On our second page will be found an interesting paper "On the Dermal Covering of a Mosasauroid Reptile," by Prof. Snow. The paper was read by the Professor before the Kansas Academy of Science, at its late meeting held in Topeka on the 8th ult., and relates to the dermal covering found on the extinct saurian discovered by him in Western Kansas, in June last. We publish the paper on account of its eminent scientific value, since it relates to a subject hitherto unknown to science.
