“Women are in many respects superior to men, since generally speaking, they have more patience and often more taste and discrimination in arranging collections and more deftness in manipulating materials. How true this is!”

“In a bowlder of {{w|Triassic}} {{w|sandstone}} which the glacier carried two or three miles, possibly, and deposited not far from the site of {{w|Mount Holyoke College}}, the writer recently found an excellently preserved skeleton of a small dinosaur the length of whose body is about 18{{w|Centimetre|cm}}. The bowlder was split along the plane in which the fossil lies and part of the bones are in one half and part in the other. These bones are hollow and the whole framework is very light and delicate.”
