no great antiquity for these
remains. ‘The story told is of a Dakota village, populous and active;
tents of skins, anchored by boulder-stones; arts of pottery making,
stone polishing, and flint chipping, fairly developed; trade carried on
with the whites to the east; the dead buried in mounds on the out-
skirts of the town; date, fifty to one hundred years ago.

PRELIMINARY ANNOTATED CATALOGUE
OF THE BIRDS OF IOWA.

BY CHARLES R. KEYES AND H. S. WILLIAMS, M.D.

Read before the Academy, December 30, 1887.

In presenting the following catalogue of the Birds of Iowa it is pro-
posed to offer a preliminary statement of a more extended account of
the birds of the State, now in course of preparation. It is hoped that
Iowa students and collectors who are interested in ornithology, and in-
to whose hands this paper may fall, will give all possible aid both by
furnishing notes and local lists, and by the loan of such specimens as
may be desired for examination. It should be borne in mind that only
such species are inserted as have come under the personal observations
of the writers; and, for the most part, skins or mounted specimens of
the species herein enumerated, are to be found in their collections.
While there have been species observed which it has been hitherto im-
possible to secure, it has been thought advisable not to list them until
there is material in the collections which would corroborate any state-
ments made in regard to them. For this reason a number of forms
which, in all probability, occur within the limits of the State have not
been mentioned.

The observations, of which the present paper is a résumé, were made
chiefly in the vicinities of Charles City, Des Moines, and Iowa City;
and these have been supplemented by notes made by the writers at
various times in different parts of the State. The dates of arrivals and
departures are based entirely upon studies conducted in the vicinage of
Des Moines. Although possessed of extended notes from other parts
of the State upon the appearance in the spring and departure in the
fall of the various species of birds, the notes from Des Moines have
been exclusively used because of its central location in Iowa, and,
therefore, representing nearly a mean for the arrivals and departures
over the whole State.

The nomenclature and classification is that adopted by the American
Ornithologists’ Union, in its check list of North American Birds. Ref-
erence, by number, is also made to Baird’s Catalogue of North Ameri-

can Birds, 1858, (B); Ridgway’s Catalogue of 1881, (R); Coues’

hawk or crow. A nest found on April 15, 1882, was situated in a
small tree in a deep ravine, and was supported only by a few
small twigs, at a height of about twenty feet; it contained five
slightly incubated eggs. ‘The female was on the nest when discovered,
but quietly glided away when the tree was struck with a stick. On the
29th of the same month, two more nests were discovered, and a few
days later, another. The first of these three nests was placed about
fifteen feet from the ground, in the top of a small oak, and contained
three fresh eggs. The second nest contained four newly-hatched
young and two eggs nearly incubated; there were, within thirty yards
of this nest, a crow’s nest with young, and a nest of Cooper’s hawk
with three eggs. The manceuvers of the parent owls were quite com-
ical. When the ascent to the nest commenced both birds tumbled to
the ground feigning injury, and began a series of very plaintive notes,
somewhat similar to the whining of young kittens; at the same time
their wings were expanded around the body, and a furious snapping of
the beaks indulged in—a characteristic exhibited by the young of both
this species, the great horned and other owls, even before they leave
the nest. The nest found May 3d, contained four young, nearly fledged.
A week later, all with the exception of one had left the nest. A
number of nests of this species examined recently each contained five
eggs, which would seem to be the usual number.

At Charles City, a long-eared owl was picked up on the prairie, sev-
eral miles from any woods; it was not injured, yet allowed itself to be
taken with the hand.

Genus BUBO CuvVIER.

[B 48, R 405, C 462, U 375-]

Bubo virginianus, (Gmel.). Great Horned Owl. Resident; com-
mon in the heavy timber bordering the streams. The eggs are laid
about the middle of February, and are usually two in number. Of
eight nests taken in the immediate vicinity of Des Moines, all con-
tained two eggs each, except one, which contained three. The young
are fledged by the first of May. The nest is usually a shallow depres-
sion in the bottom of a cavity of some tree; or sometimes an aban-
doned hawk’s nest is selected. An instance of the former nesting-site
was presented February 17, 1883, near Des Moines, the place selected
being a large sycamore tree. The cavity was about three feet in diam-

eter, and of about the same depth. ‘There were three entrances, a

small and narrow one at the top, and two circular ones at the side, the
depression containing the eggs being near one of these lateral open-
ings. The bottom of the cavity consisted of decayed wood, which was
nearly hidden by snow. Scattered around were a dozen or more tail
feathers of the owls; the skull, several bones and bits of fur of a rabbit;
the leg of some large raptorial bird, and the remains of several smaller
birds besides a recently-captured pigeon.

The great horned owl occupies the same nest year after year, and
even if the nest be disturbed and the first set of eggs taken, often de-
posits a second set in the same nest. A pair of young, just about to
leave the nest was taken on May 2, 1882, and kept for three years con-
fined ina barn. About the middle of June the “horns” began to ap-
pear, and in three or four weeks were quite conspicuous. These birds
were fed on fresh beef and rats—the latter they usually captured.

FAMILY TYRANNIDAE. TyranrT FLYCATCHERS.

Genus TYRANNUS CvvIER.
[B 124, R 304, C 368, U 444.]

Tyrannus tyrannus (Linn.). Kingbird. Summer resident; com-
mon from the last week in April to the third week in September. There
is a general impression prevailing among agriculturists that this species
captures and destroys many honey-bees, but “it destroys a thousand
noxious insects for every bee it eats.” (Cowes). Nests in orchards and
swampy woodland.

[B 126, R 306, C 370, U 447.]

Tyrannus verticalis Say. Arkansas Kingbird. No personal obser-
vation has been made on this species in Iowa. Mr. Allen, in his notes
on the birds of western Iowa, states that “at Boonesboro a pair of
large flycatchers were seen in the timber, which I scarcely doubt were
of this species. Having no gun with me at the time, I was unable to
get them, and did not meet with them elsewhere.”

Genus MYIARCHUS Cazanis.

rocks, and similar sites. The eggs of this species are usually recorded as
pure white and unmarked. From the personal examination of nearly two
hundred nests, it would seem that at least one-fourth of the eggs were
marked with reddish-brown spots. The occurrence of spots upon eggs
normally without markings is not unfrequently noticed among the eggs
of the common barn-yard fowl; and it is also recorded of the robin

and other species.
Genus CONTOPUS Casanis.

LEmpidonax acadicus (Gmel.). Acadian Flycatcher. Summer res-
dent; not common. Several nests have been taken near Des Moines
during the past few years. One found May 26, 1881, was composed
of dry grasses, catkins, and spider-webs, and was pendant. It was at-
tached to the forks of a small horizontal branch, about seven feet from
the ground.

Cyanocitta cristata (Linn.). Blue Jay. Resident; abundant. No-
torious for its thievish propensities. The writer has seen the larger
part of a bushel of hazel nuts disappear from a shed-roof in a very
short time —all carried away by the jays. During the spring and fall
large flocks of these birds—often three or four hundred in number —
have been observed flying northward and southward, with every indica-
tion that they were migrating. In nest-building, this species has been
observed to procure materials by breaking off with its beak the dead
twigs of a tree in the proximity of the one in which the half-completed
nest was situated.

Genus XANTHOCEPHALUS Bonaparre.
[B 404, R 260, C 319, U 497.]

Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus (Bonap.). Yellow-headed Black-
bird. Summer resident; not common in the eastern portion of the
State; abundant in central and northern portions. Arrives the third
week in April, and commences breeding about a month later. Ample
opportunity for studying the breeding habits of this species is afforded
by a large prairie marsh a few miles from Des Moines. A colony of
several hundred of these birds has occupied this marsh for a number of
seasons past. Long before a single bird is seen the harsh, unpleasant
chorus, issuing from the middle of the marsh and heard amidst the
notes of thousands of red-wings, proclaims the arrival of the yellow-
head. Nidification begins three or four Weeks later. The nest is a
large, bulky structure, composed chiefly of the dry leaves and small
stems of Indian rice (Zézania aguatica ), and lined with the tops of the
same plant; it is loosely woven around the standing rice stems, or
often around the growing stems of the bulrush (Scirpus validus ), and
is placed three or four feet above the water. The eggs are four or five
in number, often only three, and occcasionally six.

Genus AGELAIUS VIEILLor.
[B 401, R 261, C 316, U 498.]

A gelaius pheniceus (Linn.). Red-winged Blackbird. Summer res-
ident; abundant. Arrives about the middle of March and departs
about the middle of November. Its arrival is heralded by the appear-
ance of a few males, in company with the rusty blackbirds; a few days
later large flocks arrive. In the fall it associates promiscuously with
the rusty blackbird and bronzed grackle, together forming flocks of
many thousands, which wander about in woodland and corn-fields until
the departure for the south. The nest is usually placed in a tuft of
sedges a few inches above the water in a marsh; but often situated
ten or fifteen feet from the ground, in willows bordering the streams.
This species has been taken at Charles City, in December.

Genus STURNELLA VIEILLOoT.

[B 415, R 271, C 326, U 507.]

Icterus galbula (Linn.). Baltimore Oriole. Summer resident ; com_
mon from the first of May until September. Its pensile nest is usually
attached to the twigs of a drooping branch of some tree. On one
occasion bits of twine and strips of colored cloth were placed in the
grass near a tree in which a pair of orioles were building a nest, and in
the course of a few days we were in possession of a very interesting
specimen of avian architecture, gay with many colors.

Genus SCOLECOPHAGUS Swainson.
[B 417, R 273, C 331, U 509.]

Scolecophagus carolinus (Mill.). Rusty Blackbird. Spring and fall
migrant; abundant from the middle of March to the middle of May,
and from the middle of October to the middle of November. In
woodland when alarmed a whole flock, numbering several hundred,

will fly to the top of some tall tree and begin a loud, harsh vocalization,
which may be heard for a great distance.

Genus QUISCALUS VIEILLort.
SuBGENuS QUISCALUS.
[B —, R 278 4, C 337, U 511 3.|

Quiscalus quiscula eneus (Ridgw.). Bronzed Grackle. Summer
resident; abundant from the middle of March to the middle of Novem-
ber. In the spring it is not an uncommon sight to see a score or more
of these birds following the plow and devouring the grubs and insects
that are upturned. In the fall it mingles with the rusty and red-winged
blackbirds, frequenting the corn-fields in large flocks.

“The autumnal migrations of /cferide@ at Burlington, Iowa, are notable
chiefly on account of the immense flocks of certain blackbirds. which

KEYES AND WILLIAMS—BIRDS OF IOWA. 139

congregate in that vicinity. The extensive swamps bordering the Mis-
sissippi River above and below the city, on the Illinois side, form an
especially favorable rendezvous for these birds, three species of which
are represented nearly in equal numbers— Quzscalus guiscula eneus,
Scolecophagus carolinus, and A gelaius pheniceus. During September
and October, the corn-fields of Iowa are visited by countless numbers
of these black marauders, which wander about in mixed flocks of sev-
eral thousands, passing the day in the fields, and the nights in the wood-
land or marshes. And it is during this period that so many thousands
are poisoned and killed by the farmers. About the first of October,
these birds begin to appear from the more northern districts, pouring
into the Burlington swamps in myriads, and by the middle of the
month immense numbers have here collected. Just before sunrise vast
flocks begin to rise out of the swamps and radiate in all directions to-
wards the inland corn-fields, where they spend the day, returning again
to the swamps before sunset. These flocks are often a quarter of a
mile in width, and are more than an hour in passing —a great, black
band slowly writhing like some mighty serpent across the heavens, in
either direction its extremities lost to view in the dim and distant hor-
izon. Not unfrequently three or four such vast flocks are in sight at
one time. How far away from their night retreats they wander each
day has not been observed; an hour and a half before sunset, twelve
miles away from the river, the mighty armies of blackbirds are still seen
coming over distant hills and directing their courses toward the marshes.
It is evident, however, that many miles are daily traversed in their
journeys to and from their feeding grounds. Making liberal deductions
for any possibility of over-estimating, the numerical minimum of indi-
viduals in a single flock cannot be far from twenty millions.” *

lar in the northern than in other portions of the State. It arrives from
the north about the last of November, and remains until May. A
flock of these birds spent the winter of 1886-7 in the vicinity of Iowa
City, and chiefly around the State University. The movements of a
flock of more than one hundred individuals which livened the campus
for nearly ten weeks, were watched with deep interest. During its

sojourn, twenty fine specimens were secured, several of which were
dissected for the purpose of further determining the nature of the food
of this interesting species. “About the middle of December several
were observed a short distance north of the city, but it was not until
the first of February that they began to court the society of man and
appear in the principal streets. When first noticed in the town, there
was a flock of twenty-five or thirty feeding upon the samara, or key-
fruits, which were still attached to the branches of the box-elders. The
kernels of the keys were quickly and adroitly removed, and the refuse
allowed to fall upon the snow beneath, which, after a short time, was
thickly strewn with the remains of the feast. On the 23d of February,
a flock of over one hundred suddenly appeared on the University
campus, and, after remaining an hour or more, departed. From this
date until the 30th of April—nearly ten weeks—it was their custom to
visit the campus and remain until noon, when they would fly away and
spend the remainder of the day elsewhere. During their stay, the food
of these birds consisted chiefly of the samare@ of the box-elders and
sugar maples, the young leaf-buds of various trees, seeds, and grain; to
obtain the latter the whole flock would often alight on the ground and
eagerly devour the scattered grain. As spring advanced they were
usually seen, especially early in the morning, in the top of some tree,
singing or chattering noisily, thus attracting the attention of nearly
every passer-by. ‘Their loud, clear, rather harsh, piping notes, uttered
in concert, reminded one forcibly of the familiar chorus of the rusty
blackbirds in the spring, and have also been likened to the shrill piping
rising from some frog-pond on a quiet summer evening.” * This species
has appeared in the vicinity of Iowa City on two different occasions,
February, 1884, and the winter of 1886-7. It is also reported from
Charles City in March; Grinnell, December, April, and May; and at
Burlington in the southeastern part of the State.

Calcarius pictus (Swains.). Smith’s Longspur. Migratory; com-
mon. Appears about the middle of April, in companies of fifty or
more, and frequents old “stubble” fields. In crossing a field, a bird
suddenly darts out from nearly under the feet of the observer, and flies
upward, nearly perpendicularly, almost out of sight. A few steps
further, and a couple of more do likewise, and, shortly after, again,
several others. After a few minutes they drop to the ground, three or
four hundred feet in advance. As they rise they give utterance to
their peculiar notes, and, on alighting, begin feeding again, unconcern-
edly. By cautiously advancing, several may be secured. Upon dis-
section, the food is found to consist of grain and seeds of various weeds.

Genus PEUCA2A AuDUBON.
[B 370, fart, R 226 a, C 252 U, 575 2.

Peucea estivalis bachmanii (Aud.). Bachman’s Sparrow. This
species is entered here upon the following data: On the 2d of June,
1884, Mr. J. B. Green, of Des Moines, while collecting, several miles
east of the city, passed through several fields in search of the eggs of
the yellow-winged sparrow, and other ground-nesting species which
were known to breed there. Mr. Green says: “I had passed through
a corn-field and had just entered a field of clover, when I started from
nearly under my feet, a sparrow somewhat larger than a yellow-winged,
but not having my gun with me, I was unable to secure it. “After a
brief search I discovered a nest containing five white eggs, which being
without markings, I knew did not belong to a Coturniculus,; but not
wishing to take the eggs without, at least, a good look at the bird, I
continued hunting for other nests, while awaiting its return to the nest.
After a time I returned, with more caution than before, and again
flushed the bird, but this time I succeeded in noting more carefully its
appearance, which, on arriving home, and taking into consideration the
eggs, corresponded with Peucea e@estivalis bachmanit. The nest was
placed in a slight depression at the base of a tuft of clover, and was
composed of dry grasses, lined with finer materials and a few hairs.”

Two of the eggs were sent to Professor J. A. Allen for further iden-
tification. Mr. Allen replied:

“T have compared the eggs with those of Peucaa estivalis, P. cas-
sini, and P. carpalis, and with those other species laying white, or
whitish eggs. Taking into account the situation of the nest—on the
ground—and the geographical distribution of the other species of
Peucea, and the few other species of finch which lay white eggs, I
should say that your conclusions that these eggs are those of P. @sfi-
valis bachmanii is highly probable—in fact, almost beyond question.
I find, however, that the eggs sent are absolutely indistinguishable from
those of P. carpalis, to which, of course, for geographical reasons, they
cannot belong; and they are also indistinguishable from eggs of Poospiza
(Amphispiza) belli, which is a species likewise out of the question, for
geographical reasons. The eggs of P. @stivalis are a little larger, and
a purer, glossy white, as are also those of 2. cassini, differing from the
eggs of both of these species quite markedly in both of these particu-
lars. Your eggs have a slight bluish cast, and in this respect, and in
size, also similar to the eggs of Cyanospiza cyanea. Had not the nest
been placed on the ground, I should have said that they were eggs of
this species. If P. estivalis bachmanii occurs with you, it would

seem that they mast be the eggs of that bird. And the only question
I can see about them is whether they may not be those of Cyanospiza
cyanea; but the position of the nest seems to render this improbable.”

mon from the 2oth of April to the middle of May, and from the middle
to the last of October. It frequents the underbrush in open woodland,
where it is found in scattered flocks, in company with other sparrows.

[B 369, R 233, C 243, U 584.]

Melospiza georgiana (Lath.). Swamp Sparrow. Common spring
and fall migrant, arriving about the middle of April, and in the autumn
in September. Doubtless breeds in the State, in wet and marshy
ground.

Genus PASSERELLA Swarnson.
[B 374, R 235, € 282, U 585.]

Passerella iliaca (Merr.). Fox Sparrow. Spring and fall migrant;
abundant. Arrives the last week in March, and remains about a month;
in the fall it is noticed from the first to the last week in October. This
species, in size and color, resembles some of our thrushes, and, as its
habits and haunts are not unlike those of the 77dide, it might readily
be mistaken, at first sight, for a member of that family. Its arrival is first
made known by the appearance of a few individuals in open woodland,
but in three or four days it becomes common and wanders about in

scattered flocks.
Genus PIPILO VIEILLorT.

[B 391, R 237, C 301, U 587.]

Pipilo erythrophthalmus (Linn.). Towhee. Summer resident;
common; arriving the last week in March, and departing in October.
It frequents the open woodland, where it usually nests on the ground,
under some bush, but sometimes the nest is placed in a shrub.

Genus CARDINALIS Bonaparte.

[B 390, R 242, C 299, U 593-]
Cardinalis cardinalis (Linn.). Cardinal. Not common. Only
occasionally seen in central Iowa, but noticed more often in the
southern portion of the State. It has been taken in the latter part of

December, at Iowa City.

Genus HABIA REICHENBACH.
[B 380, R 244, C 289, U 595]

Habia ludoviciana (Linn.). Rose-breasted Grosbeak. Summer
resident: common, arriving the last of April, and remaining until the
last of September. It nests in orchards and open woodland in the
vicinity of streams. The nest is placed at various heights —from eight
to forty feet from the ground —usually from ten to twenty. The eggs
are generally four in number, often three, and occasionally five. In
this vicinity it has never been found nesting in bushes, as has been
reported from many other localities. A fine albino of this species was
taken at Des Moines in July, 1885. The elegant plumage and melodious
song makes this species very desirable as a cage bird.

Genus PASSERINA VIEI~tLor.
[B 387, R 248, C 295, U 598.]

Passerina cyanea (Linn.). Indigo Bunting. Summer resident ;

common from the first week in May until September.
Genus SPIZA BoNAPARTE.
[B 378, R 254, C 287, U. 604.]

Spiza americana (Gmel.). Dickcissel. Summer resident; abun-
dant from the last of April until October. It is one of the most familiar
species of the fields and meadows, where it may be seen perched upon
the top of some weed or small tree, uttering at short intervals its
monotonous notes.

Famity TANAGRIDZE. TANAGERS.
Genus PIRANGA VIEILLor.
[B 220, R 161, C 154, U 608.]

Piranga erythromelas Vieill. Scarlet Tanager. Summer resident;
common. In central Iowa it arrives about the last of April, and remains
until the middle of September. A rather retiring bird, usually met
with in the timber bordering the streams. Breeds about the last of
May. ‘The nest is usually placed upon a horizontal limb, thirty or
forty feet from the ground, and almost invariably contains, besides its
own eggs, from one to three of the cowbird (Molothrus ater ).

[B 221, R 164, C 155, U 610.]

Piranga rubra (Linn.) Summer Tanager. Rare. During the
season of 1880, this species was observed at Des Moines, and three
nests with eggs taken, but since then has not been noticed in that
vicinity. One of the nests taken July 23d, contained two eggs about
half incubated. The nest was placed on the horizontal limb of an elm
tree in a rather open grove, and was about fifteen feet from the ground.

KEYES AND WILLIAMS—BIRDS OF IOWA. 147

Eggs similar to those of P. erythromelas. Both birds came within a
dozen feet of the intruder, and were distinctly seen. The absence of
the black of the tail and wings of the male and the whitish bill were
points noticed as unequivocally distinguishing this species from its near
relative. The other two nests each contained three eggs, and were
taken in the immediate vicinity of the one just mentioned.

FamMILy HIRUNDINIDZE. Swattows.
Genus PROGNE Bolte.
[B 231, R 152, C 165, U 611.]}

Progne subis (Linn.). Purple Martin. Summer resident; abun-
dant. In central Iowa it usually arrives the last week in March, and
departs before the middle of September. The eggs are laid the last of
May. After the young are fledged the birds assemble in flocks, usually
selecting some large dead tree as a place of rendezvous, the young
birds remaining most of the time on the tree, and are fed by the old
ones. This is continued until the young are able to take extended
flights. They constantly increase in numbers until they depart for the
south. A marked instance of this kind occurred at Des Moines in
1884. Towards the last of August, the martins began to gather around
the spire of the First Methodist Episcopal Church. Their numbers
daily increased until there were many hundreds. For several days the
spire was literally black with the birds clinging to the sides and to
every projection that afforded them a support. Many were continually
dropping off and sailing away for a short flight, while others took pos-
session of the places vacated. They remained in this way for several
days, and then suddenly took their departure—for the next day not a
bird was seen. After the flock had disappeared but few martins were
noticed, and they were stragglers from elsewhere.

Gentes PETROCHELIDON Cazanis.
[B 226, R 153, C 162, U 612.]

Petrochelidon lunifrons (Say.). Cliff Swallow. Summer resident;
abundant from the first week in May until September. It nests in
large colonies, under the eaves of barns and old mills. Nidification
commences about the zoth of May. It is frequently noticed flying
about over the prairies, far away from any habitation.

Genus CHELIDON Forster.
[B 225, R 154, C 159, U 613.]

nest is attached to the rafters of old barns, or is placed under a bridge.
The eggs are laid the last week in May. In the spring when it first
pivess. it is seen skimming over the surface of ponds in company with
other swallows, and is not unfrequently noticed flying over the fields at
some distance from dwellings.
Genus TACHYCINETA CaBanIs.
[B 227, R 155, C 160, U 614.]

