FOSSIL REMAINS. 333 



Before I proceed to Mr. Collie's observations on the spot 

 in which they were found, I shall extract from his journal a 

 list of the total number of animal remains collected during 

 the short time he was with Captain Beechey in Eschscholtz 

 Bay, and add my own list and description of the most per- 

 fect of these specimens, which I have selected to be engraved.
