Sixteen or eighteen other species of fossils appear to be ana- 
logous to existing genera, but not to existing species ; these are,

The small hippopotamus. 
The bear, 
The jacuar. 
The hare. 
The fox.

Five species of mastodonta. 
Ten species of paleotherium. 
Five species of anoplotherium.

Cuvier thinks that these bones are not human bones.

ject, for soon afterwards I saw several. But we do not know 
of any others. 
. Fossil Fishes.—In the great number of fossil fishes which have

been recognised similar to those of the present day. 
Fossil Shells.—Fossil shells have been observed from the high-
