Freak Fossils Found
In Museum Group
By Research Worker
What is believed to be the only
authentic fossil joke ever discov-
ered, at least at the University of
Michigan, was found the other day
in the shape of a clay duck head,
and question mark of the same
material, in a group of fish fossils
brought back by last summers'
University Greenland expedition
The freaks were discovered by,
Dr. Carl L. Hubbs ,curator of fishes
in the University Museums, who is
doing research work on the group
of fossils. The duck head and
question mark, although perfect in
shape, are believel to be natural
freaks; it has never been ascer-
tained that the pre-historic man,
who may have existed during the
formation of the other fossils in
the group, ever had a sense of
humor.
Museum authorities, when inter-
viewed concerning the matter,
were of the opinion that the freaks
are of organic origin, although
what kind of fish or reptile forms
the basis for the clay of which the
duck and question mark are com-
posed, is not known and probably
1 never will be discovered because
the two joke fossils are being
mounted and will be put on dis-
play in the main exhibition room
of the University Museums.
Unfortunately, whatever other
natural miracles are to be found
in the group of Greenland fossils
will remain a mystery for the time
being, for Dr. Hubbs has left for
Java to attend a science conven-
tion.

In addition to the large cata-
logue which supersedes all former
bulletins and catalogues which
have been given out, small bulletins
describing individual departmentt
offerings have been printed for
dstribution. Among these are
bulletins on work in the Law
school, in Library science, at the
Biological station at Douglas Lake
in Michigan, and in the School of
Education.
Perhaps the most interesting of
the innovations will be the special,

dive a week's course here apiece.
This will be a part of a similar{
program at five other United States
universities. The six will come to
this cointry at the same time and
will give the courses in the six
schools iri round-robin style, each
staying a week at a school and
then moving on to another.
The courses have been planned
for all students wishing a view of
contemporary psychology more ad-
vanced than the elementary course
in the department, it was said. The
guest lecturers will each deliver a
series of daily lectures for a week,
and will hold a discussion every
afternoon.
