The Hrit part, by the late Profwiwor E. 1) Cope, in on "The iiH-oii-a from tho Oligfxi'nii or Lower Miosiii>nN The detormiiiatioii by thi- Caiiadiiin Survey of a Mid-Crelarc>..ns and Irosh-water fauna, including Kshcs, batrachians. reptilos and miimiiials, is a forward t-ti-p of great importanre in vertebrate palii'oiitolotry. The Survey had established beyond (luestioii, treoloprically, that the li.'lly River series is Mid-Cretaceous, that it underlies the Montana or Ft. l'ierr«-Foi Hills group, and over- lies the Ft. Benton and Dakota groups ; * and at the outset of the pahi-ontologic al investi- gations for this report, the question arose, what stairi-s of vertebrate involution arr repre- sented by the Belly River fauna? It soon app<'an'd to the writer in the study of the fine eollertion made by Mr. Lanibe that the Belly River vertebrates of the North-wi-st Territory were of decidedly ditferent and rt7(/wre«W,v of older type than those from the Laramie beds of Converse co., Wyoming, described by Marsh, and were rather to be compared with those described by l.eidy, Cope and Marsh, from Montana, chiefly from the Juditli River beds, a ngion by no means distant geographically. Thus the correlation between the Belly River .ind .Tudith River series, proposed by the late Director, Dr. (r. M. Dawson, in 1S75, at first sriance appeared to be conlirmed fauuistically. But this correlation is not supporti'd l)y the geological records, which all place the .Tudith River beds proper above the Fox Hills and Fort Pii-rre. To present the evidence for and against the Mid-Cretaceous age of some of the Montana fossils already known, to show the need of closer examination of the geology and closer comparison of types, and to outline the gi'Ueral characteristics of this fauna, are the ihief objeits of this introduction.

Th« present report conxiHtM of (le»rriptioim cdition fully realized the belief of Dr. Ocorge M. Dawson, Director of the%}eological Survey, that a syMtematic collection of the dinosanrian and other reptilian remains, that were known to occur abundantly and in an excellent state of preservation in the rocks of the Edmonton and Bi'lly River series in the vicinity of Red Deer river would prove to be of scientific valne :uid interest. In this year, however, it was found that the heHl results were obtained in the Belly River series, in the vicinity of Berry creek. Accordingly this locality was revisited in 1898, and again in 1901, and collections made Irom the Belly River series only, in an extensive area of " bad lands " on either side of Red Deer river between Berry creek and Dead Ijodge canon. To Dr. G. M. Dawson, Mr. 11. G. McConnell and Mr. .T. B. Tyrrell principally, belongs the credit of having elucidated the geology of the Cretaceous and Laramie rooks in the region extending from Milk river on the south to north of Red Deer river, in which region the Belly River series has an extensive development, its boundary having been traced for over 150 miles in underlying contact with the Pierre-Fox Hills group, with abundant and , elusive proof of the subordinate poMition of the former to the latter. Mr. J. B. Tyrrell, in his report on the geology of northern Alberta,* divided the rocks of Laramie age, overlying the marine Pierre-Fox Hills group, into a lower and a 'itflologicat luid \atural History Survey of CiuumIu, Annual Reptirt, new series, vut.