Tachycineta bicolor (Vieill.). Tree Swallow. Summer resident ;
rather common. Arrives about the first of May, and departs about
the middle of September. Nests in cavities in trees, and boxes. In
the spring it appears In company with the barn swallow.

Genus CLIVICOLA ForsTER
[B 229, R 157, C 163, U 616. |

Clivicola riparia (Linn.). Bank Swallow. Summer resident ;
breeds abundantly in all parts of the State. A few miles above Mus-
catine a large colony of these birds occupies the perpendicular side of
a deep excavation in a hill-side; the bank is literally honeycombed,
and thousands of swallows flying about reminds one, at a distance, of a
swarm of bees. Considerable confusion appears to exist among many
observers, who confound this with the following species.

Grnus STELGIDOPTERYX Batrp.
[B 230, R 158, C 164, U 617.]

Stelgidopteryx serripennis (Aud.). Rough-winged Swallow. Sum-
mer resident; abundant, arriving about the middle of Apmil. In cen-
tral Iowa, especially in Polk and the contiguous counties, this species
is quite abundant, almost to the exclusion of the bank swallow. The
nests are usually built in the alluvial banks of the streams, or in the
sides of gravel pits and in road-cuts. Several years ago, three nests
were taken in a cut which afforded a bank less than three feet in height.
In the spring after its arrival, it may be seen flying about in the vicinity
of the banks which it has selected for its future home. Usually
there are ten to fifty or more pair occupying, with a few bank
swallows, a cliff on a bend in a river. About the first or second
week in May they commence excavating, for a nest, a hole to the
depth of two or three feet. At the terminus of the excavation is placed
the nest, which is usually composed of bits of hay and grass taken from
a barn-yard. By the first of June the full complement of eggs—from
five to seven—is laid; the period of incubation is about two weeks.
A little careful observation will enable almost any one to distinguish

between this species and preceding, even when on the wing and at
some distance,

Ampelis cedrorum (Vieill.). Cedar Wax-wing. Spring and fall
migrant; abundant, and resident in small numbers throughout the year.
In the fall it is noticed in abundance towards the last of October, feed-
ing upon berries, with the juice of which its plumage, at this season, is
much soiled. In the spring it is usually seen in small flocks towards
the last of March or early in April. It appears in the orchards, feed-
ing upon the apples which happen to be left upon the trees, and fre-
quently alighting on the ground below and gorging itself with the decay-
ing fruit. At Des Moines it is observed all. the year. Nesting is
postponed until late in the season, seldom being commenced before the
first of July. Eggs have been taken at Iowa City, Charles City, and
other localities in the State.

Lanius borealis Vieill. Northern Shrike. Winter resident. Not
uncommon from the last of October to March. When seen, it is usually
solitary, and perched upon the topmost twig of some tree along road-
sides. ‘This and the next species are often confounded, and it has sev-
eral times been reported as breeding within the limits of the State.

Lanius ludovicianus excubitorides (Swains.). White-rumped Shrike.
Summer resident; rather common. Begins nesting about the last of
April; probably raising two broods in a season. On several occasions
the full complement of eggs has been taken in the middle of June, after
the earlier birds of the season are fledged and able to take care of
themselves. The osage orange hedges are favorite nesting sites for
this species. The nest is rather large, composed of sticks, twigs, leaves,
hair, and an abundance of feathers. The eggs are usually six in num-
ber. When the young are fledged, it is not uncommon to see the whole

attached to the horizontal limb of some forest tree. The nest of this,
species is one which the cow-bird especially selects as a repository for

its parasitic eggs.
[B 244, R 138, C 173, U 626.]

Vireo philadelphicus (Cass.). Philadelphia Vireo. Migratory; com-

companies, moving in leisurely flights through the tops of the trees
along the water-courses, and associating with various species of warb-
lers. In the fall it appears about the first of September.

Vireo flavifrons Vieill. Yellow-throated Vireo. | Spring and fall
migrant; common. Also summer resident. It appears about the first
week in May, and departs about the first of September. At Des
Moines it is a very rare summer resident— only one nest having been
taken. ‘This one was discovered on the 25th of June, 1881, in a ravine
a short distance west of the city limits. The nest was pendulous—
like the structures of the other species of Vireo—dotted over with
little balls of cotton-like material and spider-webs. It was attached to
the forks of a horizontal branch of a large white oak, some twelve feet
from the main trunk, and twenty feet from the ground. It contained
two newly-hatched young, and one egg with a well-developed embryo.
The female was very courageous, and, though the branch on which the
nest was situated was shaken quite violently several times, remained on
her treasures so long that she barely escaped capture by the intruder.
As soon as his hand was withdrawn, she was back again on her nest.

Vireo bellit Aud. Bell’s Vireo. Summer resident; common. “This
is, perhaps, the most familiar summer resident of the genus. No
other woodland bird appears to be so completely satisfied with so
narrowly restricted a vertical range as this retiring and unobtrusive little
greenlet. Though for the most part unseen, its voluble little melody,
earnest and plaintive, ever betrays its presence in every hazel copse
and garden. Its neat, pensile nest is suspended from the branchlet of
some low bush, and here its eggs, four or five in number, are deposited
the last week in May. One nest containing four eggs was found in a
small bush situated within eight feet of a railroad track over which cars
were passing continually, and, notwithstanding the violent swaying of
the bush caused by the strong currents of air created by each rapidly-
moving train, the young birds were successfully reared.” *

Genus HELMINTHOPHILA Rineway.
[B 180, R 79, C 98, U 641.]

Helminthophila pinus (Linn.). Blue-winged Warbler. Common
migrant, and in part, summer resident. Arrives the first week of May,
and remains until September. At Prospect Park, near Des Moines, a
nest of this species was discovered on the 11th of June, 1884. The
attention of the observer was first attracted by a male of this species
moving restlessly about through the trees at the edge of an open field,
overgrown with long grass and weeds. After watching the movements
of the bird a few minutes, the observer started to cross the field, but
when about thirty feet from the woods, a bird flew from almost beneath
his feet. A nest containing three eggs was soon disclosed, but, as the
identification of the bird was not beyond doubt, the place was visited the
next day, and a female of this species captured on the nest. The nest,
a beautiful example of avian architecture, was built in the grass at the
foot of a weed about three feet high; a broad leaf of the plant spread
directly above the little structure, effectually concealing it from view.
It was composed of dry oak leaves as a foundation; upon this
were numerous rootlets and stems of plants interwoven with the sur-
rounding grass, and lined with finer materials. It contained four fresh
eggs—rosy white, before the contents were removed, dotted with spots
of reddish-brown, and a few of lavender.

week in September. It frequents rather open woodland, and seems
to be extremely partial to the hawthorn trees. Its plumage — greenish-
yellow, or olive, is nearly the same hue as that of the young foliage of
the hawthorn, so that the birds are likely to be passed by unnoticed,
unless especially sought for.

common, at least as far as personal observation goes. In his notes on
the birds observed in western Iowa, in July, August, and September of
1867. Mr. J. A. Allen states that this species was “quite common at
Boonesboro, keeping chiefly in the tops of high trees, and was the only

Seturus aurocapillis (Linn.). Oven Bird. Summer resident; com-
mon; arriving about the first of May, and remaining until the middle
of September. Breeds about the third week in May, in hilly wood-
land, where, at this season of the year it seldom fails to attract notice
by its loud, impetuous cries. The nest is commonly placed in a slight
depression in the ground and is arched over, the entrance being at the
side. Even thus hidden from observation, it does not escape the keen
eyes of the cow-bird, which often deposits its eggs in the nest of this

species.

and creeks in low woodland, where it walks about the edge of the
water in search of food, and looking, at casual sight, like a little spotted
sandpiper, but when startled, flies to some tree near by, and goes
through those evolutions of the tail which are characteristic of the wag-
tails. A few remain through the summer, and breed.

Soon after its arrival, it is noticed in the top of some tall tree, pouring
forth its sweetest melodies—often for hours at a time— when, becom-

Raises two or three broods in a season; a nest with fresh eggs has been
taken as late as the second week in August. Asis well known, its nest
is built in all sorts of places. A singular instance came under the ob-
server's notice while examining the nests of a colony of cliff swallows.
One of the swallows’ nests was noticed to have a number of straws
protruding from the entrance. The side of the nest was carefully
broken away, and the nest inside extracted. It was composed of a few
straws and hairs, and lined with hair and feathers. It contained three
eggs of Z. aedon. The nest was picked to pieces, and the bottom was
found to be made of the body of a half-decomposed swallow.

Certhia familiaris americana (Bonap.). Brown Creeper. Migra-
tory; common; and resident from September to the last of April. A
sprightly little creature frequenting woodland, though seldom attracting
attention unless carefully sought for. Its plumage is nearly the hue of
the bark of many trees, so that it is almost impossible for the eye to
follow it after the bird has alighted and commenced ascending a tree.
It begins near the bottom, winds its way upward spirally, for, perhaps,
forty or fifty feet, when it suddenly drops to the foot of another tree
twenty or thirty yards away and repeats the manceuvre, ever and anon
picking out some unfortunate insect larva from a crevice in the bark,
and uttering, at short intervals, its low, lisping notes.

common. During the winter it is usually to be seen in company with
the chickadees. On the rsth of April, 1880, a set of five eggs of this
species was taken from a cavity thirty feet from the ground, in a large
white oak. ‘The nest was visited quite frequently for the next two or

in Cavities in stumps. Eggs, six to ten in number, but usually seven;
they are laid during the last week in April, or first in May. Not infre-
quently the nest is found at a height of ten or twelve feet from the
ground. During the cold months the chickadee is to be seen almost
every day—even in towns— but as spring approaches it retires to the
woods to breed, and is not often noticed unless especially sought for in
its favorite haunts. About the middle of September it again comes out
of the secluded woodland where it has passed the summer.

appears to prefer the tops of forest trees, while its congener is usually
found in the small trees and bushes. In the fall it is found among the
low willows along the streams.

Turdus mustelinus Gmel. Wood Thrush. Abundant summer res-
ident. Appears about the first of May, and remains until September.
It frequents the cool, shady woodlands in the vicinity of streams, where
it commences to breed two or three weeks after its arrival. The nest
of this species seems to be the favorite of the cow-bird (Molothrus
ater), as a repository for its eggs. So frequently is this the case, that
one may collect for a whole season, and not find more than half a dozen
sets of wood thrushes’ eggs without these parasitic eggs— all the others
having from one to four eggs of AZ. afer in addition to those of the
thrush. Several instances have been noted in which the wood thrush
was sitting on the eggs of the cow-bird, with none of its own; while, on
the other hand, one nest contained four eggs of each species— eight

in all.

often appearing in February and remaining until November. Com-
mences nesting about the middle of April. During the season of 1880,
an unusually large set of six eggs was taken in north Des Moines. Its
nest is often very firmly and compactly built, as is well illustrated by a
nest examined several years ago. It was several hours after a rather
severe rain storm, and the nest was still over half full of water, nearly sub-
merging the three eggs it contained. Among the many curious phenom-
ena of avian life, it is believed the following incident is somewhat novel:
One morning during the spring of 1879, a great commotion was noticed
among the birds a short distance from the house. On going out into
the yard, the cause of their uneasiness was soon learned. A robin was
suspended by means of a narrow strip of calico from a small branch,
some fifteen feet from the ground. Further examination showed that
the bird was dead, and that a foot or more of the calico (which was
about three feet in length), had been swallowed by the unfortunate
robin, and the other end of the strip had caught on the branch, leaving
the bird suspended fifteen or twenty inches below.

Genus SIALIA Swainson

Sialia sialis (Linn.). Bluebird. Abundant. One of the first of
our summer residents to put in an appearance in the spring—some-
times even preceding the robin. Nesting frequently begins early in
April; and two or three broods are raised in a season. May 22, 1882,
nest was found in a small cavity in a hawthorn tree; it contained four
eggs of the bluebird, and one of the house wren (Z7oglodytes aedon).
Occasionally the bluebird builds its nest in the excavations made by
bank swallows in the sides of gravel pits.

THE NORTH-AMERICAN GENUS, CEANOTHUS,

With an Enumerated List, and Notes and Descriptions of Several Pacific
Coast Species.

BY -G. GoPARIRY.

(Read tefore the Academy, Decemter 28, 1558.)

Srvce the important additions to the exclusively North American
genus, Ceanothus, L. made by the discoveries of Mr. Nuttall, on the
Pacific coast, over fifty years ago (1836), and published in Vol. =G;
Flora of North America, nearly all the systematic work undertaken
in defining species and arranging them in natural groups, has been
mainly based on the fragmentary specimens accumulated in the large
herbaria, remote from the region where they reach the fullest develop-
ment.

The latest revision (not yet completed), by Professor Trelease, of the
Shaw School of Botany, at St. Louis, Missouri, and published in the
Proceedings of the California Academy of Sciences, Vol. I., 2d Series,
pp. rro—118, enumerates thirty-two species, all but six of which belong
to the Pacific coast district. This interesting synoptical list, embody-
ing the latest results of herbarium study, and bringing together, in com-
pact form, the scattered literature of this genus, shows, no less plainly,
the lack of personal field observations, which would have helped to
solve many of the dubious points here brought to view, the difficulties
of which none can so well appreciate as the author himself.

With the present writer, whose field observations on the Pacific coast
now cover a period of forty years, a growing interest has been felt, as
renewed opportunities have offered for investigating, in their native
haunts, the varied forms of this attractive genus; and, during the past
decade, special attention has been given, by copious collections and
field notes, to elucidate this subject in its strict botanical relations, some
of the results of which are hereby presented, for the first time:

.

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS.

As a natural genus of plants, since its separation from the allied
Rhamnaceous genera with which it was combined by Linnzeus, it pre-

PARRY— CEANOTHUS. 163

sents unusually well-defined and characteristic features. “Thus whether
seen in the wide-spread, typical species, C. Americanus, the minute-
leaved C. microphyllus of the Southern Atlantic coast, the densely-
branched, spine-clad Ceanothi of Mexico, or the more luxuriant forms
of the Pacific coast, it presents the same assemblage of characters, in
habit of growth, foliage, inflorescence, and fruit, to some of which
points it may be well briefly to allude.

As a shrub, it, of course, fits in well with allied RAamnaceous gen-
era, in its densely-branched ramification; its tendency, especially in
arid districts, to defend itself from aggression by terminating its inter-
locking branches with rigid spines, of which the botanical explorer is
apt to carry away lasting mementoes. Its leaf venation is of such a
marked character as to afford the fossil botanist some of the most reli-
able data for connecting the present vegetation with that of remote
geological epochs.

The inflorescence, composed of a thyrsoid aggregation of irregular,
fascicled umbels, is often prolonged in graceful plumes, either a pure or
dull white, or various shades of blue, (never, as sometimes stated, yellow).
The separate flowers, with their slender, colored pedicels, show inflexed
calyx lobes, from the clefts of which spread out the hooded petals,
which, at the proper season relax, to release the enclosed stamens, over-
topping the trifid style. The massed flowers, though strictly speaking,
hermaphrodite, are inclined to be polygamous, most of them, after the
period of fertilization becoming effete, though a favored few develop
fruit. Hybridity, which would seem to be largely favored by the pro-
fusion of showy and occasionally fragrant flowers, and which has been
supposed to be largely instrumental in confusing species, is not a very
troublesome feature in field observation, where alone it can be properly
studied. By far the majority of species having a distinct geographical
range and different periods of flowering, while even such as grow in
close proximity and flower at the same time, each maintain their proper
specific characters; while true hybrids, however puzzling in the her-
barium, are, in their proper field of growth, readily traced to their
ancestral sources.

The fruit, which so strongly simulates in external appearance some of
the Huphorbiaceous genera as to have suggested a near relationship —
though not carried out in other points—varies considerably in its size,
its smooth or resinously-coated exocarp and its accessory appendages,
but has otherwise very uniform characters of seed and pericarp. A
fact not often noticed, but which is probably more or less true of-all
species, is that the rigid Coccz, when released from their attachment to

104 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

the indurated disc, expel their smooth-coated seeds through the ventral
lit with considerable force. I have had occasion lately to notice this,
even in herbarium specimens of nearly mature fruit, which when
brought into a warm apartment, revealed their explosive nature by a con-
tinuous fusilade, till the ammunition was all expended and the frag-
ments of the ruptured pericarp alone left to determine their carpologi-
cal features. The manifest utility of this provision for disseminating
seeds, will largely account for the gregarious habit of most of the spe-
cies, and, no doubt, also serves as a protection against the aggression
of omnivorous rodents, to say nothing of avaricious botanists.

There is still another feature of growth calling for some detailed
notice. Contrary to the view presented by Professor Trelease in the
paper above referred to, it is quite certain that nearly all the Pacific
coast species develop their inflorescence from buds fully formed the
previous season, and rarely from the shoots of the same year. As
collecting botanists do not often gather belated specimens which would
show the late-formed buds, it is quite likely that ordinary herbarium
specimens do not clearly show the true conditions of future growth,
and hence such a mistaken conclusion might be easily reached; but, as
far as my observations go, it is only the well-known Eastern Atlantic
species, together with the Mexican, C. azwreus, and probably C. decum-
bens of the Sierra Nevada, that flower from the fresh-growing shoots of
the same season.

The usual character of growth and inflorescence, as seen on the
Pacific slope, may be here briefly stated: When seen in the season of
late autumnal rest, and before the winter rains set in, or where, in the
higher mountains the deep winter snows come on to protect the ten-
der growth, the later leafy shoots show in their axils or terminal branches,

a more or less distinct development of flower buds, closely enwrapped
in protecting scales, the latter usually densely tomentose; as soon as
growth commences, which in the lowlands, is often as cary as January
or February, and extending northward as late as May or June, the de-
ciduous scales, each subtending a fasciculate cluster of pedicels, are
pushed off, and the flower buds, often showing a lower series of leaf
bracts, expand their flower clusters, which gradually elongate to their
full development. In maturing fruit, the whole flowering branch, in-
cluding the lower empty leaf bracts, lose their vitality and remain, after
the expulsion of the seeds, as dead withered branches, surmounted by
the remains of the indurated and brittle disc and calyx tube. It was
probably on such a specimen of C. sanguineus, that Professor Trelease
based his conclusion that it was the only species to develop flowers

PARRY— CEANOTHUS. 1605

from the old wood. It is only when the fruiting process is well ad-
vanced, that the summer shoots set to work to prepare flower buds for
the next season, occasionally however, tempted by an early autumnal
rain or favorable conditions of growth, to push out premature flower
buds, which, in their starved aspect, show that they are out of season,
associated as they are, with fully developed fruit of the same year.

CHARACTERS ON WHICH SPECIES AND GROUPS CAN BE MOST
SATISFACTORILY DEFINED.

Before proceeding to an enumeration of the species here recognized
in the accompanying synoptical list, it seems proper to dwell briefly on
some of the most reliable characters, especially such as are brought to
view in field observations, which afford the best means for defining spe-
cies and arranging them in natural groups. And first, the ramification
of Ceanothus offers some distinctive features. Thus, while the thrifty-
growing species, such as C. thyrsifiorus, C. arboreus, C. integerrimus,
and several others exhibit the usual prolonged growth and flexible
branches, usually more or less angular when young, and destitute of
spines; others, subjected to more arid conditions of soil and climate,
show a disposition to branch at right angles to the main axis, which
branches, failing to secure sufficient nourishment for prolonged growth,
terminate abruptly in stiff spines, which, interlocking, form the thickets
popularly known as chaparral. These contrasted characters, while
clearly noticeable in certain groups, are not always sufficiently constant
to define their limits.

Again, an important character, not always apparent in herbarium
specimens, is the relative persistence of the foliage; this, there are in-
cluded in this genus, species with annually deciduous leaves, showing
naked winter branches, while others are strictly evergreen, retaining
their leaves indefinitely — while there is still a larger intermediate class,
including most of the Pacific coast species, in which the leaves persist
for at least two seasons, and never show purely naked stems on the
upper branches. It is quite possible that these characters would accu-
rately define three very distinct natural divisions, as will be partly in-
dicated in the succeeding list.

Sull farther the venation and pubescence of the leaves offers good
distinguishing marks, and these being equally available to the closet
and field botanist, have been largely relied on by the former to limit
groups, and may, no doubt, be used to advantage, when properly com-
bined and qualified by other constant characters, so that species other-
wise widely diverse, may not be brought together in unnatural, artificial

160 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

groups. The characters of entire, serrate, or glandular leaves, seems
to be more variable as a specific character, than is usually met with in
other genera, but occasional exceptions to uniformity in this respect
only emphasizes the importance of combining several characters in a
complete description, so that if one fails, the others may hold good.

The leaf stipules furnish some well-marked characters; thus, while
usually thin and fugaceous in the #w-ceanothus section, in the group
with annually deciduous leaves, they often persist till after the fall of
the leaf, as may be frequently seen in older branches of C. Americanus
and C. azureus. In the Cerastes section, they usually show a thick-
ened, corky, persistent base, often remaining as verrucose excresences,
while the slender tips are early deciduous.

The inflorescence, while quite uniform in its general features, as com-
posed of an irregular series of umbellate clusters, offers good specific
characters in its more or less compact or prolonged thiysoid develop-
ment. The separate flowers offer no important distinctive characters,
being remarkably uniform throughout, while the color, though usually
constant in the same species, is occasionally variable.

The fruit offers some important distinctions in the shape and size of
the Cocci, the smooth, fleshy, or resinous exocarp, and the presence or
absence of crests or accessory appendages.

GEOGRAPHICAL RANGE.

The geographical distribution of the different species of this genus is
usually well-defined, and holds very obvious relations to the variations
of soil and climate. | This is true not only of such as have the extended
range of C. Americanus, but also applies to such as are limited to a
comparatively small area. Wherever met with, they are inclined to be
gregarious, due, as I have above suggested, to the character of expul-
sive capsules, by which the seed is self-sown in its own locality. The
smooth, polished seeds, with their comparatively large cotyledons and
a liberal supply of albumen, seem thus calculated not only to maintain
their vitality under adverse conditions, but also to afford a vigorous
growth under favorable circumstances. It is, no doubt, owing to these
characters, that the Pacific coast of California constitutes the most
suitable home for this genus, and in its varied aspects of soil and
climate, invites to the largest display of specific forms. It thus hap-
pens that there is no considerable expanse of country in this region,
especially on the foot-hills or the mountain slopes, that is without its
exhibit of one or more of these characteristic shrubs. If asked to
designate a spot where they occur in the greatest profusion and variety,

Eo

PARRY— CEANOTHUS. 107

I should not hesitate to award the palm to the Santa Cruz range of
mountains, where, in a few hours’ climb, are brought to view such
charming groups as C. zucanus, C. papillosus, C. Andersoni, and C.
thyrsiflorus, with its occasional hybrids, vying with each other in dis-
playing the most refined tints of white or blue, or expanding into the
clear atmosphere of early spring their delicate feathered plumes.

In the Cerasfes section—almost peculiar to California— with their
rigidly coriaceous, usually opposite leaves, there is still more tendency
to aggregate in massed growths, but in such cases the thickets are
mainly composed of single separate species, and, therefore, less subject
to hybridization.

