This is a joint production by Virey and Desiuarcst, written mainly, however, by Virey, 

 under the words "Baleine," "Baieinoptera," and under the same words with various specific 

 modifications, signed respectively "Virey" and "Desm." In the list of authors facing the 

 title-page of the several volumes of the Nouv. Diet,, etc., the articles on "Les Quadru- 

 pfedcs, les Cetaces et les Animaux fossiles, " are said to be written by Desmarest, and Virey is 

 stated to have written "Les articles generaux de I'Hist. nat., particuli^rement de I'Homme, 

 des Animaux, de leur structure, de leur j)hysiologie et de leura facult6s." In the following
