A number of carapaces from Catskill fail to show any distinguishing features from     (described on p. 382) from the Schenectady beds at Schenectady, and we therefore refer them to that species, although the considerable difference in  age between the forms makes it somewhat improbable that they are conspecific. The sculpture is well shown in several specimens and consists of flat closely arranged rather large nodes or tubercles, as in. A like sculpture is shown in some of the specimens from the Schenectady shale. In the first description the species is assigned to Pterygotus, but the closely related species from these Normanskill shales,, indicates that it may more likely be an Eusarcus.

This name is proposed for carapaces of distinctly pterygotoid aspect.

Carapace broadly subrectangular, three fourths as long as wide; lateral margins subparallel, slightly convex, antelateral angle distinct, abruptly rounded; anterior margin broadly and evenly convex. Basal margin slightly concave in middle, postlateral angles approximately rectangular. Lateral eyes marginal, situated in the antelateral corners, elliptic, small, less than one fourth the length of the carapace. Surface sculpture not seen. Measurements of type specimen, length, 11 mm, width, 15 mm.

120 mathematical proofs, about which there can be no doubt. Whoever investigates an eclipse, can establish it by demonstration, and can point out its peculiarities, the period of its commencement, the extent of it, and the period of duration until the reillumination begins. And if some one tell him that the demonstration is contrary to doctrine, let him not doubt the demonstration, but rather let him doubt the interpretation given to the law (of the Koran). The wrong done to the law by those who defend it with false interpretations, is greater than the wrong which is done to it by those who find fault with it on a correct interpretation,—as says the proverb, 'a wise enemy is better than a foolish friend.'

"If some person should argue, that as according to a tradition, the Prophet once said, 'When God manifests his glory upon anything, it humbles itself before it,' and that therefore this is to be taken as an indication that an eclipse arises from an act of humility in the presence of God, we reply, that this report is not a genuine tradition, and that even on the supposition of its genuineness, it would be better to throw light upon its meaning, than to make use of it for altercation in categorical premises. For when the proofs are definite, we ought not to be controlled to such an extent by unexplained texts of the Koran. It is a cause of great joy to the infidel when the apologist fur the faith pretends that such views are contrary to the faith, for it then makes it easy for him to refute the law. The world is now disputing whether it is a genuine tradition or merely ancient. But if its genuineness should be established, it would still be a matter of indifference, whether the earth were round or flat, or whether the heavens above and what is below are more or less than thirteen layers—seeing the thing sought to be proved is, that at any rate they arc all the work of God.

"We come next to the third difference of opinion, in which the matters disputed about are at the foundation of religion, as the creation of the world, the attributes of the creator, and the resurrection of the body. In this case it is without doubt our duty to refute the error with convincing arguments."

The work of Degerando, Histoire comparé des systèmes de philosophie, Tome iv, Paris, 1823, may properly be referred to, for comparison with Smölders's Essai, to aid farther in appreciating the principles of Ghazzali in interpreting the Koran, and the grounds of his opposition to Aristotle. His picture of the stand-point of Ghazzali seems accurate and just. See also, Whewell, History of the Inductive Sciences, 3d edition, 1857.

" (2) The need for and the value of storaj2e for regulation of streamflow (other than for water quality) including but not limited to navigation, salt water intrusion, recreation, esthetics, and fish and wildlife, shall be determined by the Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Eeclamation, or other Federal agencies. " (3) The need for, the value of, and the impact of, storage for water quality control shall be determined by the Administrator, and his views on these matters shall be set forth in any report or presentation to Congress proposing authorization or construction of any reservoir including such storage. "(4) The value of such storage shall be taken into account in determining the economic value of the entire project of which it is a part, and costs shall be allocated to the purpose of regulation of streamflow in a manner which will insure that all project purposes, share equitably in the benefits of multiple-purpose construction. "(5) Costs of r e f l a t i o n of streamflow features incorporated in a n j Federal reservoir or other impoundment under the provisions of this Act shall be determined and the beneficiaries identified and if the benefits are widespread or national in scope, the costs of such features shall be nonreimbursable.
