17. M. RaspaiVs Discovery respecting Belemnites. — M. Raspail has lately 

 announced to the Institute, that, after a careful study of 250 Belemnites 

 collected in the mountains of Provence, he has discovered that Belemnites 

 are not the shells of animals, as geologists generally think, but that they 

 are cutaneous appendages belonging to marine animals, allied to the Echino- 

 dermata, but which are now extinct.
