Still more in detail, W. Kowalewsky has lately shown us the primitive history of the horse, and Leidy and Marsh have further completed it by the addition of American forms, the former having at the same time described the forms which have led to the tapir. But to such facts there are, on the other hand, experiences directly contradictory.
He felt convinced that the slate upon which it was contained was substituted for the other one which the Medium ostensibly continued to use. Mr. Leidy then wrote on the slate the following question, 'Dr.
Leidy: Is Mr. Seybert present? Three raps very feeble. Dr. Mr. Sellers: There was. The answer was three raps. I suggest that the test with the glass tumblers be now tried. Upon the suggestion of the Medium, the test referred to was momentarily deferred, and Mr. Sellers made this inquiry: It is proposed that the Medium shall stand upon tumblers. Are we likely to have any demonstration?
In a communication to Croston, Harris remarked that this was the first successful Cesarean section for double monstrous conception in America, and added that in 1881 Collins and Leidy performed the same operation without success.
Darwin, thirty years ago, as to lead him to speak of a "law of succession of types," and of the wonderful relationship on the same continent between the dead and the living, has recently received much elucidation from the researches of Gaudry, of Rütimeyer, of Leidy, and of Alphonse Milne-Edwards, taken in connection with the earlier labours of our lamented colleague Falconer; and it has been instructively discussed in the thoughtful and ingenious work of Mr.
Furness in the adjoining seat. The first chair on the side of the table to the left of Mr. Sellers was occupied by the Medium, and the remaining chair on the same side by Mr. Fullerton. At the near end of the table, Dr. Leidy and Dr. Koenig were seated.
Fullerton was struck on the head by a paper thrown from the other side of the table, and touched once on the back of his left hand by what felt like human fingers. There were no more manifestations. The Committee adjourned to Dr. Leidy's house for conference. The above notes were read and approved. Secretary. April 8th, 1884. On Tuesday evening, April 8th, Dr. Leidy and Mr.
Falconer's monograph, two other species of elephant, F. mirificus, Leidy, and F. imperator, have been obtained from the Pliocene formations of the Niobrara Valley in Nebraska, one of which, however, may possibly be found hereafter to be the same as E. columbi, Falc. This species has been established by Dr.
They have yielded fossils in an excellent state of conservation and in unexampled numbers and variety. The researches of Leidy and others have shown that forms allied to the Hipparion and the Anchitherium are to be found among these remains.
Furness brought two new double slates, which could be fastened by a screw. Leidy had written a question. The slate was then fastened with a screw. Dr. Koenig also wrote a question, which was enclosed in the other slate, the slate being screwed up by Mr. Furness. The Medium then placed both slates upon her lap, and partially under the table.