The confusion of specific forms, due to hybridization, admits of an
easy solution in the field, where, by extended observation, each sepa-
rate species can be studied in its undisturbed condition. Thus, if Mr.
Howell, the active and intelligent botanical collector of Oregon and
Washington Territory, would extend his observations only by a few
hours’ travel, as far as the central range of the Sierras, and the Sacra-
mento Valley, he would not venture his opinion that he “is disposed to
regard C. prostratus as only a variety of C. cuneatus.”

In the accompanying list I have briefly indicated, by locality, the
geographical range of such species as have come under my personal
observation, but the dafa are yet wanting for determining accurately
the range of all the species here represented.

In submitting a synoptical arrangement of the thirty-three species
herewith enumerated, I have endeavored to bring them into simple,
natural groups, without any attempt at elaborate classification, such, in
fact, as they appear from the standpoint of a field observer. If varying
in this respect from that of more studied efforts, I can only say, I write
as I have seen. ‘To the separate species in the numbered list, I have
only added notes of such as are imperfectly known or needing correc-
tion, with fuller descriptions of several new species; referring to the
well-known systematic writers on this genus, for the synonomy and lit-
erature of the same.

15. C. hirsutus, Nutt. Coast ranges of Santa Barbara and south-

received to verify Nuttall’s original description— Fl. N. Am., I., p. 266
—till which time much doubt will attach to the various forms included
in herbaria from widely remote localities. As seen in the southern
coast range, what has been recognized as C. Airsutus is a tall shrub,
with tree-like trunk, and slender, minutely verrucose branches, not con-
spicuously hirsute; the leaves very finely glandular serrate, deep green
above, pale and closely pubescent beneath; inflorescence terminating
in short, leafy shoots, oval, compact, of a dull purplish blue; fruit 4mm.
broad, distinctly three lobed, smooth and bluntly crested. C. oligan-
thus, Nutt., which has been referred to this species, should, from the
fruit character, be distinct, and the specimens from the Upper Sacra-
mento and East Humboldt Mountains must undoubtedly belong to a
very different and probably undescribed species.

c. C. thyrsifiorus X C. papillosus.

Of this last only, have I sufficiently definite information to refer the
specimens collected to the two parent forms. These showing their
ordinary specific characters unchanged, were growing luxuriantly along
the sides of a wild mountain road, the low-branched C. papil/osus being
often overtopped by its more aspiring rival, C. thyrsiflorus. The season
of flowering being the same in both, they were equally attractive to
swarming insects, the natural result being noticed in occasional dwarf
bushes partaking of a mixed character; thus, while the leaves conspicu-
ously veined beneath, show a tendency to triple nerves, these do not
extend to the base of the leaf, and towards the apex take on the penni-
nerved character of C. papillosus, but without papillaze on the upper
surface. ‘The inflorescence is after the compact pattern of C. papzllosus,
and the fruit, which occasionally perfects its seed, is also nearest to the
latter species. From this instructive example I have little hesitation in
reducing the forms a. and d. to a similar origin, and thus relieve systé-
matic botany from the burden of carrying doubtful species, though it
will require direct field observation to assign them to their double
parentage.

Leaves penninerved.

17. C. Parry, Trelease, 1. c. I have little to add to the well-char-
acterized description of Professor Trelease, except to state that it has
been observed and abundantly collected the past season (1888), on
mountain slopes near Calistoga, where it is associated with C. foliosus.
It has also been detected from other remote localities, in early botani-
cal collections, so that it is probably of rather extended geographical
range. Unquestionably its nearest relations are with C. papillosus,
the chief points of difference being the absence of papillz, and a more
diffuse inflorescence.

PARRY— CEANOTHUS. I7!

After extended observation and careful study of C. papz/losus, where
it exhibits its fullest development, in the Santa Cruz Mountains, I am
forced to the conclusion that it properly includes the two forms above
noted, heretofore regarded as distinct species. When seen in its most
luxuriant state on the lower slopes of the Santa Cruz range, it is a
densely-branched shrub, 4—6 feet in height, with large oblong leaves
(50 X Io mm.), corrugated on the upper surface, and abundantly gar-
nished with projecting papillze, tomentose below, and only slightly rev-
olute on the margin. Farther up, the leaves become reduced fully one-
eighth the size of the lowland form, and are strongly revolute, almost
to the midrib; in this state, the clustered and long pedunculate inflor-
escence of a deep blue is attractively conspicuous, suggesting at once
the published figure of C. foribundus, Hook., Bot. Mag., pl. 4,806, but
still farther, it also forces the conclusion that C. dentatus, Torr. & Gray,
is only a form of this species, destitute of papillae. Before coming to
this conclusion, I was led to investigate the true nature of these papille,
and find that they are only the usual form of glands so commonly met
with on the edges of the leaf, where they can most readily break
through, while on the upper surface the thicker epidermis usually covers
them as protuberances, though not unfrequently revealing their true
nature by pushing through, as regular glands. It thus appears that,
though a conspicuous character, it is not necessarily constant, or of
specific val-e. As in my view, it is only the absence of the papilla
that separates C. dentatus from the reduced forms of C. papillosus. I
have re-examined an authentic C. dentatus, corresponding precisely to
the figure in Bot. Mex. Bdy., pl. ro, and find that while surface papillz
are not to be seen, yet the projecting glands at the margins of the leaf
are not directly on the edge, but on the revolute folds of the upper sur-
face, so that the essential point of difference is narrowed down to a
very small margin. Besides, it is not unlikely that the older herbarium
specimens in which C. dentatus is generally represented, may have lost
the traces of surface glands by age and pressure, a fact which I have
been able partly to verify in an examination of old herbarium specimens
of C. papillosus. On these grounds I feel justified in relieving botani-
cal observers from the care of a vain search for these doubtful forms.

From an extended observation of the various forms of this species,
through the entire length of California, occupying not only the upper
valleys but the higher mountain slopes, I am led to the conclusion that
they properly belong to one species, of which it would be possible to
make many varieties. The size of the leaf is, of course, unimportant,
being easily explained by climatic differences; the leaf venation is also
seen to vary from distinctly triple-nerved to obscurely penninerved,
while the flower, most commonly white, takes on every shade of faded
or bright blue. The most reliable characters are in the texture of the
leaf, flexible and inconspicuously veined, the copious and diffuse thyrsus
of flowers, on prolonged leafy peduncles, and the fruit, 5-7 mm. broad,
and bluntly keeled.

From a photograph of the typical C. Palmeri, Trelease, kindly fur-
nished by the author, I have no hesitation in including it as a southern
form of this rather polymorphous species.

general aspect which the above described species has to C. valida,

PARRY — MEMORIAL OF PROF. SHELDON. 179

PROFESSOR DAVID S. SHELDON, LL.D.
BY C. C. PARRY.

(Read before the Davenport Academy of Sciences, at the
Memortal Meeting, Fune 11, 188.)

Havinc been requested to prepare, for this occasion, a somewhat
systematic account of the life and scientific labors of our late associate,
Prof. D. S. Sheldon, with special reference to his connection with this
Academy, of which he was one of the founders, and its first President,
I have endeavored to comply, as far as my limited information goes,
premising that this is necessarily an imperfect sketch of a noble char-
acter, such as could only be faithfully portrayed by an intimate personal
friend, having access to private documents and authentic journals.
Such as it is, I desire to lay it before you as at least, a sincere tribute
to his memory, and a faint recognition of his sterling qualities as a
man, and his endearing features as a friend.

In the early years of the present century (December 6, 1809), among
the rugged hills of Vermont, David Sylvester Sheldon first saw the light®
—the son of a well-to-do farmer, which meant, in that day and place,
more than it does in ours, a life of earnest toil and privation, develop-
ing faculties of self-reliance, and a sturdy physical frame. With such
an inheritance, young Sheldon was also favored with an early scholastic
training, such as was then in vogue in the New England Academy, well
fitted to impart not only solid learning, but better still, mental develop-
ment. So we find him, at sixteen years of age, a pupil at Castleton,
Vermont, long distinguished, as now, for its wild, romantic scenery, and
its elevated educational institutions. That with such surroundings he
should have early imbibed a taste for natural science is easily con-
ceivable, even amid the dry abstractions of classical learning and rigid
mathematics, which then formed the chief curriculum of study.

So we find him progressing, becoming fitted for college at the age of
nineteen, and graduating at Middlebury in his twenty-third year. As
was usual in that day, he varied his duties, and, no doubt, economized
his means, by teaching in adjoining country schools. And now comes

180 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

the important duty of selecting a profession. Quite naturally to a
serious and thoughtful mind, the pulpit seemed to present the strongest
claims, and accordingly, theological studies are pursued at that distin-
guished School of the Prophets, Andover. But before the definite step
is taken that would have made him what he gained in another direction,
a Reverend, the zeal for teaching took possession of his earnest facul-
ties, and, taking up what was then regarded as a lower calling, he
devoted his zeal and abilities to raising his chosen vocation to a higher
level.

Fifty years ago, the writer, then a school-boy at Bennington, Vermont,
had his first acquaintance with Mr. Sheldon, then Principal of the Ben-
nington Academy — hardly a personal knowledge, however, for, unfort-
unately, I was not a scholar of his, but belonged to a rival school, in
which one of the lessons taught was a mean contempt for other insti-
tutions. Still, it was apparent to all, that a master mind had the con-
trol of the rival academy, and there were certain progressive features
there introduced that at least excited our envy, if not our approbation.
The impression still remains with me, that for real, solid educational
acquirements, the school under Mr. Sheldon was the best.

At that early day, one who has since become noted as a pulpit and
platform orator, Rev. E. H. Chapin, was acting as deputy post-master
in that village, and occasionally electrified us smaller boys by his
dramatic rendition of Lochiel.

* And so we parted for a while, only to meet again on the western

banks of the Mississippi, almost the w/tima thule of our early geog-
raphies.

Mr. Sheldon is next seen exchanging the green hills of Vermont for
the wild chasms of the Saranac in North-Eastern New York, at Pots-
dam, geologically celebrated by its old red sandstone, one of the lowest
of our stratified rocks. Still a teacher, and, no doubt, also a learner,
at least the reputation there gained secured him an invitation to the
sedate and classical town of Northampton, in the Connecticut Valley.
Here, unhampered by jealous rivalry, he threw the whole force of his
gifted mind and rich experience into a school distinguished by such
scholars as Elizur Wright and others of less note, who continued to
look up to Mr. Sheldon as the source of their earliest inspiration.

But, under this mental strain, even the stalwart form of our Ver-
monter gave way, and, at the age of thirty-nine, he was obliged to seek
relaxation in travel; at first, to the south, and eventually to the far
west, in Iowa. Coming to Burlington in 1850, then the most prominent

PARRY — MEMORIAL OF PROF. SHELDON. 181

Iowa town, he commenced his pioneer educational work in the west.
Here, the heavy hand of affliction was laid on him in the loss of an only
child, and soon after, with his stricken life-companion, he caime to
Davenport, having accepted a professorship in Iowa College. Thus, at
the age of forty-four, this place became his permanent home. Here,
then, we begin to tread on familiar ground. ‘The sturdy son of Ver-
mont took kindly to the trying climate of Iowa, with its chilling winter
blasts and summer heats, the peculiarities of which he made a special
study, in connection with a complete set of meteorological instruments,
records of which are, no doubt, still accessible. As Professor of Natu-
ral Science, one of the important duties devolving upon him was the
establishment of a museum, and the times usually devoted-to relaxation
were largely spent by him in scouring the adjacent country, securing
specimens of plants, shells, fossils, etc., which, by an extensive system
of exchanges, secured valuable returns from all parts of the world. In
connection with this was also accumulated a valuable scientific library.

During the summer vacations longer excursions were undertaken,
and the boggy margins of Rock River, in Illinois, yielded up their hid-
den treasures of Unzo shells, here in their richest development, but only
to be procured by persistent wading and digging. In this way was
secured the magnificent series of forms that excited the admiration of
Prof. Agassiz, many of which went to enrich the museum at Cambridge,
Massachusetts. At that time also, he was associated with Mr. Sereno
Watson, then a tutor in Iowa College, in connection with whom a very
complete series of local plants were collected, most of which are now
stored in the Davenport Academy Herbarium, awaiting the apprecia-
tive hand of some young botanist yet to appear from the ranks of the
promising Agassiz Club. It is altogether probable that in this congen-
ial employment (in which Mrs. Sheldon took a prominent part), Mr.
Watson received his first bent to botanical research, since so efficiently
followed up as Botanist of the 40° parallel, and later, as the trusted
associate of Prof. Asa Gray, at Cambridge, in the magnificent work of
The North American Flora.

So, with our present subject, time moves on—full fifty years have
passed over his head, full of cares and labors. Lowa College becoming
involved in financial difficulties, is removed, in search of a more con-
genial location. Prof. Sheldon remains; his hopes still cling to Dav-
enport as an educational center; he becomes connected with another
educational institution, under the auspices of a different denomination
of Christians, with whom, in a true catholic spirit, he unites, and again

182 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

assumes educational work, as professor in Griswold College. Engaging
‘n multifarious duties; successful always in securing the affectionate
regard of his pupils, giving up not only his time and abilities, but also
Se means to build up an institution approximating his high ideal, can
we wonder that disappointment weighed heavily upon him in seeing
his long-cherished plans unconsummated?

It was at this juncture, when Prof. Sheldon had nearly reached his
sixtieth year, that the Davenport Academy of Sciences was organized.
He was urgently requested to accept the presidency, but only consented
on condition of being relieved from nominal official duty as its presid-
ing officer. Since then, up to the last week of his life, he has been our
trusted counsellor, our constant supporter, and our ever faithful friend.
Whenever a word of encouragement was needed, his earnest voice was
at our command; when funds were urgently required, his hand was
stretched out unstintedly to our relief. Even now, in our profound
sorrow for his loss, his benignant face beams on us from that precious
sun-picture, saying, “BE OF GOOD CHEER!”

With what sad recollections do we recall the meeting of only two
weeks ago, when, for the last—and, I might almost say, for the first
time at our regular meetings—his voice was heard, in advocacy of
what he considered a question of importance to the well-being of this
Academy, in scathing rebuke of unjustifiable assaults on its integrity ;
in words of encouragement to us, who, in our feeble way, have en-
deavored to uphold the torch of science—memorable words, to be
sacredly bequeathed to those that come after us.

It has seemed necessary to go over all this preliminary matter, in
order to reach our main point, in a proper appreciation of the scientific
work and character of our late associate.

Prof. Sheldon became what he was, as the combined results of his
birth, his early education, and his enlarged experience. Thus, to his
natural inherited gifts were added acquired virtues, all enriched by
those eminent Christian graces that added a winning lustre to his per-
sonal character. Not but what he had his failings. I think it is a
proper matter of regret to us all that instinctive reluctance to anything
like public display prevented him from the wider exercise of his talents
by giving to the scientific world, in printed form, the results of his ob-
servations and researches; his name does not appear in any of our
published reports. Well do I remember an early conversation with
him, in which I ventured to urge such a matter on his attention. His
answer was characteristic: “That is not my vocation; Z can teach.”

PARRY — MEMORIAL OF PROF. SHELDON. 183

What answer could I make, when I knew that his most earnest thoughts
were being printed daily on the living tablets of the hearts of his pupils,
only to appear in distant results, in which the hand of the master is
known only to the All-seeing Eye ?

In matters pertaining to his avocation as a teacher, Prof. Sheldon’s
memory could be safely relied on, but to such things as related only to
his personal interests, he was, at times, strangely oblivious. A charac-
teristic instance in point will well illustrate this phase of his character:
A bank deposit, to his credit, of no small amount, was allowed to ac-
cumulate for years, till the interest greatly exceeded the principal.
When accidentally informed by one of the bank officials that there was
such a sum to his credit, he could hardly be convinced of its truth, so
completely had the whole transaction passed from his recollection.
Similar instances of forgetfulness, where the debit account is on the
other side, are unfortunately not rare; but, in this case the only ex-
planation was in the man—it was Prof. Sheldon literally carrying out
the Scriptural injunction of not letting his left hand know what his right
was doing.

Most of us will remember the long shaggy-haired dog which, for so
many years, was the constant companion of his daily walks. To many
it seemed rather a strange attachment for a learned professor, but ad-
mits of a ready explanation. However wide apart in other respects,
in both the character of friendliness and faithfulness was plainly exhib-
ited; the dog knew that his master could be trusted to do what was
kind and generous, and the master knew that a look or a sign was
sufficient to enforce the strictest obedience. There was thus a bond of
union established that terminated only with life.

Not in this instance alone was his natural taste exhibited in an affec-
tionate study of animal life. At an early day in his Davenport career,
in one of his rambles, he made captive a nest of flying-squirrels, and
no captives ever fared better at the hands of the capturer. Heat once
(assisted, as in all his schemes, by his faithful wife), undertook a careful
study of their habits, provided every convenience of shelter, food, and
exercise for their comfort and well-being, nursed the young with his
own hands and was rewarded in seeing them thrive and enjoy life under
his watchful care. Soon unbounded trust took the place of instinctive
fear, and they indulged their nocturnal sports in his presence, darting
from place to place, but most at home when nestling in his sleeve or
bosom ; in fact, they would not object to make that their daily resting-
place. As a matter of historic interest, it may be added that, in the

case of one of these captive pets, life was prolonged to the ripe old
age of twelve years, and the same fatherly hand that nursed its infancy
daintily prepared its skeleton, which now graces the Academy’s collec-
tions. If now, Prof. Sheldon had only given us, in the simplest way,
the information thus gained of the life-habits of these curious and ob-
scure denizens of our woods, we should have had a gem of Natural
History worthy the pen or pencil of an Audubon or Thoreau. But,
alas! such information has now gone beyond our reach.

Better than all this, however, though in the same line of research, was
his earnest life-study of humanity; from the obscure pages of ancient
lore, in which he was well versed, he ever turned with delight, to “read
that hidden book, the human heart.” He studied, with ever-increased
interest its manner of growth and its manifold development, never so
happy as when seeing it take a wise direction, under his plastic hand.
His pupils soon learned to know and recognize his power for good, and
yielded to his persuasive influences; the bad were reformed, the per-
verted turned from their evil courses, and all that was generous, noble,
and manly brought up to its full measure of excellence.

Pity that a mind so gifted, a character so ennobled, and an ability for
usefulness so exalted, should not, for want of proper appreciation, have
been allowed full scope for its exercise! Great pity, that disappoint-
ment in the apparent failure of his educational schemes for this, his
chosen home, should have dimmed the evening of his beneficent life!
With what satisfaction would those who knew him best, and, therefore,
loved him most, have seen him occupy, for many years, the pleasant
home erected under his own auspices, and displaying his own delicate
and refined taste; his simple, every-day wants supplied by the gentle
hand that had been reared under his fostering care from childhood;
attaining to a green old age, surrounded by the substantial evidences of
a well-spent life, and cheered by the affectionate gratitude of those who
had reaped the benefit of his labors, or were made better by his wise
example. But, from a higher than human source came, too soon for
us, but not for him—June 5, 1886—the blessed summons: “WELL
Done, Good AND FaIrHFUL SERVANT ;” — faithful alike in few or many
things — “ENTER THou INTO THE Joy oF THy LorpD!”

Recent Field Notes, with a Partial Revision of Species.
BY C.. €. PARRY:

(Read before the Academy, August 30, 1889.)

In undertaking to put into systematic form the results of some
special observations on the genus Ceanothus, included in Proceedings
of the Davenport Academy of Sciences, Vol. V., pp. 162-174, the
common experience of finding a lack of definite information on certain
important points was naturally encountered. With a view to meet
some of these in the only effectual way, the writer was induced to
undertake, the present season (1889), a brief re-exploration of certain
districts on the Pacific coast, affording the best promise of successful
results in elucidating the doubtful points needed to clear up certain
specific characters. It is always an advantage in such researches to
have some definite object in view, some special doubtful questions to
answer; and with these weighing on his mind, the writer felt at liberty
to pass over with a mere cursory view, such matters, however interest-
ing, that did not bear directly on the main object of investigation.

To acquire a satisfactory knowledge of the earlier-described Pacific
coast species, often described from imperfect fragmentary material, it
is desirable, if possible, to visit the original localities and identify the
types with the living plants, thus not only settling the vexed question
of synonomy, but supplying what is wanting in a complete definition
of species. It has so happened in the nature of the case, that the
earliest botanical explorations were mainly confined to a few accessible
points on the Pacific coast, from which only a limited area of the vast
interior districts could be reached, amid hardships and privations diffi-
cult to realize under the facilities of modern travel. Hence, peculiar
interest attaches to such localities as the mouth of the Columbia River,
the harbors of Monterey, Santa Barbara, and San Diego, rendered clas-
sical by the enthusiastic labors of Chamisso, Douglas, Nuttall, and
others of less note. Treading reverently in the steps of these worthies
of a past generation, as others may do later in ours,‘ the writer enjoyed

a few days in the latter part of this season (1889), just forty years from
his first acquaintance with this locality, in the modern San Diego,
climbing leisurely over the then verdant hills, and threading his way
amid the same maze of shrubbery through which Nuttall had struggled
over fifty years ago, bringing first to the notice of Eastern botanists the
floral features of this far Pacific coast, in the volume of the North
American Flora. The genus Ceanothus, which he then enriched with
so many peculiar West-American species, was here represented mainly
by Ceanothus verrucosus, Nutt., which, though at the time of his short
visit in April and May was past flowering, yet revealed to his practised
eye its peculiar specific qualities. Though at the time of my visit the
flowers had mainly disappeared, yet having previously observed it in
all its stages of growth, it was unmistakable, being especially distin-
guished from the nearest related C. r7gidus in its more supple, often
somewhat pendent branches, its white or faintly tinged blue flowers, its
alternate leaves, and the more strongly marked protuberances on the
lower branches left by the fallen leaves, and persistent stipular bases.
The figure, PI. IX. in Mex. Bdy. Survey, referred to C. rigidus, is, as
suggested by Professor Trelease, undoubtedly C. verrucosus, Nutt.,
which, by a misplacement of labels, is credited to “Monterey, Parry.”
As far as now known, this species is confined in its geographical range_
to San Diego, extending southward into Lower California. It can in
no way be confounded with the widely spread C. cuneatus, Nutt., the
points of distinction being clearly laid down in the original description.

Reversing the order of Nuttall’s journey from north to south in 1836,
the writer spent the first week of April in the picturesque Ojai Valley,
near Santa Barbara, probably covering the same time of year as Nuttall
fifty-three years before. Previously I had received from General John
Bidwell and wife, then wintering at this sanitary retreat, some intimation
of the floral features of this locality. It was, therefore, a rare treat to
avail myself of their extended observations in driving over the adjoin-
ing country as their guest. Though rather late to see in its perfection
the full development of inflorescence of the different species of
Ceanothus there represented, it was particularly pleasant to think that
Nuttall had made his observations of these plants about the same time
of year, in a closely adjoining district.

