From the Hurlford (Conn,) Post, Tho foasil foot-prints in the sandstone of tha Connectiont Valley have afforded for years the mokt ample opportunity for geological investi gation oud research. President Iitehcock, of Awberst College, won a world wide renusation on account of his labors in this fiotd, ls work fully established tho svionce of | febnology. Since his death but little has been done in the way of penetrating more deeply into the rocl: history of the valley than where ho loft it. t, while tho public have heard little of late yoars of these intersting’ and important relic of defanct ordera of animallite, sume valuable. explorations have been going on at ‘arnor’a Valls, Mans., under the carcful oyoof 'T. M. Stoughton, of Gill, and have resnited in tho discavery of woveral thousand imprints, same of which are ontircly new to geology, aud con- clusively prove the oxistenca of a genus of rep- tiles hitherto unknown. Mr. Stoughtou’s ro- wearches have been mado with great care and in- selligence, and have extended over a poriod of several yoars.; iio has recently takon ous of the quarries at ‘Turnor's Falls remarkably dis- tinct and Woll-dofined impressiona of the track of # threo-tood otozoon. ‘The tracks are from 8 to 10 inches loug, several ip number, aud in a straight lino, showlig lainly the course of the animal, and possibly indicating somewhat, by the length of the step, the wize of tho beast. ‘The quarry whero these fmproasious ware found has been closed by the cold weuthor, aud further investigations will have to be postponed till spring, Im additlon to thie liscovery, which 4a of much olontifia value, Mr. Stoughton has also discovered ovo ocom- pleto impression and a portion of another which promiaes important results, ‘I'he track fs 82 inches by 20, or twico the size of any ever found pofore. ‘There ia tho mark of the heel and the two wlarp-pointed toes, apparently, in tho perfect track, and of the two toes in the inooniplote track, indicating the path of some creature, =, 4:0 ulab on which these improssiona wore found was ¢aken out undera high bluff, and cousidersblo time baw been spant m cutting down this bluf to discover {he succession of these tracks, which, i found, will prove conelu- sively the oxistouce of ® monstrous animal of which nothing ia yet known, The work of digging through the bluff will be continued next year, and the results will be awaited with great iuteroat by peologiats. Some of the iin- pressious and specimens discovered by Mr. Stoughton, aro among the finest and rareat in existence, One of thom bears tho tracks of an otozoon that will probably prove to be unlike auything now kuowu, Tho tracks are broader and Joss abarply pointed at the extremities than tho others now described. Many of the slabs cut fromthe quarry bear markw of vegatation, sud will furniwh much material for geologic study and examination.
