Remarks on some fossil impressions in the sandstone rocks of Connecticut River

With the exception of several presumed typographical error which have been changed as noted below and the addition of a Table of Contents and label for the image of the rock slab, the text presented is that shown in the original printed version. The Greek charaters from which the scientific names were derived are diplayed slightly larger, green text. Lastly, the images of the slab available, even a higher resolution version, does not show the level of detail expressed in the text. Perhaps, at some point, a higher resolution scan of the original photographic film or plate may become available.

The principal part of these remarks were made at the meetings of the Boston Society of Natural History. A portion of them also have been printed in the Proceedings of the Society.
The object of this publication is to afford to those who are not members of the Society an opportunity of obtaining some knowledge of Fossil Impressions, which they might not be able to obtain elsewhere so conveniently.
Some account of the Epyornis seems to be very properly connected with Ornithichnites.
The first of these papers was written in October, 1853; the others in the earlier part of the present year.