Foremost of these to attract attention was the luxuriant C. spznosus,
Nutt., here attaining the size of a small tree, 15 to 20 feet in height, and
with trunks not infrequently 8 inches in diameter. Though low-
branched and usually of scrubby growth, it is here sufficiently abundant

_

to be cut for fuel, showing a dense cherry-red heart-wood, from whence
it has derived the common name of “red wood.” Its inflorescence is
copious, on prolonged thryses, the flower of a light faded blue, the
forming fruit scarcely lobed, and strongly resinous coated.

In a systematic point of view, special interest attaches to the species
from this locality first described by Nuttall as C. Azrsutus. While eas-

‘ily recognized from the description in this, its original locality, it has

been confused in points farther north and south by an erroneous
reference to C. sorediatus, Hook. & Arn. Being particularly anxious
to clear up, if possible, this confusion, the species has been traced as
far as practicable in its southern extension with the conclusion since
fully confirmed, that all the southern forms belong to C. Azrsutus, and
while not as yet fully informed as to its northern range, I am of the
opinion that it does not overlap or mingle with the true C. sorediatus,
the character and range of which latter I am now able, as will be shown
farther on, satisfactorily to define. It must suffice at present to offer
the following notes on C. Airsutus as seen in its original locality :

C. uirsutus, Nutt., Fl. N. Am., I, p. 266. Four totwelve feet in
height, branches spreading, rather slender, light brown on the older
stems, occasionally covered with small glandular warts, younger
branches strongly hirsute; leaves ovate to broadly cordate, petiolate,
finely glandular-serrate, dark green above with more or less hispid
pubescence, paler beneath with conspicuous triple and intermediate
veins, hispidly ciliate; flowers bright or light blue, inflorescence more
or less prolonged; fruit rather conspicuously crested, 4 mm. broad.
As seen in its southern range, extending into Lower California, it
occasionally assumes an arborescent aspect. According to the views
of Mr. Brandegee, C. arboreus, Greene, would represent the insular
form of this species, though few may be willing to accept his conclusions.

Another typical Santa Barbara species is C. divaricatus, Nutt. This
is one of the most easily recognized species, varying in size from a low
bush to a medium sized tree, with light colored glaucous bark, rigidly
spinose branches, light green leaves, usually entire, but not infrequently,
especially on vigorous shoots, irregularly serrate, inflorescence diffuse,
flowers dull faded blue; fruit orbicular, with scarcely any protuberances.
It may be here remarked that the swollen protuberances appearing as
lobes or crests on the back of the coccz are always most conspicuous
on the young forming fruit, which shrink away more or less at maturity.
The accessory intermediate appendages common in the Cerasfes section
often persist as projecting horns.

My investigations in this interesting vicinity were not sufficiently
early in the season or extended in range to meet with C. megacarpus,
Nutt., the peculiar floral characters of which not coming under the
notice of Nuttall, have been noted by Professor Greene in Bull. Cal.
Acad., III., pp. 80-81. The change in nomenclature from C. macro-
carpus, Nutt., to C. megacarpus, Nutt., though clearly stated by Nuttall
himself (Nutt. Sylv., II., p. 46), has, strangely enough, not as yet
been taken up by recent systematic writers. As the validity of the
earlier C. macrocapus, Cav., of Mexico, is admitted (Hemsley’s Biol.
Cen. Am., I., p. 199), there remains no valid reason for not accepting
the necessary correction which, though merely verbal, sufficiently dis-
tinguishes the separate species.

C. tmpressus, Trelease, from the Santa Ynez Mountains, did not
come under my observation. ‘Though imperfectly known, its well-
marked characters seem sufficiently to distinguish it.

Reaching Oakland in mid-April, pleasant and commodious quarters
were kindly offered as a guest in the botanical eyrie where the Lemmon
Herbarium is located. Here, overlooking the busy, bustling town,
above its noise and dust, the verdant slopes encircling the bay of San
Francisco presented ever-attractive views. In the latter days of March,
Professor Greene had gathered from Mt. Tamalpais luxuriant flowering
specimens of a Ceanothus, which I soon recognized as the species
which, from imperfect material, I had characterized as C. intricatus,
Parry, l. c. To my surprise I also found, through Mr. Greene, that
the same species had been in cultivation for several years in the private
grounds of Professor Rivers, at Berkeley, as well as the University
Botanic Garden. So that the maternal for clearing up this species
seemed close at hand, without requiring the climb to the summit of Mt.
Tamalpais. It also suggested a strong probability, since verified, that
this might more properly belong to an old established species.- In
order to verify the original facts, however, I visited the lower slopes of
Mt. Tamalpais on April 3oth, finding the species fairly represented, then
in forming fruit, while at the same time the mountain slopes were bril-
liant with the profusely clustered thyrses of C. thyrsiflorus, Esch. Not
allowing this elegant display to distract my attention from its lowlier
compeer, which, a full month before had its flowering season, thus
obviating any risk of confused forms resulting from hybridization, I
note herewith the characters then and subsequently observed, postpon-
ing till later the question of its systematic relations, viz. :

A densely-branched shrub, 3-8 feet in height, light or reddish-gray

bark, occasionally covered with patches of resinous warts, younger
branches with a short, appressed pubescence, mixed with longer, scat-
tered hairs; leaves short-petiolate, elliptic to ovate, 20-30 mm. in
length, to mm. broad, much smaller on the secondary branches, smooth
above, in the fresh-growing shoots coated with a light varnish, finely
ciliate-glandular, rarely in vigorous shoots crenately margined, paler
beneath, with ciliate hairs on the veins, distinctly triple-nerved; stipules
rather rigid, and often covered with an adhesive resinous varnish; in-
floresence more or less prolonged beyond the leaves, compactly oval
or loosely thyrsoid, flowers bright blue; fruit 4 mm. broad, smooth,
without crests. In cultivated specimens where the growth is prolonged
by irrigation, the dense branches with their deep green, glossy foliage
form neat, compact clumps, fully justifying the proposed name of
intricatus.

It was reserved for a quiet closet retreat, 2,000 miles from its place
of growth, to determine the true systematic relations of this species,
and correct the synonomy. Being particularly desirous to settle
definitely the early described species, C. sorediatus, Hook. & Arn., I
applied by letter to Professor Watson, at Cambridge, Mass., and also
to the Herbarium of the Royal Gardens, at Kew, England, for any
fragments that might be spared of the typical Douglasian specimens.
With the usual courtesy, I was favored with two leaves from Cambridge,
and a somewhat larger fragment from Kew, kindly supplied by Mr. J.
G. Baker, of that world-renowned institution. I at once recognized
that these specimens were identical with the plant above described, and
that the C. intricatus, Parry—fortunately not widely distributed —
should be reduced to a synonym of C. sorediatus, Hook. & Arn.

Having thus clearly and satisfactorily defined the true C. sorediatus,
Hook. & Arn., also determining its proper geographic range, not
apparently extending far south of San Francisco Bay, it became neces-
sary to re-examine the various forms which had been erroneously
referred to this species. The suggestion of Professor Trelease in his
recent notes on Ceanothus, that probably “one or more species may
ultimately be separated” from the diverse plants included under C.
sorediatus, Hook. & Arn., by more recent authors, must here receive
verification.

Thus, the specimens from the Upper Sacramento Valley, at Ione,
which, in my recent paper, I took to represent the typical C. sorediatus,
Hook. & Arn., and sparingly distributed under that name, proves to be
the first one calling for separation. As this can be quite satisfactorily

Acad., I., p. 55 (1855), and from actual specimens of Bolander, No.
4,558, fide Watson (4,548 Herb. Cal. State University), I am obliged to
regard it as a well-marked, undescribed species, and, being precluded
from the use of personal names in the fact that it had passed through
the hands of several collectors under difierent names, I herewith char-

Four to eight feet in height, with slender branches light gray or red-
dish, younger shoots densely rusty-tomentose, deciduous on the older
branches; leaves short petiolate, sparsely scattered on the branches,
with short fasciculate branches in the axils, oval to sub-cordate, 1o-
25 mm. in length, dull green, smooth above, tomentose beneath,
strongly triple-nerved from the base, irregularly and coarsely glandular-

On revisiting the always attractive botanical locality of Monterey,
so replete with historical associations, I lost no time in exploring the
brushy wastes north-east of Hotel del Monte, near where, in 1850, I
had collected the typical Ceanothus dentatus, Torr. & Gray, from which
specimens was drawn the excellent figure, Plate X., Bot. Mex. Bdy.
Survey. In my recent paper, Proceed. Dav. Acad., V., p. 171, I had
been inclined to discredit this species, regarding it as a reduced form
of C. papillosus, Torr. & Gray, without the papilla. But here on the
ground, while still fresh from a view of C. papil/osus at its near home
in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the question was soon to be settled. So,
in struggling through a thicket of Adenostoma, my eye was attracted by
a low-branching shrub, with crumpled, varnished leaves of a yellowish-
green aspect. ‘This, on closer inspection proved to be the genuine C.
dentatus, probably from the original locality whence Douglass procured
his specimens. It did not take more than a glance (though I had made
many before on dried specimens) to show that it was clearly distinct.
Much of the confusion that has heretofore attached to this species is

due to the fact that the published descriptions since the original, Torr.
& Gray, N. Am. FL, I. p. 268 (which is clear enough except in the
statement of flowers being white), have been made to cover at least
two very distinct species, especially the one I have recently distinguished
as C. foliosus, Parry, 1. c.

At the time of my visit, May 12, it was already past flowering, except
some belated shoots which belonged rather to a second forced growth
the present season. In these the bright blue color was conspicuous,
but there was lacking the prolonged peduncle of the regular flowering
season. This fact suggests an explanation that would seem to justify
the proposed union of C. foribundus, Hook., with C. dentatus, Torr. &
Gray, the former being known only in cultivation, and mainly distin-
guished from the latter in its condensed inflorescence, which may reas-
onably be regarded as due to the widely different condition of cultivation
in a remote district.

From detailed notes then made on the spot, as well as a subsequent
visit six weeks later, the following additional ¢a¢a are herewith given as
representing the genuine C. penratus, Torr. & Gr. :

Three to four feet in height, densely-branched spreading, with reddish
bark on the older stems, inclined to be angular on the younger shoots
by the decurrence of the petioles; leaves short petiolate, densely fasci-
culate in the axils, variable in size, to—25 mm. in length, oblong ovate
in outline, by the strongly revolute margins and inflexed tip assuming a
truncate wedge shape, smooth, light yellowish green above, canescent
hairy below, with strongly pinnate veins, irregularly toothed, tipped
with conspicuous stalked glands; stipules conspicuous, often coated
with a resinous exudation; inflorescence terminal, globular, on pro-
longed peduncles, or in premature shoots later in the season showing a
prolonged leafy spike; fruit 4 mm. broad, distinctly crested, the resin-
ous coated epicarp deciduous at maturity. Flowering in March, fruit
in May.

In the latter part of May, and early June, a trip was made to the
Upper Sacramento, with a special view to study the different phases of
the somewhat variable but easily recognized Ceanothus integerrimus,
Hook. & Arn. The results helped to confirm the view previously ex-
pressed in regarding all the forms so widely spread through the mount-
ain districts of California as properly belonging to a single somewhat
variable species. ‘Thus, in passing over the country in various direc-
tions at lower or higher elevation, it was everywhere noted as a grace-
ful, slender-branched shrub, displaying its more or less prolonged thyr-

soid inflorescence in every shade of color from pure white to faded or
bright blue. In passing to a higher elevation the flowering period was
correspondingly delayed, so that even in a short day’s journey the
plant could be seen in every stage of growth, from bud to forming
fruit. The tendency was also manifest to assume smaller forms at the
higher points, thus corresponding to the variety parvifolius. Watson.
It may also here be noted that even the entire leaved character is not
constant, as vigorous shoots show not infrequently irregular serratures.
In the same connection it may also be stated that seedlings of other
entire leaved species are deeply and sharply serrate. But these obser-
vations, important for the time being, became secondary in interest to
the study of another species on the rocky slopes of the Upper Sacra-
mento, which could not properly be referred to any described form.
Copious notes and collections then made confirmed this view, and sub-
sequently the same species turned up in collections made by Mr. and
Mrs. Lemmon in Plumas County the present season. Professor Lem-
mon, in sending specimens with accompanying notes in a letter, stated
that he had collected the same as early as 1874. It was then passed
over hastily at Cambridge as a mountain variety of C. ¢thyrsifiorus.
Mr. Lemmon, not satisfied with this determination, re-collected and
examined more carefully on his recent trip to the Sierras, and, our views
coinciding on its specific character, with his consent I take pleasure in
commemorating a long and pleasant botanical association by naming as
CrEANOTHUS LEMMONI, 0. sp. :

Two feet high or less, spreading with rigid branches, bark lightish
gray, more or less hairy pubescent on the younger stems; leaves nar-
rowly elliptic to oval, ro to 25 mm. in length, smooth above, ciliate
pubescent on the veins beneath, glandular-serrate, the serration most
distinct on young, vigorous shoots; stipules somewhat rigid; inflores-
cence short on prolonged leafy peduncles, flowers of a bright or faded
blue color; fruit 4 mm. broad, conspicuously crested.

Habitat: — Johnson’s Ranch, near Quincy, Plumas County, Lemmon,
1874— May 30, 1889. Rocky slopes of the Upper Sacramento Valley,
1888-89, C. C. Parry.

In herbarium specimens this species has probably been heretofore
referred to C. procumbens, Watson, from which it differs essentially in
its rigid habit, its less expanded foliage, and different form of fruit.
On the ordinary travelled route to the Yosemite, where C. procumbens
is conspicuous, spreading over the ground a soft carpet of verdure, the

ordinary traveller— much less the observing botanist — would find little
difficulty in recognizing the distinction, whether by foot or eye.

In conclusion of the above rather desultory notes, though recording
the results of careful, conscientious observation, it may be well to

To’ THE DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES:

In regard to the condition and progress of the Academy museum
for the past year I would respectfully report :

The principal accessions to the archeological department consist
of the contents of twenty-three boxes and barrels of relics from the
southern mounds, collected and forwarded by Capt. W. P. Hall. The
relics are principally ancient pottery, a large portion of which is secured
in a fragmentary condition. The broken vessels have been partially
restored, leaving considerable work to be done to complete it.

The collections of the year comprise over two hundred earthen ves-
sels, including a very considerable variety of forms. The most of these
are packed away for the present, as the cabinet cases are fully occupied
and none have been added during the year. With the pottery came a
variety of stone, flint, and bone implements, and nine mound skulls in
fair condition. ‘The collection of human crania now number 124 well-
preserved specimens. A small collection of flint, agate, and bone im-
plements has also been received, collected during the summer on the
site of an old Maundon town near the banks of the Missouri River, at
Le Beau, Dakota. No explorations of mounds in this vicinity have
been made by the Academy or its members except some work by Rev.
J. Gass, in the north-eastern part of the State, which is described in a
paper from him presented at the December meeting.

In the natural history department eight stuffed birds have been pre-
sented by Dr. S. C. Bowman, and a stuffed alligator, half-grown, a fine
specimen, by D. J. W. Viele.

Mr. H. A. Pilsbry has collected several species of aquatic shells new
to this locality, and he has prepared a catalogue, now nearly completed,
of the whole collection of shells in the museum.

SYNOPSIS OF PROCEEDINGS. 197

In geology and paleentology, Professor Barris has contributed some
new species, described in papers recently published.

Rev. J. Gass forwarded a box of Silurian fossils from Allamakee
County, and M. A. L. Mueller, of Sioux City, contributed an interest-
ing limestone fossil, undetermined, from that locality. The historical
department has received from Dr. E. S. Barrows the likenesses of sev-
eral of the early settlers of this city, and a considerable number of
interesting relics have been added by various contributors. On the
whole, the growth of the museum has been rather less than during
several preceding years, and this is due to want of a sufficient number
of active working members; want of funds for prosecuting researches
and preparing specimens, and want of cases in which to arrange what
is acquired. Nearly all the available space for cases in the building is
now occupied. We could, however, put in the basement four or five
similar to those already there, and they would be very desirable for
collections in local and systematic geology and mineralogy, which are
very much needed. With such collections we could interest and aid
the pupils of the high schools of this and the closely adjacent cities,
and their hitherto occasional visits would become more frequent and
regular. This requires more means, and especially more attention. A
good foundation has been laid and a great deal of earnest, effective
work done, but the whole is incomplete. The opportunity is a grand
one for building up an institution which shall be a constantly growing
stimulus and aid to studies in natural science, and to public education.
To do this will require not only continued but greatly increased active
membership and active support on the part of the community at large.
For the development of earnest and thorough students and workers in
practical science, much is to be hoped from such organizations as the
Agassiz club of young men, which is now holding regular meetings here,
and every effort should be made for the encouragement of that and
similar associations.

LIBRARIAN’S REPORT.
Mr. PRESIDENT:

I have the honor to report that during the year there have been one
thousand five hundred additions to the library. We have received, in
exchange for our Proceedings, the proceedings and publications of one
hundred fourteen scientific institutions and societies of this country,
and of one hundred ten foreign institutions; almost all the govern-
ment reports; all the state public documents; twenty monthly journals,
chiefly scientific; sixteen weeklies, chiefly agricultural and mechanical ;
five general newspapers in addition to the city dailies, together with
about one hundred transient papers containing articles of scientific or
archeological interest. Additions of value have been made under the
heads of Physics, Astronomy, Meteorology, Geology, Mineralogy,
Botany, Entomology, Archeology, Anthropology, Agriculture, Educa-
tion, Biography, and History.

In order to make this really valuable collection available, more shelf-
room is necessary. Some preliminary steps have been taken in regard

198 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.
to cataloguing, and it is hoped that the ensuing year may find some-
thing accomplished in this direction. Cita,

In order to render the large number of scientific, agricultural, and
mechanical journals and papers useful to the community and to the
society, I would suggest the propriety of placing them on file in one of
the lower rooms, where they may be available for reference.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

Jennie McCowen, M.D., Librarian.

PUBLICATION COMMITTEE’S REPORT.

Mr. PRESIDENT, LADIES, AND GENTLEMEN:

Never since the inauguration of the publication of the Proceedings
of the Davenport Academy of Natural Sciences, in 1875, has the out-
look been more encouraging than at the present time, or a deeper
‘nterest taken in the work, both at home and abroad. Applications for
the previous volumes are constantly received, while exchanges have
continued to come from almost every known scientific society in the
world.

Volume IV. is a direct outgrowth of a list from Professor W. H.
Holmes, in September, 1883, through whom the Bureau of Ethnology
made an offer to publish wood cuts of all the most important pieces of
pottery in the Museum of the Davenport Academy of Natural Sciences
for our own publication, afterwards using the same cuts for the volume
of the Smithsonian report. The Academy at a formal meeting accept-
ing this offer, your committee were instructed to proceed with the work,
and raise the necessary funds by subscriptions to Volume IV., dona-
tions, aud entertainments.

The first form of Volume IV. came from the press November 18th,
1883, and form 13, page 120, December, 1884.

Over one-third of Volume IV. is completed, and about one-third
more in press. It is proposed to close this volume with a synopsis of
the records of the past four years ending with 1884.

Mrs. M. L. D. Putnam, Chairman.

PRESIDENT’S ANNUAL ADDRESS.

By H. C. Futon.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:

Upon retiring from the office of President of the Academy at this,
the close of my term, I wish to call your attention to the present
condition of the institution, and make a few suggestions. The year
past has not been one of remarkable growth for the Academy, but has
been one of progress, and the reports show the institution to be in
better condition to-day than ever before. Meetings have been regu-
larly held throughout the year, and the attendance has been good,
though there has been a failure to make them of sufficient interest, and
too much time has been consumed in the routine business of the

SYNOPSIS OF PROCEEDINGS. 199

Academy, and not enough given to scientific study and discussion.
This fault should be corrected, and provision made to give interest to
the meetings, and make them a means of scientific study. One step in
this direction (and one which has been before suggested), is to provide
for the discussion, at each meeting, of some topic of scientific interest,
and in this way stimulate thought and research, and make the Academy
what it is intended to be —an educational institution. The Curator’s
report shows a steady growth in all departments of the Museum, though
not so great as during many other years. It is to be regretted that we
lack shelf space to properly exhibit much valuable material which is
now packed away, and as the present cases are now filled to their
utmost capacity, and almost all case room utilized, there seems to be
no way out of the difficulty excepting to erect the proposed front of
the Academy building, and it is to be hoped means may be provided
at an early date to provide a fund for this purpose.

The Publication Committee has performed much labor in the past
year, and has now in preparation and in hand some of the most
important and valuable work ever attempted in this department of the
Academy, for the particulars of which you are referred to its report. The
importance of our publications demands that it should be continued so far
as means can be provided, and that its compilation embrace papers only
of scientific value, with such matters of Academy details and business
proceedings as are absolutely necessary. As our publications go into
all civilized countries, and have done so much to inform the world of
our work, and thus add to the Academy’s reputation and to its wealth
through exchanges and acquaintance, they should be placed on a high
scientific and literary basis, and be ably and carefully edited. Through
the instrumentality of our publications has the library been largely
added to, as shown by the Librarian’s report. The demand for more
library room, binding of serials and pamphlets, and a complete catalogue
is very pressing and should be provided for as early as possible — par-
ticularly the catalogue, on which depends, to a great extent, the value
of the library.

The report of the Treasurer makes a most gratifying showing; the
receipts of the year being sufficient to pay all expenses, and, with the
dues yet unpaid and collectible, sufficient to cancel the indebtedness
carried over from 1883. ‘The Treasurer’s books show a large sum due
the Academy, but uncollectible, and the same should be charged to
profit and loss, and the members delinquent in their dues stricken from
the roll of membership. The financial showing is very encouraging
when it is remembered there have been no extraordinary receipts
during the year, excepting about $250 received from the lecture course
of last winter, which was the only appeal made to the public.

The Endowment Fund of the Academy is now about $1,000, and
will shortly be increased $250, by the bequest of the late Robert Mc-
Intosh. I heartily concur in the resolution adopted at the last annual
meeting, declaring it to be the desire of the Academy that all endow-
ments should be held inviolate, and only the interest used. The future
prosperity of the Academy will, to a great extent, depend upon endow-

200 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

ments, and every effort should be used to encourage the growth of that

fund. by sacredly preserving it, that it may yield interest, which, it is
hoped, will in time pay the running and working expenses of the
Academy. “To him that hath shall be given,” and a growing endow-

ment fund will draw and increase to itself.

The increase in membership during the past year has not been very
great, and, as we rely upon the annual dues to pay the running ex-
penses of the Academy, the membership should be increased, the best
means of doing this being to give such interest to the Academy pro-
ceedings as will create a desire on the part of intelligent people to join
in its work.

The greatest need of the Academy at this time seems to be active
workers. We have in the past been greatly blessed by having an
efficient corps of laborers, whose work is shown in every department;
but we need new material to add to and fill the ranks as the older
members are compelled, from any cause, to cease their labors. To this
end we should present every inducement and encouragement to scien-
tific study, and offer every facility possible for that purpose, by having
the museum and library in as good working condition as possible, and
by our meetings and publications interest the people in science.

During the past year we have been called upon to mourn the loss of
two members, death having taken from us Dr. R. J. Farquharson and
Dr. George Englemann.

A resolution of thanks was received from the Agassiz Chapter for
the free use of rooms and accommodations for their meetings.

