Very interesting tracks have been found in the ancient Potsdam white sandstone of Beauharnais, on the St. Lawrence, by Mr. Logan, an excellent geologist of Canada, and determined by Professor Owen to belong to Crustacea, crabs. The number of impressions made by each foot is sometimes seven, sometimes eight, and even more. This track, showing the traces of Crustacea, goes to form another link in the chain of fossil footsteps. The Medusae, commonly called jelly-fish, dissolving as they do under the influence of the sun and air, would hardly be expected to leave their traces impressed on ancient rocks. Professor D'Orbigny, however, has watched the dissolution of these animals on the sea-shore, and found that, after wasting, they may leave their impressions on the sand; which, not being disturbed by a high tide for nearly a month, retains the impression of the zoophyte, and serves as a mould to receive materials which take a cast and transmit it to subsequent ages. We find one of these impressions on the slab of the Anomoepus Scambus; and President Hitchcock, having examined it, is of opinion that it retains the traces of a Medusa. The impression is about five inches in diameter, of a darker color and smoother texture than the rest of the rock. Its edges fade away gradually in the surface of the subjacent sandstone. A similar impression is found on the superior surface of the slab containing the Argozoum. * * * * * GROUP TENTH. The tenth group contains the HARPAGOPUS, a name derived from _harpage_, _seizure_, _rapine_. It is represented by President Hitchcock as having the form of a drag. The figure given by him resembles in a degree the foot of the African ostrich; being a long thick toe, with a shorter one, not unlike a thumb, on the side. An impression approximating this, but of small size, may be seen on the slab of the Anomoepus Scambus. * * * * * The formation of bird-tracks is well represented by a clay specimen, about an inch thick, and ten inches long. This is a piece of dried clay, obtained by President Hitchcock from the banks of the Connecticut, and produced by washings from clay on the shore above, covered with foot-impressions of a small tridactylous bird, and dried in the sun. This piece shows, in a way not to be questioned, the manner in which the ancient vestiges were produced. Sir Charles Lyell noticed a similar fact on the banks of the Bay of Fundy. ORGANIC IMPRESSIONS. The _second_ great division of fossil impressions is called ORGANIC, meaning impressions made by organized bodies; the bones of animals, fishes, and vegetables.
