Cuvier describes 20 or more species of fossil Carnivora, in- 
cluding several small species from the quarries of Mont-

Journal. It represents the lower jaw of a didelphis or opossum, 
of the size of a small kangaroo rat; and, as Professor Buck- 
land observes, ** forms a case hitherto unique in the discoveries 
of geology, viz. that of the remains of a land quadruped being 
found in a formation subjacent to chalk.” 
Ferbivorous Quadrupeds occupy the same geological position 
with the foregoing fossil Mammalia. ‘The larger animals of 
this class are found to possess anatomical differences from 
those now existing. ‘They are subdivided into the following 
orders : — 
Pachydérmata, thick-skinned herbivorous quadrupeds, hav- 
ing more than two toes to the foot, and incisive teeth in both 
jaws. 
‘Che Kirkdale cave has furnished bones of the elephant, 
rhinoceros, hippepotamus, and horse. 
Bones of the elephant or mammoth are among the most 
abundant in every part of the globe. We have derived 
1umerous specimens from Suffolk and Norfolk. 
The Mastodon, although figured in some works on English 
geology, does not appear to have been authenticated as a 
Br itieh fossil animal. The peculiar structure of the teeth and 
bones of these animals has been fully illustrated in various 
scientific publications. 
An extinct quadruped of this order, named by Cuvier 
Anoplothérium, found in the plaster quarries of Paris, appears 
im a single instance to have been traced in the lower fresh- 
water beds of the Isle of Wight.