On motion of Dr. Preston, the following resolutions were adopted
without dissent, as stating more fully the sentiments of the Academy in
regard to the attack of Mr. Henshaw:

SYNOPSIS OF PROCEEDINGS. 201

Wuereas, The Second Report of the United States Bureau of Ethnology
contains an unjust and gratuitous attack upon the honor and good faith of this
Academy and some of its members, calling into question the genuineness of
certain articles in its museum; and

WHEREAS, Such attacks must tend to impair and destroy the usefulness of
such collections, and to discourage earnest and faithful workers in their disin-
terested labors; therefore

Resolved, That justice and the interests of science imperatively demand a
complete refutation of these charges, and vindication of the character of the
parties attacked, and especially of our honored associate, Rev. J. Gass; and

Resolved, That the following paper, prepared by Mr. C. E. Putnam, Presi-
dent of the Academy, and, as we are fully satisfied, representing the whole
matter in all truth and fairness, be adopted as our reply to the articles in ques-
tion; and

Resolved, That copies of said paper be published immediately, under the
direction of the Academy Publication Committee, in pamphlet form corres-
ponding with the Academy “ Proceedings,” and that the same be distributed, as
far as possible, to parties who receive the said Report of the Bureau of Ethnol-
ogy, and to all known archeological associations and individual collectors and
explorers, and to all publishers and writers on the subject, and that a record be
kept of all to whom it is sent.

covered, and in a bad state of decay, the stem of his pipe still between
his teeth. He was of the Musquakie or Fox tribe. On May 28th,
1885, he again visited the same locality, and, digging about one foot of
earth and leaves away, found two hatchets, one pipe, and a spear head
(the wood being too rotten to save), which he donated to the Academy
in the name of his daughter, Miss Grace Hall. The bones he left
undisturbed.

Notice was given of the death of Mr. Richard Smetham, a life mem-
ber, who died November 27th, during a visit to England. Dr. C. C.
Parry read a brief sketch of Mr. Smetham, which was ordered published
in the city papers and placed upon the records of the Academy.

EARLY REMINISCENCES OF RICHARD SMETHAM.
By ‘C. C: PARRY:

A well-known form, that for forty years has been familiar to all on
the streets of Davenport, has, for several months past, disappeared
from public view; and now word comes across the broad Atlantic
waves that Richard Smetham, so long a resident here, has taken that
last journey “from whence no traveler returns.”

Born in England, January 8th, 1819; emigrating to America in 1845 ;
making Davenport his home from the spring of 1846 to the summer of
1885; returning for a first and last visit to his native land last August,
and dying among relatives at Southport, England, November 25th,
1885. In these brief items are comprised the principal record of a life
of nearly sixty-seven years, well known to every one present, but by
few really appreciated or understood.

As one of the earliest personal acquaintances of the writer in Daven-
port since the autumn of 1846, and recognizing from the first, under a
reserved exterior, unusual natural and acquired abilities, esteeming him
highly for his worth’s sake, and only regretting that my limited means

206 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

of information will not afford full scope for doing justice to his mem-
ory as a friend and an associate lifemember of the Davenport Acad-
emy of Sciences, I cannot well decline this opportunity of placing on
record a few personal recollections, which may be of interest to those
here present, and not inappropriate to this time and place.

The natural reserve which, in later years, formed one of the marked
traits of Mr. Smetham’s social character, were less conspicuous at an
early day in the history of this and other western towns, when every-
body was expected to take an active part in all public and social rela-
tions, and peculiarities of disposition were merely looked upon as ob-
iects of inquisitive curiosity. But in Mr. Smetham’s case, under this
constitutional reserve lay a concealed depth of warm-hearted, generous
sympathy, manifest only to his most intimate friends, tinged, it may be,
with a slight vein of piquant misanthropy. My first introduction, in
the character of family physician, afforded but a brief insight into the
sacred relations of family life, which in this particular case were sedu-
lously maintained, and guarded from outside intrusion for many years.
The little, lowly cottage, with its picturesque site, crowning the hill
overlooking the broad valley of the Mississippi, which he first selected
for his western home, remained unchanged except in a thicker profu-
sion of fragrant lilacs and blooming roses, while overtopped on every
side by stately mansions of refinement and architectural elegance,
located in part on his original purchase, and fairly represented his own
unobtrusive character of only half-revealed attractions.

Only once that I can remember in the period of his active life (in
1848). Mr. Smetham undertook what in those days was an adventurous
journey, on a raft, from the falls of the St. Croix to St. Louis, and,
while speaking with enthusiasm of the natural beauties of this trip, he
never seemed inclined to repeat its accompanying hardships.

Somewhere about this time (probably in the winter of 1848-9), the
writer was associated with him in an organization called The Trans-
Mississippi Club, the object of which was to keep up a friendly inter-
course of members during life, by yearly meetings and personal records.
This worthy object was, however, never carried out, and our first annual
festival was also our last. According to my present recollection, but
one member of this club, beside myself, is now living in Davenport.

As Mr. Smetham was known to possess a high order of literary
ability, he was frequently urged—but always declined—to give any
public exhibition of the same; only one little poetic gem, which I shall
notice later on, thrown off from his ready pen, found place in print, in
the pages of the Weekly Gazette in 1847.

_As years passed on and other engagements called the writer to far
distant scenes of Jabor, Mr. Smetham, instead of cultivating in public
his higher abilities, assumed in turn the routine drudgery of a country
editor, a post-office clerk, a deputy county treasurer, and finally a bank
cashier. In all these unattractive positions the duties assigned him
were always carried out with scrupulous exactness and unswerving
fidelity. It was only as a side issue, and with a view to needed relax-
ation that he exercised his taste as an art connoisseur, and became an

SYNOPSIS OF PROCEEDINGS. 207

active member and liberal patron of the Davenport Academy of
Sciences. Beneath that earnest face as a frequent attendant at our
regular meetings, lurked the hidden fire of a repressed, thoughtful zeal,
which we would have been glad to see expressed in fitting words had
we the magic power to evoke them; but it was not to be—like the
hero of Gray’s Elegy, which, in many other respects he resembled, be
calmly chose

“Along the cool sequestered vale of life
To keep the noiseless tenor of his way.”

With ample means at his command, he apparently never ventured
beyond his first land speculation, and postponed until too late in life
the inspiration he might have received from a visit to his native land.
Only after years had diminished his physical vigor, and tinged his locks
with silver—after his invalid wife had been laid at rest beneath the
prairie sod, did he undertake alone this long-postponed journey, leaving
an only daughter behind, anxiously expecting news of his speedy re-
covery — instead of which comes the hasty summons to his death-bed ;
alas! not soon enough to receive his parting blessing. And now our
friend and associate finds a peaceful grave in the land of his birth and
early youth.

Let me now, as his old-time friend, do the best thing for his memory
by bringing from its obscure hiding-place and putting on permanent
record in the proceedings of this Academy, of which he was so long an
honored member, the poetic gem before alluded to, entitled “A Prairie
Sunset,” an ode which in its keen appreciation of natural scenery, its
graphic imagery, tender vein of pathos, and polished poetic diction,
would be worthy the pen of a Gray or a Bryant.

It is introduced by the following characteristic note in the Weekly
Gazette of February 22, 1847:

DAVENPORT, Iowa, February 11, 1847.
Mr. Epriror:

Sir — The enclosed verses were written last fall, and are offered to you for
publication in the hope that they may claim from local interest the attention
which they may fail to awaken on the score of poetic merit. I admit your
right, as the priest of your own oracle, to print or refuse them, and I have only
to beg that should you deem them unworthy of your paper, your stove alone
may be the repository of the secret of their existence.

Yours, etc., RS:

A PRAIRIE SUNSET IN AUTUMN.

Emblem of the Eternal! gorgeous sun,
How vainly doth the laboring mind essay
To Jaud thee worthily; since time begun,
Supremely beauteous, thy transcendent ray
Has glittered in the poet’s verse, yet none
Hath yet half told thy glory, King of Day!
Till human praise can match angelic song,
The Muses’ highest flight will do thee wrong.

205 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

How grand thy course, and how august thy birth:
God said “ Let there be light,” and suddenly

Light followed the behest; the heavens, the earth,
The thronging universe, were full of thee;

Thy disc blazed luminous, and light went forth
With swift diffusion, over land and sea;

The morning stars sang rapturous at thy rise,

And dungeon darkness changed to Paradise.

This morn thy face through mists was faintly gleaming,
The hot meridian saw thee conquest-crowned.

Tis eve.. And now thine eyc is softly beaming,
Throwing long shadows on the broidered ground,

And mellow floods of goiden rays are streaming,
Bathing in joyous lustre all around;

Till by thy smile to this poor earth is given

A rich reflection of the hues of heaven.

The sky is crowded with magnificence
To grace and illustrate thy short adieu;
Deep orange is the horizon, from thence
Stretches a lengthened belt of saffron hue,
Bordered with streaks of violet intense,
Attenuating gently into blue;
While in the east a line of silver light
Proclaims the coming of the Queen of Night.

Far round the boundless prairie sinks and swells
With long, low rolls, like a subsiding sea

Which, by strong magic and most potent spells,
Congealed in all its waves, has ceased to be

A thing of ebbs and flows; these hills and dells,
Clothed with luxuriance, flourish steadfastly,

But at this hour the varying landscape seems

To borrow motion from thy shifting gleams.

The genial atmosphere is full of balm;
A Sabbath stillness reigns o’er hill and dale;

Save when the grouse with soft wings fans the calm,
Or with sharp whirrings springs the startled quail,

‘Or where yon small bird pipes his evening psalm;
The nearest house seems like a distant sail;

The bland air vibrates to no human tone,

Wish peace and solitude I am alone.

Yet not alone! the spirit hath a dower

Of dear remembrance, safe from time’s attack,
A sacred treasury, and there is power

In the warm smile of Nature to call back,
Through the bright vistas of this sunset hour,

‘Those who have wandered with us o’er life’s track,
Whose hearts are founts of purest sympathies,
And love right fondly such a scene as this.

They come in spirit from that distant shore,
a rhe mother-land which late I called my home;
Phat sea-girt isle which I may see no more;
2 Sut ’tis a bliss to know, where’er I roam
hat neither lapse of time, nor tempest’s roar,
: Nor constant washing of the salt sea foam,
Can sunder soul from soul, while they may still
Drink kindred draughts trom Nature’s gushing rill.

SYNOPSIS OF PROCEEDINGS. 209

And now the broad red orb has sunk from sight;
The shadows deepen; in the glimmering skies
Lingers a faint and fast receding light;
A misty cloak o’er all the landscape lies;
The dew falls, shaken from the wings of night;
O’er the expiring day the fresh wind sighs;
And I will homeward turn, with thankful heart
That in Creation’s joys I still may claim my part.

On motion, the following resolution was adopted:

Leesolved, That a committee of five be appointed to act in consultation with
the President of the Academy, to investigate the matter of the conduct of Mr.
A.S. Tiffany, in impeaching the genuineness of certain very important relics in
our museum, and in putting in circulation grave charges against the honor and
good faith of his associate members, without having first presented his charges
before the Academy.

The following were appointed as such committee: Messrs. H. C.
Fulton, D. 5S. Sheldon, C. H. Preston, James Thompson, C. C. Parry.

CURATOR’S REPORT.

The additions to the Museum for 1885 included a large number of
archeological relics presented by Captain Hall, a small prehistoric
vessel made of steatite from California; an earthen pipe, and another
of red pipestone, both apparently Indian pipes, a stone relic inscribed
with some very curious characters, all found in this vicinity; several
historical relics, a few mineralogical specimens; mastodon bones and
teeth; a Japanese book of thin sections of the Japanese woods — one
hundred species and three sections of each; three live rattlesnakes; a
collection of southern shells, including some new species; and other
less important articles, too numerous to mention. The Academy needs
a cabinet, illustrating our local geology as fully as possible, and also a
systematic collection in geology and mineralogy, both properly classi-
fied for reference and study, as they would render valuable aid to
members and young societies, and to classes who might visit them from

th lic schools.

PRESIDENT’S ANNUAL ADDRESS.
By C. E. PuTNAM.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:

In the performance of the duty which devolves upon the President,
it has been the almost uniform practice with those who have preceded
me to embrace in the annual address a synopsis of the reports of the
several officers of the Academy; but, as the condition and progress of
the various departments are set forth in these reports, I shall upon this
occasion depart from the usual custom, and omit any reference to
these details.

« When, at the last annual meeting of the Academy, I yielded to the
urgent solicitation of its life members, and accepted the position I
now hold, it was with many misgivings whether the absorbing cares
of a professional life would afford me sufficient leisure to properly
perform its duties. The delightful studies, the intricate researches,
the profound and thoughtful discussions which make up the life
of a scientific association, are so exacting in their requirements as
to almost exclude the ordinary men of business, and limit its active

SYNOPSIS OF PROCEEDINGS. 218

membership to the select students of science. But, learning that this
fair structure, which embodies so many hopes, fears, struggles, which
has been sanctified by sacrifice and ennobled by high ideals, was being
assailed from without, and that a crisis had arrived in the history of the
Academy when its friends and patrons must rally to its support, I could
not refrain from taking my place in the ranks, and using my best en-
deavors to protect it from impending ruin.

At the close of the preceding year there had appeared in the Second
Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology, connected with the Smith-
sonian institution, a virulent attack upon the authenticity of the in-
scribed tablets and elephant pipes in the museum of our Academy, and
this was accompanied by a most unjustifiable assault upon the Rey. Mr.
Gass, the principal discoverer. ‘These charges against our Academy
were made by Henry W. Henshaw, an employe in that department,
and had the approval, and were published with the endorsement of,
Major Powell, the Director of the Bureau. As the high position
attained by the Academy in the world of science has been largely due
to these important discoveries, it will be perceived that to permit this
charge to go undefended would be not only an injustice to the discov-
erers, but destructive of its influence and usefulness. The gentleman
making these accusations was not an archeologist, never inspected the
relics in question, was never on the ground where they were found, was
unacquainted with the discoverers, as also with the members of the
Academy, never made an inquiry of either, and hence it should surprise
no one that his publication was made up of blunders and falsehoods in
about equal proportions. Still, as it appeared in a government publi-
cation, and thus was supported by official sanction, it was calculated, if
uncontradicted, to do great injury. Early in the past year, therefore,
a paper was prepared setting forth the facts in the case, and pointing
out the errors in the published statement of Mr. Henshaw, and this
vindication of the authenticity of our relics was printed in pamphlet
form, and widely distributed. It was generally received with favor and
approbation, as is evidenced by an extensive correspondence with
eminent archeologists in this country and Europe. ‘There should be
nothing discouraging in this controversy to the members of the Acad-
emy. We all know Rev. Mr. Gass to be a worthy and true man, we
all have entire faith in the genuineness of our relics, and, in the end,
truth and justice will prevail. Indeed, this attack itself attests the great
scientific value of these interesting relics. It discloses, too, the preg-
nant fact that, in the honorable strife for precedence in archeological
research, we have outstripped our competitors, and hence this abortive
attempt to detract from the value of our discoveries. It also makes it
clear that at last the Academy has reached the age of manhood. In
our infant days we were encouraged some, petted perhaps a little, oc-
casionally, it may be, passed by with indifference; but now that our
little planet has crossed the orbits of these official luminaries, we are
the recipients of sturdy blows, which indicate that we are at last recog-
nized as among the stalwarts in the scientific world. I therefore con-
gratulate you, ladies and gentlemen, that we have at last attained to

212 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

the age of persecution, and can now claim for our Academy the crown
of martyrdom.

The Davenport Academy has sprung into being, as it were, in a
night, and seems almost like some fantastic fairy structure. Yet here
it stands, real, substantial, a goodly edifice, with possessions gathered
from the earth and the seas —a vast treasure-house of scientific riches.
The publications of our Academy are in all the public libraries of the
world, and in exchange we have regularly placed on our tables the
publications of other scientific societies, in every tongue and from all
civilized lands. It is undoubtedly true that our little Academy is now
recognized as among the few successful organizations in our country.
Yet it has had no capital, no endowment, no income. It relied only
on faith, hope, persistence, but thése have never failed it. It had only
to express a need, and it was provided for; only to protfer a request,
and a whole community, as it were, rose up to grant it. What means
this wonderful success? Simply this: Our Academy belongs to the
city; it represents the best thought, the highest aspirations of its citi-
zens. Their wealth is its capital, their generosity its endowment, their
thoughtful care its income. Why, look you, ladies and gentlemen, only
a year or two since, the attention of the friends and patrons of the
Academy was called to a burdensome debt hanging over it, and imme-
diately our citizens crowded to the rescue. A few prominent and in-
fluential men directed the movement, spoke only a few earnest, well-
directed words, and the debt disappeared like the mists of the morning.
So, too, early in the past year, funds were needed to meet some small
current obligations, and immediately there was conceived in the teem-
ing brains of some of our members a “Carnival of All Nations.” The
entire community entered with zeal and energy into the realization of
this happy thought, and the result was a magnificent representation,
which makes almost an epoch in the history of our city. It brought
amusement and instruction to its participants, and a considerable in-
crease of resources to the Academy. ‘Thus it is our Society is buoyed
up, and carried onward by the necromancy of success.

In this connection it may be well to add a few words of explanation
concerning the Endowment Fund. Of the amount raised at the citi-
zens’ meeting a few years since, the surplus of about eight hundred
dollars remaining after the payment of the debts of the Academy, in-
creased during the past year to the sum of one thousand dollars through
the legacy of the late Robert McIntosh, has been securely invested in
a farm mortgage, bearing eight per centum interest, and this is now the
nucleus of our Endowment Fund. Belonging to this fund there still
remains a small balance which will be invested in like manner as soon
as the amount is sufficiently large to make it practicable. It is with
societies as with individuals, when they live within their incomes and
begin to save, their success is assured. During the past year an oppor-
tunity was afforded the Academy to purchase four feet of ground
adjoining its building on the north, and, as it was essential for both
light and ventilation, the proposition was accepted. ‘The note of the
Academy for three hundred twenty dollars, the price of the same, is

SYNOPSIS OF PROCEEDINGS. 213

now outstanding, and early provision should be made for its payment.

The Constitution of our Academy provides for a permanent Publi-
cation Fund, the income of which should only be used to carry on the
publication. Quite recently, Mr. Charles Viele, of Evansville, Indiana,
contributed the sum of fifty dollars as the commencement of this fund,
which entitles the donor to receive all the publications of the Academy
issued thereafter for life. Building on this corner-stone so auspiciously
laid, we shall confidently expect in the near future to have this fund
well established by other generous contributions. The value of the
regular publication of our proceedings cannot be overestimated. It
incites to original research, and through exchanges keeps us acquainted
with the most recent investigations and discoveries throughout the
scientific world. But for the information thus acquired we might be
groping at the solution of problems already solved by other investiga-
tors. Undoubtedly the high standing of our Academy at this time is
in large part due to its enterprise in thus publishing to the world its
great discoveries. During the year, through the indefatigable exertions
of the Publication Committee, the printing of Volume IV. of our Pro-
ceedings has been successfully accomplished, and the volume will soon
be ready for distribution. It is a gratification to be able to state that
this work has been carried on without imposing financial burdens upon
the Academy, and that in point of scientific interest it will compare
favorably with preceding volumes.

In the early autumn it was decided, with the beginning of the new
year, to throw open the Museum and Library of the Academy to the
public, free of charge for admission. Accordingly. on January rst, the
door-keeper was withdrawn, and now any citizen of Davenport, or any
stranger visiting the city, is entitled to freely inspect its museum
and consult its library. As this institution has been built up by the
voluntary contributions of citizens, it seemed only right and proper
that all should have free access to its building, and an equal share in
its privileges. Visitors hereafter will only be required to conform to
certain rules and regulations essential to the preservation of its valuable
collections.

It was also wisely decided, some time since, to open the Academy
building during certain hours on the Sabbath day. It is well known
that there are large numbers among our business men, as well as among
the artisan and laboring classes, whose only leisure is on this day; and
hence, but for this beneficent arrangement, they would be debarred
from its privileges. It is considered that this new policy will subserve
a wise and good purpose. The great book of Nature, which is here
opened for study, cannot be otherwise than purifying and ennobling in
the formation of character, and the educating influences thus exerted
are as far-reaching as they are beneficent. 1 know of no instrumental-
ity so effective to counteract the dissipation and frivolity which too
often and with too many rule this day. Those mistake who think that
our scientific workers are alone found among the wealthy or the highly
educated. Many an artisan, as he passes along to his daily task, is
pondering some of the deep problems of science, and not infrequently

214 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. 2

the hard hand of toil is accompanied with the thoughtful brow of the
student. The masters of the future in science, as in politics, will come
from the ranks of industry, and therefore it is a wise provision which
affords to this class such excellent opportunities for improvement.

The fact must not be overlooked that institutions like this Academy
take high rank in the scheme of public education. In them the student
is brought face to face with Nature —the great storehouse of all knowl-
edge. Here are learned Jessons of close observation and careful re-
search, and out of the habits of mind thus formed have come the great
discoveries and inventions which distinguish our modern civilization.
It seems almost impossible to exaggerate the beneficent influences
which result from the study of science. Instead of passing the best
years of life mastering the “dead languages,” which, when acquired, can
be of little practical value, those engaged in scientific research learn
the great truths of creation, and master the utilities of life. The dis-
coveries of steam and electricity, for example, and the inventions by
which these mighty elements have been subjected to human use, are
among the direct results of the studies encouraged by such institutions,
and it is these things which make up the superiority of modern over
ancient civilization.

It is undoubtedly true that the ranks of our members engaged in
original research have been somewhat thinned by death and removal,
and this fact has been the occasion of some solicitude concerning the
future of our Academy. We,-however, need entertain no fear, for the
workers are near at hand. There has recently been noticed among
the youth of the land a great scientific uprising, which is destined to
rank as one of the epochs of history. In 1880 an Agassiz Association
was formed through the instrumentality of Harlan H. Ballard, of Lenox,
Mass., having for its object the study of natural history among young
persons. ‘There are now over nine hundred separate chapters in this
and other countries, with over 10,000 members. The institution has
an excellent organization.. Each chapter must have not less than four
members, and may elect its own officers, adopt its own rules and pursue
whatever course of study is deemed desirable. ‘The first great conven-
tion of the Agassiz Association was held at Philadelphia, in 1884, and it
is in contemplation to hold the next national gathering in Davenport
during the coming summer. There are two Davenport chapters of
this association, one containing thirty-two members, consisting mainly
of high school scholars, and the other about forty members, derived
from the grammar schools. Both chapters hold weekly meetings in
the Academy building. We thus have our scientific successors close
at hand, and therefore need have no fear but that our work will be
taken up and carried onward to a still more splendid success.

