ANTIQUITY OF THE HUMAN REMAINS IN BELGIUM HOW PROVED. 



HAVING- hitherto considered those formations in which 

 both the fossil shells and the mammalia are of living 

 species, we may now turn our attention to those of older 

 date, in which the shells being all recent, some of the ac 

 companying mammalia are extinct, or belong to species not 

 known to have lived within the times of history or tradition. 



Discoveries of MM. Tournal and Christol in 1828, in the 

 South of France. ' 



In the Principles of Geology, when treating of the 

 fossil remains found in alluvium, and the mud of caverns, I 

 gave an account in 1832 of the investigations made by 

 MM. Tournal and Christol in the South of France.* 



M. Tournal stated in his memoir, that in the cavern of 

 Bize, in the department of the Aude, he had found human 

 bones and teeth, together with fragments of rude pottery, in 



* let ed. vol. ii. ch. xiv., 1832 ; and 9th ed. p. 738, 1853.
