Fossil Feather.—From the lithographic stone of Solenhofen, in Bavaria, Hermann von Meyer has obtained a fossil impression of a feather, on the two opposite surfaces of a split slab. This he cannot distinguish from the feather of a bird. This interesting relic will be described and figured in the "Palæontographica."