It should be noted in this review that during the past year we have
been favored with visits from Dr. Willes De Hass, of Washington, D.C., -
and Rev. J. P. MacLean, of Hamilton, Ohio. Both these distinguished
archeologists, while in Davenport, delivered lectures gratuitously, for
the benefit of the Academy. Dr. De Hass, it will be remembered, was
the gentleman who took the famous Grave Creek tablet to Washington,

SYNOPSIS OF PROCEEDINGS. 215

and placed before the world the facts of its discovery, and Rev. Mr.
MacLean, in his “Mound Builders,” has, perhaps, advanced the strong-
est arguments yet presented tending to establish the authenticity of
that interesting relic. ‘There are thus no more competent archzeologists
in the country, and both these gentlemen, after a careful examination
of our Elephant Pipes, and inquiry into the history of their discovery,
expressed entire confidence in their authenticity.

During the past year we have been called to mourn the loss of Mr.
Richard Smetham, one of our life members. While this kindly and
genial gentleman did not personally engage in scientific research, he
had an intelligent appreciation of its value, was a frequent visitor to
our rooms, and took a lively interest in the welfare of the Academy.
A gentleman of delicate sensibilities, generous culture, and fine abilities,
his loss leaves a vacancy in the ranks of our life members not easily
filled. Our associate, Dr. C. C. Parry, has already made the death of
Mr. Smetham the subject of a most appropriate obituary notice, which
appears in our published proceedings.

Before closing this review, it is fitting we should recall the fact that
it is a principal object of an association like our own to advance the
frontiers of human knowledge, and it will be well, therefore, for us to
pause, take a backward glance over our career, and ascertain what
contributions we have made to the great storehouse of facts. Man is
placed here on earth surrounded by mystery, and it is only here and
there some adventurous explorer penetrates this vast unknown, and
brings to light some new fact of creation. Thus, the duration of man’s
existence on earth has long been the subject of extensive research
and profound speculation. In the special field of archeology this
Academy has accomplished important results. Our pottery, our cloth-
covered copper axes, our inscribed tablets, our elephant pipes, are
absolutely unique, and unequaled in any other collection in the world.
They carry back the age of man into the far distant past, when the
gigantic mammoth frequented our prairies, while yet the glaciers were
at work preparing a home for civilization. And when the history of
these wonderful relics shall be written, it will not fail to record the
adventurous voyages of the “Old Man in the Skiff,” Capt. Wilfred P.
Hall, which have enriched our museum with all this rare old pottery ;
it will take note, too, of the disinterested and indefatigable labors of
Rev. J. Gass, in his ceaseless delving in mound and earthwork until he
brought forth, and freely placed in the museum of the Academy, relics
from the far past so rare they open a new page in human history; nor
will the historian fail to take count of the intelligent observation, the
exact knowledge, and the tireless labors of our Curator, Prof. W. H.
Pratt, in bringing order and symmetry out of all this mass of material,
and thus making possible its scientific study. So, too, in another line
of research, our associate, Prof. W. H. Barris, has penetrated into the
bowels of the earth, and read so truthfully the story of the rocks that
they must bear his name to distant generations. And who does not
know that the name of Dr. C. C. Parry has been stamped upon the
mountain peak, and traced in lines of beauty on many a mountain

210 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

flower. And may I not add, that whomsoever in future years shall
seek to study the So/pugide, must needs come back to the early
labors, the exact researches of that young entomologist who gave this
study his parting breath, his last thought on earth. True it is, the man
who adds a new fact to the sum of human knowledge is entitled to a
place among the immortals; and it may be our citizens have builded
better than they knew, and that this foster-child of their bounty will
not only carry the name and fame of their fair city into other lands,
but will perpetuate it to distant ages.

It only remains for me to call your attention to the fact that at no
distant day it will be found necessary to complete the present building.
It is already needed. The museum is now crowded to overflowing.
For want of shelf-room, it is found impossible to properly arrange and
classify all the specimens in our collection. The books and pamphlets,
too, which have come to the Academy without cost, now crowd its
shelves to repletion. The generous citizens of Davenport must finish
their good work, and give us more room in the near future. “To accom-
plish this only requires concert of action. Where many cooperate, the
individual burden is light. ‘The anticipation of this completed building
has been in the thoughts of earnest workers of the Academy these
many years. In this world of ours the ideal precedes the real, and
slowly but surely faith works out its problems. The completed build-
ing will, therefore, soon be erected, and when that happy hour arrives
and our citizens throng its corridors to witness the spectacles it presents,
methinks, to the eye of faith, the curtains that separate us from infinity
should be put aside, and we be permitted to behold, standing on that
other shore, an old man and a youth, with the once closed ear now
attuned to the music of the spheres, and the wonted wan cheek now
all aglow with the bloom of the celestial hills; and to the ear of faith
there should come sounding across the abyss their glad acclaim: “It
is finished! It is finished!”

J. Duncan Putnam, which had been on deposit in the Academy since
1877, and asked the appointment of a committee, with whom to confer
in arranging the terms to be attached to the proposed donation.

The following committee was appointed: Dr. C. C. Parry, Prof.
Herbert Osborn, W. H. Pratt.

March 26, 1886.— REGULAR MEETING.
Vice-President J. B. Phelps presiding; twenty-eight members present.

Publication Committee presented bound copy of Volume IV. of the
Proceedings, with brief statement of contents. Reported an extra
issue of five hundred copies, necessary to supply the demand, growing
each year, for our exchange list; also, an increase in the ntimber of
pages over any previous volume. Arrangements are already perfected
for commencing Volume V., four papers of scientific value now in the
hands of the Committee.

Mrs. M. L. Marks was elected a regular member; D. S. Harris, of
Cuba, Illinois, elected to corresponding membership.

The special committee to investigate the conduct of Mr. A. S. Tiffany,
under resolution of December 26, 1885, would respectfully report that
it has carefully investigated the matter set forth in the foregoing resolu-
tion, and finds:.

That Mr. A. S. Tiffany has impeached the genuineness of the so-
called “limestone tablet” and “elephant pipes,” by declaring by parole
to a number of persons, and by declaring in a letter written by him to
Prof. P. W. Norris, under date of October 27, 1882, which letter was
given by said Prof. Norris to Prof. Cyrus Thomas, that said relics were
frauds; all of which was done by Mr. Tiffany without having ever pre-
sented to the Academy any charges against the genuineness of said
relics.

That in said letter, and also by parole, Mr. Tiffany has charged our
associate, Mr. C. E. Harvyison, with being a party to the alleged fraud,
in having manufactured said “limestone tablet,’ and has made said
charges without having ever presented the same to the Academy for
investigation.

That Mr. A. S. Tiffany was before your committee, in person and by
attorney. That he admitted having written said letter to Prof. Norris,
but denied that he had made the charge orally, although it was in evi-
dence that he had so done to several persons, and to at least one mem-
ber of your committee. He also stated to your committee that he
believed Mr. C. E. Harrison to be guilty of the fraud, as charged by
him, and that he could prove his belief to be true; but refused to pre-
sent any proof, or attempt the same, or to inform your committee why
he held such belief, and gave as his reason for the refusal that he under-
stood Mr. Harrison had threatened to bring a civil, action against him

for damages arising out of the charges made, and that he considered
the evidences of the alleged fraud matters to be used in defense
against such an action, and that to put Mr. Harrison in possession of
the same would give him an unfair advantage in the event of the
threatened litigation. Mr. Tiffany further admitted that he had never
presented to the Academy any charges against the genuineness of said
relics, the genuineness of their finding, or against the honesty and good
faith of Mr. Harrison in regard to the same.

Your committee has not deemed it within its province —under the
foregoing resolution—to inquire into the genuineness of said relics,
except as far as it might be necessary, in the event of evidence of fraud
being offered. But no evidence has been offered that might, in any
way, lead to the Academy changing its present position in regard to
these relics; or to sustain any charges made by Mr. Tiffany. Neither
is there any reason, known to yovr committee, for doubting the entire
correctness of the statements made at the time of finding, or since, by
the gentlemen concerned in the discovery of the relics.

In conclusion, your committee recommends that Mr. Tiffany — who,
by his own acknowledgment, has been guilty of acts, as above men-
tioned, which are clearly unjust, and especially to be condemned in a
member of a scientific association—be subjected to the penalty of
expulsion from the regular membership of the Academy.

On motion, the report was accepted and placed on file, and com-
mittee discharged.

The following resolution was then offered and passed — yeas, 25;
nays, 2:

WHEREAS, The special committee appointed by the Academy on December
26, last, to investigate the matter of the conduct of Mr. A.S. Tiffany, in making
and putting in circulation grave charges against the honor and good faith of his
associate members, having reported that, after a careful investigation, it finds
Mr. Tiffany, by his own acknowledgments, guilty of the charges made by the
resolution, and that he still claims his charges to be true, but refuses to attempt
to present any proof of the same; and

WHEREAS, The committee recommends that Mr. Tiffany be subjected to
the penalty of expulsion from the regular membership of the Academy ; and

WHEREAS, We believe the action recommended by the committee to be
just, under the circumstances; that vindication against unproven charges is due
to the gentlemen instrumental in the discovery of the relics charged to be
frauds; that the Academy owes to itself the duty of protection against internal
dissension, to the end that its energies may be directed to the purposes of its
organization, and not,to be wasted on controversies instituted without apparent

foundation, and encouraged by other than honest scientific motives; and fur-
ther, believing that it would be unjust to require those whose honor and good
faith are brought in question by the charges of Mr. Tiffany, to work in the
Academy and attend its meetings with him; therefore

Be it Resolved, That Mr. A. S. Tiffany be, and hereby is, expelled from the
regular membership of the Academy.

In view of statements made by Dr. C. T. Lindley, in his speech in
defense of Mr. Tiffany, the following motion was offered:

Moved, That a committee, consisting of Messrs. G. P. McClelland, Rey. Dr.
Barris, Prof. D. S. Sheldon, and J. B. Phelps, be appointed, to investigate the
matter of certain defamatory charges against members of the Academy, made
by Dr. C. T. Lindley.

Dr. Lindley desired to have G. W. French on the committee, and
his name was accepted by the mover and added thereto.

The motion was unanimously adopted.

The special committee, to whom was referred the investigation of the
charges made by Dr. Lindley against members of the Academy, re-
ported as follows:

Dr. Lindley charges, (1) That curved base pipes have been made in
the Academy; (2) That people about town know it; (3) That Mr.
Pratt knows all about it; (4) He (Lindley) not only knew that they
were made, but had seen them made; (5) Mr. Tiffany had good rea-
sons for his conduct. he knew the tablets were frauds, and that other
frauds were committed; (6) He is not alone in this belief; it is shared
by some of the most respected members of the Academy; (7) Mr.
Harrison has made fraudulent tablets, and passed them off as genuine;
(8) Mr. Pratt is dishonest in that if he should pack his (Lindley’s) col-
lection, he would drop out and leave behind the most valuable speci-
mens; (9) The Committee on Tiffany’s conduct did not want to reach
the facts in the case, and were neither just nor fair in their action; (10)

upon. He is going to see that every scientist in Europe hears of these
things, and every time they are smoothed over he is going to “boom it
up again.”

May 28, 1886.— REGULAR MEETING.

President C. E. Putnam in the chair; thirty-seven members present.

On motion, the report of the investigation committee in the case of
Dr. Lindley, was adopted.

Prof. D. S. Sheldon offered the following resolution :

WHEREAs, Dr. Clarence T. Lindley has repeatedly assailed the integrity of
this Association and certain of its members, and has finally formulated and
presented before the Academy certain defamatory charges, which, on a judicial
investigation by a commitee consisting of G. P. McClelland, Rev. W. H. Bar-
ris, G. Watson French, and J. B. Phelps, were proved to be wholly unfounded ;
and

WueErREAS, The said Lindley has openly proclaimed his hostility to the
Academy, and threatened to persist in his efforts to disturb its harmony and
peace, and had thus violated his plain obligations as a member; and

WuerEAs, The longer retention of said Lindley as an associate would tend
to impair the usefulness, and subvert the objects of this Association and injure
its standing in this community, and discredit it among similar societies else-
where; therefore

Be it Resolved, That Dr. Clarence T. Lindley be forthwith expelled from
membership in the Davenport Academy of Natural Sciences, and that the Sec-
retary be instructed to strike his name from the roll.

Dr. Lindley being present, and declining to withdraw during the dis-
cussion, on motion of Dr. Parry he was permitted to remain, if he
desired to do so, and the yeas and nays on the motion to expel were
called for in his presence, with the following result: Yeas, 36; nays,
none.

Mr. H. G. Sharfenburg and John J. Dahms were elected to regular
membership, and the following corresponding members were elected:

June 11, 1886.—MEMORIAL MEETING

in honor of Prof. David S. Sheldon.
President C. E. Putnam in the chair; thirteen members present.

The following resolutions were unanimously adopted :

WHEREAS, Our dearly loved associate and friend, Prof. David S. Sheldon,
at a ripe old age, but in the midst of an active usefulness, has finished his work
here, and entered upon the rest pertaining to the higher life,

Resolved, That in his departure, the Academy of Natural Sciences has lost
a most efficient co-worker in the cause of science, and for the interests of the
Institution, of which he was one of the founders, the first president, and always
a zealous and active member.

Resolved, That we who remain will always bear in mind his accustomed kind
and cordial greeting, and his cheerful aid and encouragement in all our plans.
Naturalists and lovers of true science have long recognized in him the devoted
student and the experienced teacher. Admirers of a true and noble life will
mourn the removal of one of the brightest examples of such a life. Of him it
may be most truly said: “The world is the better that he has lived in it.”

Resolved, That in his death the cause of education loses one of the ablest
and wisest workers; a teacher of teachers, whose pupils now scattered through
this and foreign lands, ever turn to his memory with love and reverence.

224 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

Resolved, That we hereby express our deep sympathy with the relatives and
connections, in the loss of such a loved member of the family circle.

Fesolved, That these resolutions be entered upon the records of the Acad-
emy, and that copies be furnished for publication and for the daily papers.

Mrs. Putnam, on behalf of the Publication Committee, bore testi-
mony to the great loss they had sustained in the death of one who had,
from the first, given the enterprise his warmest support.

Remarks were also made by Dr. Parry, H. C. Fulton, Hon. George
H. French, Mr. Pratt, and W. H. Holmes.

The biographical sketch of Prof. D. S. Sheldon, presented by Dr. C.
C. Parry (since included in Vol. V., pp. 179-84) was referred to the
Publication Committee.

June 25, 1886.— REGULAR MEETING.

President C. E. Putnam in the chair; six members present.

Curator reported a number of donations to the museum, among
which were a cast of the “Waverly Tablet,” from Prof. J. P. MacLean,
of Hamilton, Ohio, and a collection of fossils from Prof. W. H. Barris,
including the type specimens of crinoids figured in his papers published
in the Academy proceedings.

Mr. Harrison desired to present his collection of several hundred
natural history, geological and archzolgical specimens unconditionally
to the Academy. This offer was accepted with a special vote of thanks.

In pursuance of action taken by the Academy and communication
presented by Mr. and Mrs. Putnam, at a former meeting, regarding the
presentation of the entomological collection, cabinets and library of
the late J. Duncan Putnam, Dr. C. C. Parry, chairman of committee
then appointed, presented the report of said committee, specifying cer-
tain conditions under which it would be proper that such presentation
should be made and accepted by the Academy, viz. :

CONDITIONS

under which the J. D. Putnam Entomological collection is to be donated
to the Davenport Academy of Natural Sciences.

1. The Academy to assume proper care of the collection, by having it ex-
amined at least once a year by a competent entomologist.

2. The accompanying cases and drawers not to be used for additional col-
lections to the exclusion of original specimens, except to introduce more com-
plete material, or more fully illustrate original species; badly injured or
mutilated original specimens to be preserved in best possible shape, unless
duplicated by two or more perfect specimens. Type-specimens of original
description to be very carefully preserved, and conspicuously so marked.

3. All labels of locality, date, name, etc., to remain on the pins as originally
placed, and any additional labeling or change of name to be placed on separate
slips below the original.

4. No specimens or books to be taken from the building without the written
consent of the Academy Trustees or the donors.

5. Accompanying entomological books to be plainly marked as the Putnam
donation, and all unbound pamphlets not to be placed on the shelves for general
use until bound by the Academy.

6. Failure to comply with said conditions to annul the donation; or, on the
dissolution of the Academy or diversion to other than scientific objects, the
donation to revert to the donors or legal heirs.

7. Academy to ratify these conditions by formal resolution, an official copy
of which to be furnished to the donors.

Signed, C. C. PARRY.
HERBERT OSBORN (by letter).
Wi EL PRATT

The committee then presented the following resolutions of actept-
ance of the generous proposition :

Resolved, First, That the Davenport Academy of Sciences hereby formally
accepts, under the conditions recommended by the report of a special com-
mittee herewith received and endorsed by the donors, viz.: The entomological
collection, with accompanying cases and books, of the late J. Duncan Putnam,
heretofore deposited in the rooms of the Academy.

Second, That in thus gratefully accepting this munificent gift, the Academy
also desires to place on record its appreciation of the noble character of un-
selfish devotion to scientific objects which was so worthily displayed in the life
and labors of our late associate, the gifted founder of the collection.

Third, We also desire, on this occasion, to express our high regard for that
exhibition of parental encouragement and liberality which has proved an essen-
tial factor in bringing out such valuable results which, by this gift, are incor-
porated for all time in this institution, of which the virtual donor, J. Duncan
Putnam, was an efficient co-worker and liberal patron, and an illustrious example
worthy of our earnest imitation.

Fourth, That a copy of these resolutions be conspicuously displayed in con-
nection with the collections herein referred to, and the original papers referring
to this matter be placed on file in the archives of the Academy.

In moving the adoption of the report, Dr. C. C. Parry addressed the
Academy, as follows:

It is quite unnecessary to state before those here present that the
donation now made to this Academy, of the J. Duncan Putnam entomo-
logical collection and library, represents no ordinary gift. Aside from
its actual pecuniary value, which I have reason to know is not small, it is
also important in inaugurating a policy that this Academy will hereafter
require a full control of all the collections placed within its custody,
and for which it is, in a measure, responsible. While I do not under-

[Proc. D. A. N.8., Vol. V.] 29 [September 17, 1889. }

‘

226 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

stand it to rigidly exclude special deposits for temporary use or con-
venience for special studies, it does mean that no private collection,
over which it has no control, can be accumulated in its limited space
to the virtual exclusion of its own undisplayed material. This is so
manifestly just that I do not see how any exceptions.can be made to it.

When, several years ago, I was specially invited to deposit my botan-
ical collections in a room of the Academy ostensibly designed for that
purpose, in accepting, at the time, the courtesy offered, I clearly saw
that if the collection, as I hoped and expected, would grow under my
hand, its proper care and arrangement would require more room and
attention than could be reasonably devoted to it in an institution in-
cluding other and more popular branches of science. I therefore, at
the proper time, quietly withdrew my collection from its temporary
custody.

Since then, as is plainly to be seen, the Academy collections have
largely outgrown the available room for their accessible arrangement
and display. The library shelves are loaded down with unbound vol-
umes that are virtually sealed books, and the damp, dimly-lighted base-
ment is in request for storage or limited display of desirable collections.
Of course, the first natural suggestion under such circumstances would
be, why not appeal to the public, who are directly interested, for an
addition to this building, properly to accommodate its constantly en-
larging material for study or display. Let those who have heretofore
“in the heat and burden of the day” carried this load of popular solici-
tation answer this suggestion. It would probably come in the form of
“Try wt yourself.”

Till our Davenport Peabody or Lick makes his appearance, we must
be content to do the best we can with limited means, and the first
exercise of economy will be to cut off outside expenses; hence, prop-
erly arises the policy of declining the custody of private collections.

That such a policy should immediately result in such valuable dona-
tions to our collections, as that now under consideration, could hardly
be expected; but that it will eventually lead to such results is reason-
able, from the fact that actual ownership implies special care and
protection, and hence affords the best guarantee of an appreciative use
of such donations.

But, to come back to the point that first started these suggestions :
We have now placed in our hands the ownership, under reasonable con-
ditions, of a most instructive and valuable collection of entomological
material—historically interesting in its direct association with one who
derived his earliest inspiration toward such pursuits in our associated
membership ; scientifically valuable in its profoundly thorough investi-
gation and copious illustration—above all, memorable as a noble ex-
ample to all of unselfish devotion to pure scientific pursuits. As such,
let us gracefully accept it.

The report was adopted unanimously. Accompanying, were the
written conditions under which the Academy becomes owner of the
collection and books, signed by Mr. and Mrs. Putnam, as accepted.

Mr. Faweett, of the British Museum, being present, was introduced
by Dr. Parry and invited to participate in the deliberations of the even-
ing. Mr. Fawcett expressed great pleasure in being able to attend a
meeting of the Davenport Academy of Natural Sciences, and espe-
cially in hearing the paper of Dr. Parry, which he regarded as a very
valuable contribution to botanical knowledge. He then proceeded to
give, in response to inquiry, a very interesting sketch of the British

’

Museum—its origin, gradual growth, present dimensions, character of
buildings, management, means of support, etc. Mentioned that one
special feature of the management was the fostering of special collec-
tions in local societies, great attention being given to illustrating local
flora and fauna and local archeology; also to forestry. Attention had
been forced to the latter by the great destruction of forests and conse-
quent change of climate in some parts of the British Empire, notably
in India, where the Forest Department is very strict and requires that
wherever a tree is cut down another shall be planted in its place.

Mr. Pratt then read a paper on “Aerial Navigation,” which was fol-
lowed by a general discussion.

President C. E. Putnam in the chair; twelve members and a number
of visitors present.

Curator reported some very valuable additions to the museum, the
most notable of which was a collection of sixty-three species of fossils
from the Paris basin, by Prof. Barris; and a number of exceedingly
beautiful specimens secured by himself on a recent trip to the crinoid
beds of Marshalltown.

Prof. Hatch reported a trip to the Ozark Mountains, and collections
in botany and zoology.

S. M. Tracy, Professor of Botany in the University of Missouri, being
present, was called upon, and made a few remarks in a very pleasant
and complimentary strain, commenting on the advantages enjoyed by
the members of the Davenport Academy.

Drs. Hoepfner, Jaenicke, and Matthey, and Mr. M. H. Calderwood,
of Eldridge, were elected to regular membership, and Mr. C. T. Simp-
son and Rey. J. P. MacLean as corresponding members.

H. A. Pilsbry presented a paper describing “A New Hydrobinoid
Mollusk, with Notes on Other Rissoidz.”

Mr. Pilsbry also gave an interesting account of some “plants” of
mollusks near Davenport. During a recent collecting trip to Sylvan
Water, he found a mollusk new to the Mississippi River. On showing
it to the Curator of the Academy, he was referred to Academy Pro-
ceedings, Vol. II., p. 26, where an account is given of Mr. Pratt having
brought from Peoria, Illinois, fresh-water shells not found in this vicin-
ity, and transplanting some of the living shells into Sylvan Water. Mr.
Pilsbry’s findings, ten years later, show that their new station proved
favorable to the mollusks. He further desired to have recorded the
planting of a land mollusk, A/es. Albolabris, on the Island, the speci-
mens being from Des Moines.

In view of the approaching National Convention of the Agassiz
Association, to be held in this city, the Academy voted to appoint com-
mittees to codperate with the local Agassiz Clubs in any way which
might be conducive to the success of the meeting.

