Abstract
IN the Annales des Sciences Naturelles (Zoologie, Tome xii. Nos. 3 and 4), M. Marcy continues his elaborate paper on the flight of Insects and Birds. Prof. E. Lartet describes and figures Trechomys Boudnellii and two other fossil rodents of the Eocene of Paris. New observations on the Zoological Characters and Natural Affinities of the Æpyornis of Madagascar are given by MM. Alphonse Milne-Edwards and Alf. Grandidier. Their paper is illustrated by a fine series of figures of the bones of these gigantic fossil birds: even the enormous bones of the lower limb are drawn the size of nature. The present double number of the Annales is concluded by a communication from M. Edward Perrier, entitled “Researches on the pedicellaria and ambulacra of star-fishes and sea-urchins.”