Of the B«'lly River Koriei* Dr. DawKou writes* : — " in the roirion of the Bow and Bell; Tiver», the Picrn- is audi'riaid liy an extensive fresh and brackish-water series, ronsistini of sandy aririiliteH and sandNtoni's ; the upper [lortion is rharaeteristirally pale in tint the lower generally darker and yellowish or brownish. ThiK baa been call( similar stratiirTa phical position on I he Peace river, and there designated the Dnnvegan series. Thes indicate the existence of a prolonged interval in the western t'retai'eous area, durini which the sea was more or lessexclnded from the 'gion, and itn place o<'capii>d for loni p«>riods by lagoons or fresh-wnter lakes. IWow these, both in the region of the Bow am Belly and on the I'eaee rivers, is a second series of dark shales which may probabi represent the Benton crcmit of the Missouri sections " The approximate miiximum ascertained thickness of the scrip's, according to Pi Dawson, t is!' 10 feet. The same authority, in describing these rocks, remarks,} that "the separation of th lower, or yellowish and banded portion ol the Ilelly Uivcr series." from the upi>er o pule part, " is made merely lor convenience of de!sitalion might be felt in relegating given large exjrasnre to one or other, the points of difference vanish when any attemp to draw a precise line is made." The following section, ns seen on Fossil coulee, in the Milk river district is regarde by Dr. Dawson || as a representative one of the upper or pale part of the series ; the bed in descending order are : — Feet. fi 4 \r, 1 Dark gray, soft, sandy clay YellowUh und or nof t windiitone Hrajr, soft mnds, with snine InRiU nl' ul.iy Gray, soft sandstone Ureeniah-gra; clay .'> Gray, soft, shsly sandsfcuie 1 Gray, soft, sand and rnndy cliiy 4 Greenish-gray clsy ."i Nodutar layer of iinpurt? calfiire 0 *l)e«cri[itivf Bketch "f the HhysiLiil < u^tijintptiy aii.t i H-(iIii);y of thp l>ri (tf (*iitiit(l;i hy A.R.C. .Sclwyii r M.

These yellowish saiidKtone» appear to be at about the dividing line between the upper and lower portionN ot the serieK. The Belly River series iseorrelated by Ur. Dawson* with the .Indith Kiver aeries of the Missouri. One of the first reports, if not the first, to appear on reptilian remains from western Canada, was that of Professor E. 1>. Coj*-, whieh took the form of an app<'ndix to l>r O. M. Dawson's " Report on the (reology and UesourreK of the forty-ninth parallel " issned in IMl.j. ProfeKsor Cope here deseribed certain dinosaurian, chelonian and lish remaiuN from the " Fort Union group " of Milk river. 8ince then, referenee has been made, from time to time in the reports of the Geolo- gical Survey, to the discovery of reptilian remains in the Laramie and IJelly River series, at various localities in the north-west. Unlortiinately, the lollectinif of sueli remains haw not been systematically undertaken and, except in one instunce, no detailetl report has appeared on the occasional remains of reptiles brought from the west, that eX( eptioii being the description stiveii by rnifessor Cope,t in 1*"'2, of two skulls of L' dinosaurs and other reptiles from the Red Deer river district, arises from the lad that the bones are generally very much scattered, separate bones of different species occurring toafcther, the finding of a number of bones, of one individual, in their natural relative position to each other t>eing rare. As a rule the bones are well preserved but very frasrile, so that the greatest care is requisite, and special precautions necessary, before their removal can be attempted. • Report on the (ieology unit Riwurtti! of ttic forty nintli piiriillil, IsT,'., p. l.-pO, ,inil l{i|iorl uf ProgrcM. itcoV uutl Nat.

It is broader than lomj. the breadth exeeoding the length by more than oni- sixth, and is only moderately run vex In outline, as seen from above, it is Hat behind with the sides curving broadly to the front maririii, n' the centre of which then is a shallow concavity. The shell protrudes where the ribs pass outward from luiieath, causing the lateral margin to be sinuous, the sinuosity beitig most marked toward the front in the lirst, second and third pairs of costal plates. Of the eight jiairs ofcostals, the lirst co:>lals are the broadest at the inner ends, whilst the lifth are the broadest distally. The seventh costals are extremely narrow throughout their length and thin'ighth pair is w ell developed. The lirst costals increase in breadth rather suddenly at their outerendsand are separated by a divided lirst neural plate. The ueurals gradually decrease in breadth to the lifth, their siiles being uot so nearly parallel to each other as thos of the correspondin"' plates in T. Jiweulus. Thi' sixth and last neural is very much reduced in size anil is irn .'ilirly oval in outline. Of the protrudiii'j- iib-eiul-, all the six of the left sule were securi il, in a fair state of preservation, except the one bclungin^- to the lirst costal and it was obtained iu part. Tlie rib-heads are well developed. In the ligure, the nuchal plate is ri presented ;is entire. Of the carapace under consideration, the central part jnly of the nuchal plate, extending from the margin in frinit to the stitiiie behind, was found, but fortunately the left I'ud of a nuchal, of another individual of similar si/e. showing the left front marifin and the suture between the plate and the lirst costal with part nfllie latter adherent, supplied the deliciency. The sculpture consists of a network of narrow ridges, ramifying and inosculating so as to enclose small, sunken area' of irregular shape and size, the areie being generally wider than the ridges are broad. The freiiuent conllueuce of a varying number of area- results in a more open pattern, the riilites at times showing a tendency to run in parallel lines. The sculpture is not so distinctly defined near the sides of the carapace as itis toward and at the centre and anteriorly, but in the hinder part it is moredecidedly rugose, the ridges being here higher and the enclosed are;e larger. N ir the intercostal sutures, more particularly in the inner halves of the costal bones, the sculpture is partially elfaeed and consists of low, jjoorly dellned parallel ridges at right angles to the sutures, forming a disciuct border, with a maximum breadth of about 5 mm.