Dr. McCowen then read a paper on “Earthquakes,” a concise history
from 1606 B. C., a summing up of the different theories as to causation
now in vogue, closing with suggestions as to how science may render
good services to humanity in recommendations as to building materials,
methods of construction, etc., so as to render comparatively harmless
the slight shocks which visit the United States and which are becoming
more noticeable as the country is more thickly settled.

Dr. Parry then read an interesting account, by an eye witness, of
the earthquake at New Madrid, Missouri; and Mr. James Thompson,
a newspaper article on earthquakes, by Proctor.

The photographs sent by Mr. McGee, and a large map prepared by

Mr. Fulton opened the discussion of the evening on “Fuel,” with a
very complete resume of the different kinds, their qualities and sources.
He dwelt particularly on the vast waste in mining, in transportation, in
handling, and, finally, in burning; and made important suggestions as
to how much of it might be avoided. He also spoke of the various
recent inventions for preparing valuable fuel from the immense masses
of waste accumulated in the mining regions everywhere.

The subject was discussed by Dr. Hazen, Dr. Preston, and Messrs.
Williston, Witherell, and Harrison.

LIBRARIAN’S REPORT.

The Librarian, H. A. Pilsbry, having removed to Philadelphia, the
report on the library was presented by W. H. Pratt, acting Librarian.
(Abstract. )

The register shows an accession, during the year, of 1958 publica-
tions, embracing the usual range of home and foreign exchanges and
public documents, and including a great many valuable and some very
rare works.

The Library Committee, during the past year, has adopted a plan
for a card catalogue of subjects, and has it well started, so that this
important work, which will more than double the availability and value
of the library, can be carried on as time and circumstances will permit.
Membeis were urged to aid in this work. More shelf room js also im-
peratively needed, and large numbers of pamphlets and serials should
be bound as soon as practicable.

PUBLICATION COMMITTEE’S REPORT.— AsstrRact.

Completion of Volume IV., of 1,500 copies; distributed 7o2.

Receipts, $1,258.78; expenditures, $1,227.18.

Volume V., now in process of publication, will contain as frontispiece
the portrait of the late Prof. D. S. Sheldon.

Mrs. M. L. D. Putnam, Chairman.

PRESIDENT’S ANNUAL ADDRESS.

By C. E. Putnam.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:

In the history of a society, as in the life of an individual, these re-
curring anniversaries subserve an excellent purpose. Upon occasions
like the present we break away from the bonds of routine, and, stand-
ing, as it were, on the mount of observation, we look back over our
traveled pathway, note our failures, estimate our progress, and thus
enter with renewed zeal and more intelligent purpose upon the accom-
plishment of our great work. In an honest review of the past there is
promise of a hopeful future.

It will be my purpose, in this brief address, to estimate the mission
and influence of the Academy, and to offer some considerations tend-
ing to establish its proper position among the educational institutions
of the city and state. If, in the discussion upon which I am about to
enter, I should give expression to some propositions which may conflict
with established opinions, it will, of course, be understood that the
writer is alone responsible.

Preliminary to the special discussion I have in contemplation, I will
briefly review some of the principal incidents of the past year. Notable
among these was the completion and distribution of Volume IV. of the
Proceedings of the Academy. ‘This publication has been very gen-
erally sent in exchange to scientists and scientific societies in this
country and Europe, and has been everywhere received with especial

SYNOPSIS OF PROCEEDINGS. | 237

favor, and, not infrequently, with high encomiums. ‘The publication of
Volume V. of the Proceedings has also been commenced, with some
valuable papers giving the results of original researches in geology,
paleontology, botany, conchology, and archeology. ‘The printing of
this volume will proceed as rapidly as scientific papers are furnished the
Academy, and provision can be made for the necessary funds to meet
the expense. As will be seen from the very full and complete report
of the Curator, there have been, during the past year, several valuable
collections donated to the Academy, as well as considerable additions
made to its museum through explorations conducted by its members.
Among these it may be mentioned that several ancient mounds have
been opened, and some exceedingly valuable retics added to our already
large archeological collection. These relics, as well as the other addi-
tions to the museum, are particularly described in the Curator’s report,
and hence will here be passed without special mention. It will appear
from the report of the Secretary that there have been held, during the
past year, eight meetings of the Board of Trustees, and twenty-three
regular and special meetings of the Academy, with an average attend-
ance of fifteen members. It further appears that there has been a
considerable increase in the membership by the election of thirty-two
regular, and fifteen corresponding members. These statistics are re-
ferred to as indicating a growing interest in the work of the Academy.
The report of the Librarian shows a large increase to the library during
the past year, and as these publications contain all the recent researches
in this country and Europe, they are of great scientific worth. The
interesting fact should not be overlooked that these large additions to
our library are the direct result of the publication of our Proceedings,
and in actual value will far exceed the expense incurred by the Acad-
emy for printing and distribution. ‘The library of the Academy is thus
becoming one of the ‘largest and most valuable in the west, and is
greatly in need of binding and cataloguing, in order that this rich scien-
tific literature may be brought within easy reach of all workers in
science. This department deserves, and should receive, special atten-
tion.

In connection with the publication and distribution of Volume IV.
of the Proceedings, it should be stated the paper upon “Elephant Pipes
and Inscribed Tablets,” which was included as an appendix, has been
generally accepted as decisive of the controversy in vindicating the
reputation of Rev. Mr. Gass, and in establishing the integrity of these
interesting specimens as genuine mound relics. In addition to the
strong support received from the distinguished scientists whose com-
munications were published in the second edition of that paper, we
have been encouraged by still further and more emphatic testimonials.
Notable among the distinguished gentlemen abroad who have thus
championed our cause, I may mention M. le Marquis de Nadaillac, of
Paris, France, and Dr. Max Uhle, of Dresden, Prussia. ‘The former,
in a paper entitled “Zes Pipes et le Tobag,” makes special mention of
the unfounded accusations of Mr. Henshaw, and maintains the great
antiquity of man in America, thus removing a principal objection to

>

the genuineness of the pipes and tablets. This paper contains illustra-
tions of one of the elephant pipes, as well as some others in the
Academy museum. ‘The paper of Dr. Uhle was especially devoted to
these relics, and, indeed, is entitled “Concerning the ‘Two Elephant
Carvings from America.” It was published under the auspices of the
Berlin Anthropological Society, of which the distinguished Prof. Vir-
chow is president, and contains excellent illustrations of both elephant
pipes. Dr. Uhle thus refers to the paper issued under the auspices of
the Academy :

“Mr. C. E. Putnam, of the Davenport Academy, in an article upon
the Elephant Pipes in the museum of the Academy, which appeared in
Volume IV. of its Proceedings, has replied to Mr. Henshaw’s attack,
and though many may not have seen it, it was received by the writer
of this article, as was also the second edition, who therefore considers
it his duty to help to bring it to a larger audience.”

Dr. Uhle then proceeds to notice the facts connected with the dis-
covery of the relics in question, and the circumstances involved in this
controversy in these emphatic terms:

“Henshaw has sought, by falsely representing that the tail is wanting
in both pipes, to make a point against their ‘genuineness. But on the
originals, as well as on the correct pictures of them, the tails are plainly
visible. Moreover, Henshaw was not correctly informed of the circum-
stances of the discovery. The arguments against the genuineness taken
from the circumstances fail absolutely. Hence, the whole attack has
been very badly prepared, and .the points upon which he principally
based his charge of ungenuineness are altogether without foundation.
The impression, therefore, which we receive from the reply of Mr. Put-
nam is the opposite of that from Mr. Henshaw’s paper, and is favor-
able to the genuineness of both these interesting relics.”

Inasmuch as these two gentlemen occupy a foremost position among
living archeologists, their favorable judgments may reasonably be taken
as decisive of this controversy.

In this review of the work of the Academy, I must not omit some
mention of its business interests. These financial matters are of vital
importance in promoting scientific research, and whether we delve in
the deep strata of the earth, or explore the star depths of the universe,
this “filthy lucre” becomes essential to our researches. The truly
scientific man, accustomed, as he is, to precision in all his operations,
should also be a good business man. It becomes us, therefore, in fur-
nishing a report of our scientific work, to also present to the patrons
of the Academy a good balance sheet, and whenever an indebtedness
shall appear thereon, it should be made clear that it was wisely incurred,
and represents true scientific progress. “Pay as you go” isa good rule
for both societies and individuals, and yet indebtedness does not always
indicate improvidence. ‘Thus, at the close of the great civil war, the
ledger of the nation exhibited an enormous deficiency, but, when turning
to the other side of the account the government was found credited with
the emancipation of a race, this very indebtedness appeared encircled
with a halo of glory. So, too, when the Royal Society of England

SYNOPSIS OF PROCEEDINGS. 239

found itself without sufficient funds to publish the great work of Sir
Isaac Newton, and was compelled to accept the generous contribution
of the noted astronomer, Edmund Halley, to enable it to give to the
world the most wonderful discovery ever made on this planet, every
dollar of the financial obligations thus incurred became radiant as a
star. ‘Thus it is, while the cash system furnishes a good rule of con-
duct, it is undoubtedly true that in the history of a scientific society
exigencies may arise when it is justifiable to anticipate future resources,
but ceaseless care should be observed that no indebtedness is incurred
which can be set down by the most captious as improvidence.

It will be unnecessary for me to go over the financial details of the
past year, as they have been clearly presented in the Treasurer’s report.
It appears therefrom that our stated income has been insufficient to
meet all necessary expenses, thus leaving a small balance of indebted-
ness; but it is evident from the reports of the Librarian, Curator, and
Publication Committee, that there has been no unwise expenditure.
The generous patrons of the Academy have, however. recently inaug-
urated a scheme which will, in a large measure, relieve it of these small
financial embarrassments. A subscription has been started, and has
already received the signature of many influential citizens, whereby the
subscribers obligate themselves to pay, for five years, an annual amount,
the aggregate of which, with the sums received from yearly dues of
members, will be sufficient to meet all ordinary expenses.

These financial drawbacks sometimes seem to be serious obstacles
in our pathway, but in surmounting them it may be we are acquiring
that hardihood which insures ultimate success. In moments of dis-
couragement it will profit us to recall the like experiences of other and
older societies which have become famous in the world’s history. Take
for example some of the well-known societies of London, England —
such as the Royal Society, the Royal Institution, the Society of Arts, the
Institution of Civil Engineers, the Chemical Society, the London Insti-
tution, the Birhback Institute, the Society of Telegraphic Engineers, the
Museum of Practical Geology, the Statistical Society, and the Royal
Geographical Society. All these famous institutions have been, like our
own, inaugurated and conducted through private enterprise, and with-
out government aid, with perhaps the exception of the last named,
which has, I believe, received a small subsidy. In reviewing the his-
tory of these institutions we find their experiences not unlike our own,
and the narrative of some of their financial difficulties reads like a page
from our own records. ‘Thus, in explaining the inability of the Royal
Society to publish the immortal “Principia” of Sir Isaac Newton, it is
stated as a reason that “the finances of the institution had been so ter-
riably depleted that even the salaries of the regular officers were in
arrears. Members did not pay their subscriptions, and some of them,
like Newton, were specially exempted from payment of their yearly
fifty-two shillings, on account of the inadequacy of their means.” ‘This
great institution, however, surmounted all these financial tribulations,
and became the leader in scientific progress throughout the world. So
great and important, indeed, have been its achievements that in com-

menting upon its publications Mr. Huxley expressed the opinion that
“if all the books in the world except the Philosophical Transactions
were destroyed, it is safe to say that the foundation of physical science
would remain unshaken, and that the vast intellectual progress of the
last two centuries would be largely, though incompletely, recorded.”
Such experiences, and such triumphs, even at so great a distance,
should allay all our discouragement, and inspire us with zeal and pur-
pose to build up here in the far-away valley of the Mississippi, an insti-
tution which may become a beacon light throughout the scientific world.

The impression is extensively entertained that only those whose sit-
uation in life gives them abundant leisure can engage in scientific
pursuits, and hence that a scientific man cannot at the same time be a
practical business man. Without doubt these erroneous impressions
have deterred many of those engaged in some of the industrial callings
from taking an active part in scientific research. A review of the lives
of some of the most noted scientific investigators will, however, reveal
the fact that, like Hugh Miller, they have steadily pursued some one of
the industrial callings, and have only given their leisure hours to scien-
tific pursuits. Upon this subject the late Lord Brougham made these
wise observations:

“Some of the great philosophers in all ages have been engaged in
the pursuits of active life, and an assiduous devotion of the bulk of our
time to the work which our condition requires is an important duty,
and indicates the possession of practical wisdom. This, however, does
by no means hinder us from applying the rest of our time, beside what
nature requires for meals and rest, to the study of science, and he who,
in whatever station his lot may be cast, works his day’s work, and im-
proves his mind in the evening, as well as he who, placed above such
necessity, prefers the refined and elevating pleasures of knowledge
to the low gratification of the senses, deserves the name of a true
philosopher.”

These earnest words of a great thinker should encourage all the sons
of toil to select from among the many branches of science some one for
special study; giving to it their morning and their evening hours, with
their days of leisure, it will grow with wonderful rapidity. As they
pass to and fro from their homes to their places of business, new truths
will seem to beckon them onward, new revelations of nature will call
them to higher realms of thought, and as one by one they master the
secrets of creation they will learn the worth of being, and attain to the
dignity of true manhood. The knowledge thus acquired will pass into
their experiences like a benediction —lightening toil, assuaging trouble,
and elevating life with a lofty purpose.

In this review I must not omit reference to the museum of the
Academy, undoubtedly the largest in the west, and containing collec-
tions, especially in entomology, palentology, and archeology, which
are of great scientific value. The care and classification of this large
and increasing mass of material demands the constant attention of a
zealous and skillful Curator, and thus entails upon the Academy the
larger portion of its current expenditures. This Society has been for-

SYNOPSIS OF PROCEEDINGS. 241

tunate in securing for this position, at an extremely moderate compen-
sation, the services of an earnest and competent gentleman who, more
than any other person, has contributed to the establishment of this in-
stitution on a firm and enduring basis. It must be borne in mind that
the museum is thus maintained and thrown open to the public for the
benefit of all students of science. It affords no income to the Acad-
emy, and entails only expense, and yet as an educational institution it
is of inestimable value. No doubt it is true that scientific researches
may be pursued, and new discoveries published to the world without
the collection of a museum. and therefore we have to expect from the
public, for whose benefit it is maintained, liberal contributions toward
its support.

This line of thought suggests various inquiries it may be well to pon-
der. What is the meaning of the scientific enterprise in which we are
engaged? Are the researches in which the members of the Academy
are so profoundly interested pursued only through idle curiosity, or
have they a practical purpose? Is our museum a mere curiosity-shop,
or is it a leaf carefully translated from the great volume of nature? In
seeking a solution of these deep questions it will be apparent that the
Academy fills an important place in the advancement of culture, and
that it and other like institutions are forerunners of the new and true
education. As an adjunct to our public school system, the museum of
the Academy can be made of inestimable value. It is well known to
all investigators that the truths of science cannot be learned alone from
books, but need to be verified by researches in the field and laboratory,
and this it is that gives to the scientific collections in our museum their
great educational value.

I will now ask your attention to a brief consideration of the practical
value of scientific study. I refer here not so much to the inestimable
worth of these researches in the discovery of pure truth, as to the in-
fluence of its discoveries in advancing the material well-being of the
citizen, and thus strengthening the foundations of the state. It is
related of Michael Faraday and Joseph Henry that they refused to reap
any pecuniary reward from their great discoveries, and hence, as soon
as their scientific researches attained a point where invention made
them practically useful and gave them a commercial value, they then
abandoned that field of study, assured that the large number intent on
gain would complete the work, and themselves pressed onward, like
veritable pioneers, toward the frontiers of knowledge, to again engage
in the higher and more congenial employment of disinterested research.
While it is doubtless true that to the earnest student of science the dis-
covery of new truths is its own sufficient reward, still, in seeking to
secure the adoption of physical research into the busy practical life
around us, it is fitting that we should give appropriate consideration to
the eccnomic values of these science studies. Consider, then, for a
moment, how intimately scientific discoveries, and the mechanical in-
ventions which follow in their wake, are interwoven into the web and
woof of our social, civil, and political institutions. Take, for example,
from the circle of sciences some of its principal branches, like botany,

242 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

zoology, geology, mineralogy, chemistry, meteorology, astronomy, and
the undulatory forces, light, heat, and electricity, and see how largely
they contribute to the needs of our daily life, and the requirements of
modern civilization. Thus, the discovery of magnetism and electricity
has been followed by inventions which have given to humanity the tel-
egraph, the telephone, and the electric light. By the telegraph, time
and distance have been well-nigh obliterated, and nations, though sep-
arated by seas and continents, are now brought into hourly communi-
cation, and through the net-work of friendly relations thus woven round
the earth, war has almost disappeared from human history. By the use
of the telephone an entire community is enabled to engage in familiar
conversation as though collected under one roof, and even the inhab-
itants of neighboring cities, without leaving their homes, may carry on
with each other the ordinary transactions of business life. Thus, too,
the discovery of the expansive powers of steam has been followed by
mechanical inventions which have subjected it to human control, and
made it “the drudge of civilization.” This almost superhuman power
now enters into all the industries of life, and, by increasing the pro-
ductive power of labor, has elevated the race. It has been estimated
that by the use of steam the resources of labor have been augmented
a thousand-fold, and that, in the manufactories of Great Britain alone,
“the power which steam exerts is equal to the manual labor of four
hundred millions of men, or more than double the number of males
supposed to inhabit the globe.” So, too, by the use of steam in navi-
gation, and for operating railroads, and the facilities thus afforded for
rapid travel and transportation, trade and commerce have been widely
extended over the vacant places of the earth, and thus large value given
to hitherto vast unproductive areas. But for the net-work of railroads
which cover our western prairies, these broad tracts now teeming with
abundant harvests would be nearly valueless. So, also, researches in
optics, with the aid of chemistry, have given us photography, and the
Spectrum Analysis, which are among the most important discoveries of
recent years. Photography is not alone the artist of society, but, as the
aid of modern science, it goes into the far reaches of space to faithfully
record the most evanescent of celestial phenomena, and into the depths
of the sea to depict the strange secrets for the wondering gaze of man.
The spectrum analysis, though less intimately associated with our daily
lives, is no less wonderful. It gives us a deep insight into the elements
of the earth, and reveals the composition of the heavenly bodies.
This, as you all know, is accomplished through the decomposition of
light, and thus, by a careful comparison of the spectra of earthly sub-
stances with those of the celestial bodies, astronomers have been able
to detect many of the materials of which they are composed. So, also,
the recent researches in anatomy, physiology, and hygiene, have been
of inestimable value to the race. By the information thus acquired
concerning the organs of the body, their functions in the economy of
life, and their proper care and treatment, ills have been removed, dis-
ease brought under control, and life itself greatly prolonged. As a
direct result of this scientific progress, it is claimed that “as large

a number of persons now live to seventy years as lived to forty three
hundred years ago,” and, in striking confirmation of this, it is a well-
known fact that the British government, in the management of its sys-
tem of annuities, which is based upon the average of life, was, some
years since, in consequence of this prolongation of life, compelled to
revise its calculations. It may be mentioned, in this connection, that
it has been claimed that the single discovery of the anzesthetics is of
greater value to the human race than all the arts, literatures, and
achievements of ancient civilizations. The passing glimpse we have
thus taken of the great practical advantages resulting from scientific
study, while necessarily meagre and imperfect, will sufficiently reveal
the transcendent importance of these researches, and justify us in
claiming for science a prominent, if not first place, in any general sys-
tem of education.

When we contemplate the enormous progress made in scientific dis-
covery during recent centuries, we are led to inquire as to the causes
which have set in motion this great movement, and, not without reason,
we look to our institutions of learning — our universities, colleges, acad-
emies, and seminaries—for the instrumentalities which have inspired
this study of nature, and produced the extraordinary developments of
modern science. When, however, we come to examine the curricula
of these institutions, we find that, with, perhaps, the exception of the
German universities, they have given but little or no aid to scientific
research. Strange as it may seem, it will be disclosed that the remark-
able advances made in scientific research and discovery have been
almost entirely accomplished through individual zeal and enterprise,
and through scientific societies and academies established and main-
tained by private mvnificence. The great universities of England and
America have devoted their energies mainly to the study of Greek and
Latin, and the other scholastic branches usually included in a classical
course, and have left science to shift for itself. It will further be
found that the example set by these great institutions has reached
down through all the gradations of educational organizations, and in-
fluenced even the course of study in our public schools. I am not
disposed to undervalue a classical education, and readily concede the
worth of these linguistic studies in giving exactness and elegance in the
use of language. I am free to admit that the clergyman, the physician,
the lawyer, the journalist, and the scholar trained for literary pursuits,
if they do not find them essential, will derive benefit from these classical
studies. I am, however, impressed with the conviction that the English
language, which furnished a sufficient vocabulary for Shakespeare, Addi-
son, Goldsmith, for Lowell, Longfellow, and Bancroft, should be ample
for the graduates of our public schools, and that the study by the pupils
in these schools, of all foreign languages, dead or living, is not only a
sheer waste of time, but a culpable perversion of the system. I therefore
maintain that these branches should be dropped from the curriculum of
the public schools, and that there should be substituted such instruction
at least in anatomy, physiology, hygiene, as will induce correct living,
such skill of hand as will fit its graduates for some industrial calling,
and such knowledge of civics as will secure intelligent citizenship.

244 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

In connection with this subject of scientific education, it will be re-
membered that during the past summer there assembled in this city
the National Convention of the Agassiz Association of America, an
organization mainly composed of pupils from the public schools and
students in college, and having for its principal object the study of the
natural sciences. All who attended the proceedings of this conven-
tion must have been struck with the decorum of its deliberations, and
greatly impressed with the accuracy of their knowledge and the wide
scope of their researches. It was certainly an extraordinary spectacle,
and the fact such a movement had become necessary to accomplish
objects so eminently desirable is, in itself, a most complete and em-
phatic condemnation of the existing systems of education. Who ever
heard of conventions being held to encourage and promote the study
of Latin, or Greek, or grammar, or logic, or rhetoric, or geography, or
history, or any other kindred studies usually found in the curricula of
» our educational institutions? It is only left for neglected science to
thus force itself into prominence and place.

