** These remains consist of bones almost all fractured, and of 

 teeth, the greatest part of which were discovered still adhering 

 to their maxillary bones. They were found dispersed without 

 any order, lying cross-wise the one upon the other, but dis- 

 posed to a horizontal position. The bones are whitish, light, 

 tender, and often extremely friable ; their cavities arc common- 

 ly filled by a reddish cement, which is the same substance as 

 their gangiLe to which they adhere. In other respects, they 

 do not appear to have been in any way altered by the heat of 

 the lavas which covered them. The teeth present similar cha- 

 racters, with the exception of some parts of the enamel, which 

 do not so readily suffer an encroachment from the adhering 

 cement." 



[The account of these animals is accompanied with three 

 very well executed lithographic representations by M. Vibert, 

 Member of the Academy of Le Puy. Of the characteristic 

 specimens thus found, which were submitted by Dr Reynaud 

 of the same town to the judgment of Baron Cuvier and of M. 

 Rousseau, assistant-naturalist of the cabinet of comparative 

 anatomy in Paris, the result of the examination was as fol- 

 lows : — Two molar teeth of the lower jaw were referred to the 

 Rhinoceros leptorhimis, or Rhinoceros of Italy. Other bones 

 were considered as belonging to the Hyoena speloea ; the Hy- 

 ena of the caverns, or of Germany, — a species analogous to 

 the living spotted hyena of the Cape : while a great propor- 

 tion of other bones were referable to at least four indetermi- 

 nate species of Cervi, one of which was of a very considerable 

 magnitude.] 



" We see by this enumeration, that such a portion of the site 

 of Saint-Privat as we have been able to explore, has furnished 

 the debris of a considerable number of Cervi of different kinds 

 and ages, of at least two hyenas, and of a Rhinoceros. And 

 there is no doubt that if the superimposed basalt could be de- 

 tached, and if the excavations which M. Deribier and myself
