page 425 note 1 According to Ross and many other explorers, great banks of Laminaria and other seaweeds, similar to those around Behring Island, on which the Rhytina fed, abound in the South Polar seas.

page 426 note 1 The great Struthious (wingless) birds of New Zealand were formerly supposed to be the descendants of the makers of the tridactyle footprints left upon the slabs of Triassic sandstone in the Connecticut Valley and elsewhere. These footprints have been described by the late Professor O. C. Marsh, and shown to have been left by bipedal Dinosaurian reptiles, which were living in the Triassic period, before birds had made their appearance.