Ijirge fragments ol the carapace show that the costals are thin and are united to the comparalirely thick marginal bom^s by suture and that ihi- sulci are d.'cp and well defined. In some of the marginal bones the rib-prolomrations from the adjai ent costals are preserved. The rib-heads of the costals are apparently w.ll dcveloiH^d. In litOl, the anterior half of a plastron (lig. •!, pairc 41), with the front border of tb.. carapace intact, was obtained below the mouih oi lierry .reek. This specimen, rep c- sentingan indiv.dual, with a plastron about '40 mm. in length, givi's the reh- ivo position of the plastron to the carapace anteriorly and also shows an eiilargemi'iii of the right pectoral shield to the left of the median line of the plastron resulting in a decided diminution in the size of the left pectoral shield. Additional material imlud.s two or thrive neural bones, some of the bones of the endoskeleton and a few small, thick, (onii-al scutes from the tail.

Altogether the surface markings are as shown by Cope in his figures. There are sixteen sockets for teeth, the second, third and fourth of which, counting from the front, still retain a hollow root. The symphysis is well sh.,wn. The front end of the splenial enters into the formation of nearly one-fourth ol the symphysis. A for- amen passes through the splenial immediately behind the syraphyseal surface.

Ornithomimus, Marsh Oknithomimuo Ai.Ttia. Sp. nov. Plates XIII and XIV, and plate XV, figs. 1-8. A hitherto uudesoribed spe-ies of dinosaur, belonging to the Ormthumimidrr ax referable to the genus OrHilhomimu, of Marsh, is represented by a complete right hli limb (including the foot), the phalanges of the lelt foot in place, a pubic bone, and . ischium, of one individual. With these, as probably belonging to the same species, are included a poster! dorsal vertebra, caudal vertebra- of remarkable form, phalanges of the manus and number of teeth of peculiar shape. The femur, tibia, metatarsals and phalanges of the ix>«, except the terminal on are hollow. The femur is shorter than the tibia. The astragalus is closely applied to but dc not coalesce with the distal end of the tibia; it has a well developed ascending proc, apposed to the front face of the tibia. The fibula is slender and the tibia has a promin€ cuemial crest. The .alcaneum and the tarsal bones were found in place. Metatarsal 1 .8 iu Ornith,mimus velox,* Marsh, Kts closely against metatarsals II and IV, and is, a sh. distance above its distal end, triangular in section with its flat face foremost, t becon attenuated above and passes behind the other two metatarsals. Metatarsal V, rep s.-nted by a short, laterally compressed, slightly curved bone, lies close to the proxiii end of metatarsal IV. The phalangeal formula is 3, 4, 5 ; digit III is the longest and digits II and IV of about equal length. The terminal phalanges are sharply pointed in front, rat straight, Uattened below and deeply grooved on the sides. The grooves are carr forward to the extreme point and indicate the presence, during life, ot a long but sharply curved or i>oiuted claw. The other phalanges have de.'i) pits, one on each s of their distal extremities. The shape of the terminal phalanges suggests a foot, suitable for grasping but adapted rather for speed in running, an idea earned out by slenderness and lightness of all the bones of the leg. The posterior dorsal vertebra, plate XIV, fig. 1. is decidedly amphiciclous, the coucai in the anterior face of the centrum being more marked than in the posterior one. •HuitMiith AnDO»l Report, U.