This review of the work of the Academy would be incomplete with-
out some reference to the great question of religion as connected with
the researches of science. It has been wisely provided that topics of
a partizan or sectarian character shall not be introduced into the dis-
cussions of the Academy, but inasmuch as no nation nor race has ever
been found on this planet without some form of worship, the anthrop-
ologist must needs accept religion as a scientific fact. It is usual, I
know, to approach these questions with bated breath, and to handle
them with a velvety touch, but I am unable to see why God’s word
should be more sacred than his works, or why His creation is less en-
titled to reverence than His revelation. If these relations have been
unfriendly, it is because of empiricism in science and bigotry in relig-
ion. The severe student of science, it is true, may find that his math-
ematical training will not enable him to unravel the tangle of the
trinity, that his mastery of logic is wholly inadequate to the reconcilia-
tion of foreknowledge, free-will, and predestination, and that his pro-
found study into the wise adaptations and beautiful harmonies of the
created universe disclose no fitting place for the location of that abyss
of eternal fire said to have been provided for intellectual unbelief, and
thus when he tears down these “fine spun ecclesiastical cobwebs,” he
too often makes the mistake to throw away with them all religion, but
he should consider that its essentials still remain, the incentive to good
conduct and correct living, reverence for God’s work and word, and
the expectation of immortal life. On the other hand, when Tyndall
tells of matter so richly endowed as to have in it “the promise and po-
tency of all life,” and when Huxley announces that protoplasm is the
common foundation of all forms of life, and when Darwin seeks to ac-
count for “the origin of species” by his famous hypothesis of evolu-
tion, the ecclesiastic in his fright cries aloud against the scepticism of
science, but he should consider that the beautiful phenomena disclosed
by their researches only add to the unexplained wonders of creation,
and do not touch the mysteries of time and space, of matter and mind,

SYNOPSIS OF PROCEEDINGS. 245

of the origin and destiny of man. It thus appears that the scientists
and ecclesiastics are working on parallel lines, toward the solution of
the same problem—the one seeking the true interpretation of God's
revelation, the other of God’s creation, and while there have been
religious bigots who have burned the Brunos, and persecuted the
Galileos of science, it is no less true that there are also scientific
“bigots” who, because of some errors of ecclesiasticism, seek to de-
stroy all religion.

In now retiring from this honorable position, I will call attention to
the fact that the wise practice has prevailed in the Academy of observ-
ing the rule of annual rotation in filling the office of President, and I
believe the only departure from this custom since the reorganization of
the institution was at the last election, when, because of the contro-
versy then pending, it was deemed desirable to continue the manage-
ment. The proceedings of this meeting, therefore, will conclude my
second term in the position of President, and I am gratified at being
able to state that, through the energy and zeal of its active members,
the interests of the Academy have been greatly advanced during this
period, and that this society now occupies an enviable position in the
world of science. The high rank it has attained, however, entails upon
its members increased responsibilities, and should inspire them to en-
gage only in genuine scientific work. The standing of the Academy
has now become so conspicuous, and its proceedings so closely watched,
its members cannot afford to relax their efforts, or lower their aim, but
should labor earnestly, honestly, persistently, to retain its advanced
position, and so to realize the high ideals entertained by the founders
of the institution.

The election of officers was next in order, and balloting resulted as
follows:
President — CHARLES E. HARRISON.

First Vice-President — J. B. PHELPs.
Second Vice-President— Dr. L. FRENCH.
Recording Secretary — Dr. JENNIE MCCOowEN.
Corresponding Secretary — CHARLES E. PUTNAM.

J. B. PuHecps; 4th, C. E. Putnam. To fill vacancy, W. H. Pratt.
Mr. Harrison was then escorted to the chair, and in a few well-chosen
remarks thanked the members for the honor conferred upon him.
A rising vote of thanks was extended to Mr. Putnam for the ability
with which he has guided the affairs of the Academy during the two
years of his incumbency.

246 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

January 28, 7887.— REGULAR MEETING.

President C. E. Harrison in the chair; thirteen members present.

A letter was read from Prof. O. W. Collett, of St. Louis, stating that
Mr. Henry Shaw, of that city, had recently purchased and presented
to the Missouri State Historical Society the very valuable library of the
late Bishop Robertson; and, on motion, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:

WHEREAS, We have learned with great satisfaction of the recent purchase
of the very valuable library of the late Bishop Robertson, and the presentation
thereof to the Missouri State Historical Society, by Henry Shaw, of that city;
and

WHEREAS, Such generosity and true appreciation of the said society as the
worthy and suitable custodian and owner of such precious documents, and the
recognition of the value of such institutions as conservators of true history and
aids to study and research, seem to us to be of much more than local import-
ance; and

WHEREAS, Such conspicuous and noble examples must tend to attract the
attention of public-spirited individuals everywhere, and to induce those who are
able to contribute of their abundant means to the building up and support of
worthy historical and scientific institutions in their own localities; therefore

Resolved, That we hereby tender our most hearty thanks to Mr. Henry
Shaw for his munificent gift to the Missouri Historical Society, of a collection
of rare books, whose great value will increase with time; and we desire to ex-
press and record our high appreciation of his far-seeing and wise liberality.

Resolved, That these resolutions be given to the city papers for publication,
and copies of the same be sent to Mr. Shaw and to the Missouri Historical
Society.

The following resolution, offered by Mr. Putnam, was adopted:

Resolved, That a special committee of three be appointed, to make careful
examination of the Constitution and By-Laws of this Academy, in connection
with the various amendments thereto which have been from time to time
adopted, and to report such modification or revision thereof as may seem essen-
tial or desirable, together with such additional provisions as they may deem
proper to recommend.

President C. E. Harrison in the chair; eleven members present.

Mr. George H. French stated the object of the meeting to be the
consideration and reply to a circular sent out by the Bureau of Agri-
culture, in regard to sparrows. It had been sent him by Prof. Barrows,
Assistant Ornithologist in the Department, but he preferred, instead of
personally responding to it, to bring the matter before the Academy of
Sciences for consideration.

The questions propounded in the circular were considered seriatim,
and the discussion was participated in by most of those present.

SYNOPSIS OF PROCEEDINGS. 259

A communication was read from the ornithologist of the United
States Department of Agriculture, Division of Ornithology, thanking
the Curator for valuable information contained in his letter, and in the
schedule filled out in regard to the English sparrow. He also expressed
a desire to receive any further notes from time to time, which the
Academy might collect upon the subject.

The Executive Committee reported that they had considered a prop-
osition from Prof. F. Starr, professor of geology and biology in Coe
College, Cedar Rapids, and one of our corresponding members, in re-
gard to observations on the thunder-storms in Iowa. The Professor
desired to prepare a report for Iowa, and would prefer that it should
be done under the auspices of the Academy. As an immediate reply
was necessary, the Executive Committee, at a meeting held April 18th,
had accepted the proposal and promised the cooperation of the Acad-
emy. The correspondence with the Professor was read and the ac-
tion of the committee approved.

Dr. Barris then introduced the subject of “Local Geology,” basing
his remarks on a pamphlet by Mr. A. S. Tiffany, which was filled chiefly
with personalities and misrepresentations. Dr. Barris read from stand-
ard authorities at hand, showing the inaccuracies of various statements
purporting to be scientific, and dwelt upon the fact that personalities
were not legitimate criticisms of scientific productions.

The Doctor was asked to reduce his remarks to writing.

ploration of four mounds in Floyd county, Iowa, under his immediate
supervision. Referred, on motion, to Publication Committee.

Mr. Pratt gave an account of a large number of stone circles, similar
to those described by Prof. Starr, inspected by him in Dakota, in
localities where no trace of mounds or evidence of human presence,
near or remote in time, was discernible.

Some interesting excerpts were read from a paper on “Fresh Water
Animals,” by Prof. Marshall, of the Manchester (Eng.) Microscopical
Society, reciting a series of experimer.ts carried on for the space of
three years, which went to show that the differences between several
distinct species of marine animals depend simply on the percentage of
salt in the water in which they live. ‘They were changed under the
eye of the observer back and forth at will, by gradually adding fresh
water to the tanks in which they are kept.

Prof. Pratt then brought up for discussion the subject of the “Spectra
of Heated Iron.”

LIBRARIAN’S REPORT.—AsstrrRactr.

The total number of additions to the library registered during the
past year, exclusive of city papers, is 2,025. These comprise the trans-
actions and reports of about one hundred scientific and historical so-
cieties in the United States and Canada, and one hundred and fifty
foreign societies; the United States government publications, scientific,
historical, and statistical, of eighteen of the several departments at
Washington, received regularly; the geological survey reports of four-
teen states, and the agricultural, historical, statistical, health, and other
publications of nearly all the states, and a large number of miscellan-
eous scientific works. Of periodicals received regularly, there are eleven
weeklies, one semi-monthly, seventeen monthlies, one bi-monthly, and
four quarterlies. Of many of these we have complete files.

The library now contains— bound volumes, 1,730; unbound vol-
umes and pamphlets, 4,600; miscellaneous scientific papers, 775.

' A reading table is kept furnished with the publications recently re-
ceived, which, as well as those on the shelves, are consulted during the
open hours of the Academy almost every day; and citizens of nearly
every nationality can find here valuable scientific works printed in
their own native tongues.

The especial needs of the library are: a considerable increase of
shelf-room ; the binding of several hundred volumes; a lot of pamphlet
cases; the completion of a ‘subject catalogue, which is begun, and a
fund for the purchase of such important works as are especially needed
and cannot be obtained (as almost the whole library is, and always has
been) by exchange for our “Proceedings.” As the Academy is in no
way a money-making institution, it is to be hoped that some public-
spirited citizens will aid in providing for its needs.

CURATORS REPORT

In the Museum department, the accessions during the past year
comprise the following: About three hundred vessels of ancient
mound pottery; two hundred flint and stone implements; eleven
human crania, from mounds; one carved stone Indian pipe; two
hundred and thirty- five old-time relics from New England; an old
electrical machine; twenty-five species of fossils; several hundred
species of recent shells.

No additional cabinet cases have been supplied, and the need of
them is extremely pressing. By the addition of four cases of the usual
form, the alcove arrangement of the west room of the basement could
be completed, and the whole room made available as a part of the
museum; and some reasonable hope is entertained that this will soon
be done.

The collection of recent shells, which has been very largely increased
by the labors of Mr. Harry A. Pilsbry, has been rearranged, and ex-
tended to occupy two additional cases, and a catalogue of them nearly
completed — about twenty-five hundred species.

A considerable number of the local species of fishes and reptiles has
been collected and preserved. and. during the ensuing year it is be-

SYNOPSIS OF PROCEEDINGS. 267

lieved that considerable progress can be made toward making up an
approximately complete collection. In gathering these and other
natural history specimens, our young friends of the Agassiz Associa-
tions may be depended upon for considerable aid, and if their pursuit
of the study should develop a competent taxidermist it would certainly
supply a long-felt need.

Nothing has been done during the year in mound explorations in
the interest of the Academy, except that prosecuted by Captain Hall
along the Lower Mississippi, the collections from which have been
added to the Academy museum and are referred to in the above
enumeration. There remains plenty of that work to do within the
range of fifty to seventy-five miles of us; but for that purpose some
money is required, and it is only upon occasions not very frequent that
the means can be secured. ‘This work is, for us, of the utmost im-
portance, in order to maintain our reputation for activity and persever-
ance, as well as for the actual knowledge to be gained.

For a better classification and arrangement in some departments —
especially the minerals—a great improvement could be made, and
some valuable space saved, if it were possible to remove restrictions
requiring the individual collections to be kept as such. Instead of
this, the specimens could then be better classified, and space in cabi-
nets need not be taken up by duplicates.

I would not recommend that the increase of our museum greatly
beyond its present extent should be a principal object, except, first,
completed local collections, and, second, systematic, classified series
in the various departments adapted especially for study, and kept for
reference and use by members and by classes from the public schools,
but not to be taken from the building. W. H. Pratt, Curator.

REPORT OF PUBLICATION COMMITTEE.

Volume V. of the Academy Proceedings was commenced, and a
few pages printed, in 1886, as stated in last annual report. During
the early months of the past year, all effort was directed toward raising
a fund to secure the current expenses of the Academy; and later, the
dark shadow of death in our midst sadly interrupted the work of the
Committee, so that the printing of the volume was still delayed, and
no subscriptions received until late in November. Nevertheless, all
expense thus far incurred has been met, save a loan of one hundred
dollars, without interest, which was kindly offered for the completion
of Volume IV., and which the Committee assumed the responsibility
of accepting. To carry on the work, it is important that members
and others should promptly hand in their subscriptions.

Funds to provide a suitable portrait of the late Prof. D. S. Sheldon
have been secured through the generosity of his former pupils and
friends, and a biographical sketch is in process of preparation, and
both will appear in Volume V.

Many valuable papers intended for this volume have been received
during the year, of which the following — filling sixty-four pages —have
been printed:

PRESIDENT’S ANNUAL ADDRESS.
By CHARLES E. Harrison.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:

In surrendering the trust which in generous confidence you assigned
me, I shall not be expected to offer any scientific discourse, neither will
I undertake any apology for such shortcomings as could have been
prevented only by elevating some abler member to this honorable
office. The credit of whatever success may seem to have attended the
direction of affairs, is due to the officers and members who have will-
ingly assisted and advised, and for whose constant support, as well as
forbearance, I am sincerely thankful.

The twentieth year of our existence, just rounded to a close, may be
said to have been one of “even tenor,” less fruitful, perhaps, of percep-
tible results than some preceding ones, but yet, I trust, a year in which
we who remain have lost none of our interest in the grand work of
seeking after truth for truth’s sake—a year in which no retrogressive
step has been taken, and which, notwithstanding the full quota of dis-
couragements which it has witnessed, leaves us, I dare say, to-night,
strong and determined to continue the good work which, springing up
from the little seed so opportunely planted just twenty years ago, has
continued to flourish and grow, and which, with increased possibilities
as well as responsibilities, devolves now upon us as faithful members.
To have thus long survived the various vicissitudes which have beset
us, while a number of scientific associations in this and adjoining states
have been organized and, after a short existence have ceased to be, is
of itself an encouraging measure of success; and this result, which,
though in no spirit of boasting, we may view with some just pride, is
magnified when we consider that, notwithstanding adverse circum-
stances—particularly a constant lack of sufficient means to properly
prosecute our work—the institution has steadily gained in popularity
and strength, and to-day, owning the valuable premises it occupies, is
enabled to keep its rooms open to the public, maintains the publication
of its proceedings, and is building up in this accessible western city a
scientific museum and library which must be, if properly sustained and
wisely managed, a factor of much importance in the great scheme of
edvcational progress.

That there is cause for anxiety for the future is true; for, except
about $90 interest accruing from the nucleus of an endowment fund, a
special annual subscription fund of $425 (limited to five years), and
the meager receipts from dues and fees, say $350—a total of less than
$900, or about sufficient to pay running expenses—the Academy is
without funds for the purchase of such needed books, periodicals, and
monographs as cannot be obtained by exchange and otherwise for the
prosecution of its work. And then, as the years come and go, we are
being rapidly deprived of our faithful workers and substantial support-
ers. New members are recruited from time to time, but these are not
numerous; and have they, and have we, that zeal and efficiency which,
added to lofty purpose, is essential to continued success? The Acad-

emy may be hereafter, as heretofore, hindered by lack of funds, and
thus restrained may even bide its time until some philanthropist enables
it to occupy a yet higher plane of usefulness. But we need, and must
have, diligent workers, investigators, delving in the fruitful fields of sci-
entific research, and seeking to know more of nature and of nature’s
laws. We may be glad that there is established in our midst two vigor-
ous chapters of the Agassiz Association, comprising a goodly number
of boys and girls ardently interested in and studying the various
branches of natural science. ‘This is a body of noble youth bending
the young intellect into the pleasant and important paths of scientific
inquiry, and whose very purpose is to us a halo of promise, gilding the
Academy’s future sky with a radiance of hope.

A very full condensed account of the year’s transactions appears in
detail in the several reports which have been read in your hearing, but
some matters in connection therewith may claim especial attention.

The printing of Volume V. having been resumed and sixty-four pages
issued from the press, it is highly desirable that the work be pushed for-
ward, especially as there is already in hand sufficient material to com-
plete the first part. To do this, we must largely rely upon the support
of our own members, less than twenty of whom have as yet subscribed
for copies. If each member would order one copy—certainly not a
heavy burden—the completion of the book would be assured. The
volume, in addition to proceedings and scientific papers, will be adorned
with an excellent portrait and biographical sketch of our lamented fel-
low-member, Prof. D. S. Sheldon, the honored first President of the
Academy, the expense of the plate being met by his former pupils and
friends. Prof. W. J. McGee, of the United States, Geological Survey,
has kindly offered to prepare a complete index when the volume is
ready, a work involving no inconsiderable amount of labor and skill.

The collections in the museum show large additions during the year,
and the classification and arrangement of these accumulations, while
giving much and very proper employment to our excellent Curator, has
taxed his ingenuity as well, because of the insufficient accommodations
and already crowded condition of the cases. The constant necessity
for increase of room and greater facilities in the museum department,
which has obtained and burdened the Academy for several years at
least, seems to “grow with its growth,” and current wants are scarcely,
if at all, supplied till others appear. Nevertheless, the condition refer-
red to is by no means cause for complaint. Such increase in either of
its departments is, as a result, a legitimate part of the Academy’s suc-
cessful work, and the provision of a suitable depository for every speci-
men received is not only a necessity, but an imperative duty, which
must be bravely met. The excellent suggestion of the Curator, viz. :
the construction of four additional cases uniform with those now in
place in the west basement room, to complete the alcove arrangement
already begun, and thus render that commodious apartment wholly
available for museum purposes, is worthy of adoption as affording much
needed relief and of proper effort to provide the means for its execution.

The Librarian’s report is encouraging as exhibiting no diminution in

—

SYNOPSIS OF PROCEEDINGS. 271

the steady growth which has heretofore characterized this highly im-
portant department of the Academy. ‘The addition during the year of
more than two thousand publications comprising the transactions of
most, if not all, the important scientific and historical societies of the
world, the individual contributions to science of many eminent savants
of the day, and a vast deal of other matter relating to scientific re-
search or reflecting scientific thought, is surely a grand showing. And
this single item is important to the good people of this community as
indicating not only the vast value of the literary treasures already in
store, but also the probable growth, and consequently the increasing
worth, of the Academy’s library. Here, too, as in the museum depart-
ment, already alluded to, there is pressing want.. These books and
pamphlets, gleaming and glittering with living thought, cry out for
proper place and proper protection. More shelf-room is needed ; bind-
ing is needed; a complete index is needed; and in view of the scanti-
ness of our treasury and other proper demands made upon it, one of
the problems which now confronts us is how to sapply these wants.

Let not the erroneous idea prevail that this great library and museum
are for the exclusive use and benefit of our members. Both are avail-
able to the public, daily, during “open hours,” and both are being con-
sulted and examined almost constantly, often by pilgrims coming from
afar for the express purpose. Surely, in this enlightened and progress-
ive city, agencies of such vast educational utility and worth, of such
widespread and far-reaching benefits to the entire public, and capable
of maintenance at such comparatively little cost, cannot long await the
day of fuller appreciation when the number of our good people whose
names are enrolled as members of the Academy shall be far greater
than at present.

The finances, while not in that flush condition desirable and neces-
sary to greater accomplishments, and while yet comparing favorably
with the condition of affairs at any annual meeting of recent years, is
a subject of considerable concern inasmuch as this department of ne-
cessity underlies every other, and is of vital importance as affecting the
progress and success of the Academy, or possibly its very existence.
It has been necessary during the year to borrow the sum of $650; but
when we consider that previous indebtedness amounting to $850 has
been paid, there is no cause for discouragement in the item. The in-
terest accruing from our investments is more than sufficient to pay for
the use of this borrowed money, the difference in our favor being about
$33. Still, it is desirable that the Academy be freed from debt, and
this it is hoped to speedily accomplish by continuing the practice of
strict economy and prudent management.

Having referred to the status and wants of the several departments
as separate matters pertaining to the progress and condition of the
Academy, I come now, with sad heart, to speak of the honored dead—
of those strong helpers and fellow-workers whose labors and aid have
left a lasting impress upon, or added additional lustre to, the good name
of this beneficent institution. During the year, death has deprived us
of three life-members, Charles E. Putnam, Walker Adams, and A. F.

272 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

Williams; one regular member, August Warnebold; and one honorary
member, Prof. Spencer F. Baird. These were honored names upon
the roll, and their several deaths within the period of one short year
make up a total loss of crushing weight. Who of the large audience
that sat in this room just twelve months ago and listened to the mas-
terly address of the retiring President, Charles E. Patnam, could have
dreamed that death would come so soon to him, the useful and respected
citizen, the man of large attainments and noble purposes, the benefac-
tor and defender of this Academy, who had so long and so liberally
contributed of mind and means to its support and upbuilding, whose
wise counsels and executive ability served us so ably and well through
the two terms of his administration, and whose loss to the society, as
well as to the entire community, is irreparable indeed. Because of his
unswerving fidelity to this institution, his earnest solicitude for its suc-
cess, and active interest in all that pertained to its affairs, and his
known generous disposition and willingness to render assistance, it must
be true that the inefficiency of his official successor would have been
greatly lessened but for his untimely end. But, fellow-members, though
we are weakened, saddened, and discouraged by the loss of these good
men, we must not sit idly down to brood over the inexplicable dispen-
sation of Providence.

The history of our twenty years experience in meeting and mastering
obstacles, should inspire us anew with confidence, energy, and zeal.
The grand work which has been brought thus far at measureless cost of
solicitude and labor, and consecrated by the best efforts of the younger
and elder Putnams, of Sheldon, Farquharson and others, is worthy of
perpetuation. In the world’s great struggle for universal education,
and development of mind, the field for such beneficent institutions
as this is ample and wide, and I trust the day is not far distant when
every good public-spirited citizen—whatever his financial status or
scientific attainment—charged with the electric spark of pure philan-
throphy, shall rally to the support of this great instrument for the dif-
fusion of knowledge, that this fair young metropolis throned upon the
commanding bluffs of our own majestic river, boasting of every ele-
ment of commercial dignity and greatness, boasting of her temples,
colleges, and schools, may point with exultant pride to an enlarged,
-commodious and imposing building towering high upon this the sun-
niest spot of her southern slope—a building which shall be at once a
monument to the enterprise, intelligence, and goodness of her people,
a proper home for the Davenport Academy of Natural Sciences, and
with its accumulated treasures a benefaction and precious heritage to
generations yet unborn.

The presentation of these reports was followed by the election of
officers for the ensuing year, resulting as follows:
President—CHARLES E. HARRISON.
First Vice-President—Joun B. PHELPs.

Second Vice-President—Dr. 1. FRENCH.

WHEREAS, In his departure from among us, the Academy has lost one of its
oldest Trustees and most efficient life members and benefactors; therefore be it

Resolved, That we mourn his loss not only as a fellow member, who in times
of need aided the Academy by his influence, voice, and purse, but also as a
citizen who was ever foremost in all that pertained to the intellectual, moral,

regular meeting and thought it desirable to make this somewhat of a
memorial meeting, members presenting such reminiscences or giving
expression to their feelings as they might desire.

Mr. Thompson, Mr. Holmes, and Mr. Lynch each made remarks in
accordance with this suggestion.

January 2, 1889.—ADJOURNED MEETING.

President C. E. Harrison in the chair; eleven members present.

Curator exhibited a series of sixteen fine plaster casts received from
Prof. L. A. Cox, of Keokuk, representing beautiful crinoids in his col-
lection, and found in that vicinity. Also, a collection of fifteen species
of fossil plants from the Dakota group (cretaceous) collected in Kansas,
and sent to the Academy by Charles H. Sternberg, of Lawrence, Kan-
sas, by exchange.

The following paper was presented by title: “The genus, Ceanothus,
as represented on the Pacific Coast of North America,” by Dr. Parry.
On motion, referred to Publication Committee.
