EVOLUTION OF BIRDS.
TRACED BACK TO REPTILES.
Evolutionists believe that mon arote from the basic stock that pro- duced the apes. The ancestry of birds (writes Lee S. Crandlalt, Curator of Birds at New York Zoological Park in the Nw York Herald) can be re- traced still further to none other thon the lowly reptile. Fossil birds, to
which we must look for our evidenco. are almost as ararce as fossil men.
In spite of their relative scarcity, and the miracle of chance by which they must be found a few bird fossila are known. From the Cretaceous rocks of western Kansas, the age of which is believed to be from six to seven million years, we have two ancient creatures, obviously birds, pet undeniably of reptilian affinities.

Lees conepicuoue but perhaps more convincing are the claws, usually rudimentary, which many bide stifl retain on their finger tips. The digits of the fore limb have ben coalesced that they have little of the appearance of those of the rept le yat they any etill be traced. In most birds only the thumb and first finger nie plainly seen. The thumb exists as the Tree joint near the bend of the wing, while the first finger is at the extreme end. In many young birds and seme adults these fingers bear unmistakable claws. In the ostriches ewus and cassowaries they are large and well developed. In the ducks and raile they are smaller but prescut never. theless. Usually these clawz are susrely leftovers and appear to have Eo useful function.
