From the geological characters of the caves and bone-breccia, 

 the mode of distribution of the bones in the caves, and the na- 

 ture of the teeth and bones themselves, it follows, 



1. That these caves agree in character with those in Europe. 



2. That the bone-breccia exhibits the same character as the 

 varieties of that rock found in different parts of the European 

 continent and islands. 



3. That New Holland was, at a former period, distinguished 

 from the other parts of the world, by the same peculiarities in 

 the organization of its animals, which so strikiDgly characterize 

 it at the present day. ti,i« o.^, x.< ..>,hi jAf