In the tooth figfured on plate XIV, one only of the posterior keels is dentienlated and that only for a short distance at the centre of its length; the other is smooth. Another specimen is apparently without denticnlations.

They are arranged with a certain amount of bilateral symmetry, are quite small at the centre and toward the back, but are larger in front and very much more so on the sides. They are for the most part irrei;ulurly live or six sided, with rather undulatory surfaces that are marked by an irregular, raised, struc- tnral cross-hatching, feebly suggestive of the surfaie markings of the plates o( Niitosnu- rut texUlis, Marsh. Small vascular openings and grooves are also numerous on the surface. The edges of the plates are as a rule angular and sometimes raised. Kach plate has its limit defined by a deep circumscribing furrow, so that although they are coossitied and form a continuous surfaie covering to the head, they do not lu.sc their individuality. A rounded node, or an incipient keel is noticed on some of the plates. The rttmoval of sandstone from the lower surface of the sp<'cimen revealed the bones of the palatal region {plate XII. lig. 2). The interpretation of these elements ari' as indi- cated by the letters. The back ends only, of the palatines (p.) are seen, meeting the pterygoids in a suture indicated at " »." From here the latter bones (pt.) extend back- ward on either side of intcrpterygoid vacuities (v.). The ridge (pb.) represents the presphenoid and basisphenoid elements ; it is bent posteriorly to one side '■> the B|>ecimen, which has been subjected to considerable pressure from above and is somewhat crushed behind. From this interpretation of the bones of the palate it would apiM'ar that the part of the armature preserved covers the upjx'r part of the head near the union of the nasals with the froutals. No indication of the orbits can be delected and it is probable that tht>y were placed far forward in the h-iid. Part of a rib, having a T-shaped transverse section (Plate XII, fig. 5), such as is characteristic of the heavily arraoun-d Stetfomuria, was found separately but in the same locality, and is provisionally associated with iS. tulus. The finding of such a rib is suffi- luent evidence of itself to prove the existence, during the time of the deposition of the Belly River series, of a large dinosaur having a heavy protective covering of bony plates M J/riuuntnwHto.

CoNTHiBUTioxtt TO CANADIAN PAi,.KONTOi.oay, Volume III. (Quarto), Part II. Page 7, 18th line —The oriffiiial desoription of the Judith River beds by Meek and Hayden* is as follows : " They appear, as near as could bt^ ascertained, to occupy a local basin in a series of marine deposits, consisting of beds of sandstone and impure liitnite, which we have regarded provisionally as of the aire of No. 1 of our g-neral section Lower down the Missouri, near th<« mouth of Little Ko< ky Mountain creek, this last-mentioned series of rocks upon which the fresh-water deposits repose at the mouth of the Judith is clearly seen to pass beneath No. 4 (the Pierre shales) of the general section." This original description leaves the qucHtion, whether the typiial Judith River beds are above or below the Fort Pierre, undetermined. It appears that the latter authorities cited on pp. 7-8 may have confused the typical Judith River beds with the Laramie. Mr. J. B Hatcher believes there is little doubt that the typical Judith River underlies the Fort Pierre. He observes : " I remember, however, to have noticed some POO or 400 feet of shales very similar to the Pierre, overlying the Judith River beds along the old Fort Benton and Cow Island trail between the Bear Paw Mountains and Cow Creek, and I have little doubt but that these are the representatives of the Pierre shales in this region." If this observation be confirmed, the typical Judith River beds would be placed in the Mid-Cretaceous, or nearly contemporaneous with the Belly River as held by Dr. G. M. Dawsoj. • M.--!. uml llaydeii, t'r.K... riiil. AcKi. Sci.. May isr,7, M.. 124-125. \09,, GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA PLATE II '« CO. KtTOft. 1= Hi PLATE III. n PIRATE III. Fig. I.
