An Act designating the Phacops rana, a trilobite, as the official State fossil of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.


The SPEAKER. This bill has been considered on three dif- ferent days and agreed to and is now on final passage.

The question is, shall the bill pass finally?

On final passage, the Chair recognizes the minority leader. Mr. RYAN. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, would the gentleman, Mr. Burns, consent to a

brief period of interrogation? The SPEAKER. Mr. Burns indicates that he will stand for

interrogation. You may proceed. Mr. RYAN. Would the gentleman be kind enough to pro-

nounce the words that are contained in that bill? Mr. BURNS. Phacops rana, 1 believe. Mr. RYAN. I am sorry; say that again. Mr. BURNS. Phacops rana or rana, depending on what

dictionary one uses. Mr. RYAN. That explains it fully. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The SPEAKER. The Chair understands it just as well as

you do, Mr. Ryan, but apparently we are going to get a tribolite, whatever that is.

Mr. BURNS. That is a trilobite, Mr. Speaker. The SPEAKER. Oh, we are not getting a tribolite; we are

getting a trilobite. That is all right. I can vote for a trilobite. Mr. BURNS. Mr. Speaker, those youngsters in the second

grade corrected me 14 times on these names. The SPEAKER. I am glad someone understands it.


The SPEAKER. Mr. Burns says he will stand for further BUrd Seventy

interrogation. EXCUSED-3

The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Berks, Mr. Davies.

Mr. DAVIES. Mr. Speaker, would the gentleman stand for just one other question?

Mr. DAVIES. Mr. Speaker, in the vernacular of geology, is this supposed to be a new fossil or an old fossil?

Mr. BURNS. 1 believe it is an old fossil, Mr. Speaker. Mr. DAVIES. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The SPEAKER. I hope that nobody drew the wrong infer-
