 1902, p. 253) "is now known to belong to the Lower Cambrian, 

 for it underlies the Olenellus beds ... so that their history dates 

 back many millions of years prior to the SUurian,"

The re-publication of the curious legend that d'Orbigny was a 

 descendant of the rebel Dessalines, and that Dessalines was the slave of 

 a black potter of that name, gives pain to the d'Orbigny family, and 

 will be suppressed in the translation. I considered it proper to give the 

 information, which has been invested with the authority of Larousse, 

 but I think that the dates which I have given are enough to disprove 

 the possibihty of Charles d'Orbigny being in any way related to the 

 notorious Dessalines.
