X. — On the probable Dimensions of Carcharodon Megalodon 

 from the Crag. By J. S. Bowerbank, F.ll.S., L.S. &c* 



When we view small portions only of extinct animals, such as 

 teeth or fragments of bone, there is often a considerable degree 

 of difficulty in picturing in our minds anything like the size and 

 proportions of the creature to which such remains have belonged, 

 and it is with a view of endeavouring to realize in our imagina- 

 tions the fish to which the great teeth of Carcharodon Megalodon 

 from the Crag has belonged, which has induced me to introduce 

 this subject to your notice on the present occasion.
