agreed with the latter in every particular, save that it was one- 

 fifth larger. 



Fig. 5, is the hindmost molar of the ox, a smaller animal than 

 the last. 



Figs. 6 and 8, are too views of the hindmost molar of one of the deer 

 family. It corresponds precisely with a large antelope in the museum, 

 and the Cuvierian characteristics of the teeth of the camel, antelope, 

 goat, and sheep, which contradistinguish them from the other ruminants, 

 namely, " qu'ils ont la face externe de leurs molaires inferieures sim- 

 plement divis^e en autant de piliers demi-cylindriques qu'elles out 

 chacune de doubles croissans," are particularly marked in it. The 

 antelope is one of the animals not hitherto known in a fossil state, 

 therefore it will be improper to pronounce upon a single tooth ; but 

 the goat and sheep are equally so, and the specimen is too large for 

 them, and too small for the camel. 



Fig. 7, seems to be the interior spire of the tooth of a ruminant, of 

 which the exterior has been destroyed. 



Fig 9, is the second milch tooth, in germ, of the ox or deer; and 

 fig. 10, one of the middle incisors of the latter animal. 



Fig. 11, is the second or third molar tooth of the lower jaw of a 

 horse. It somewhat exceeds in size the corresponding tooth of the 

 celebrated racing mare Eclipse, of 15 hands high, whose skull is in 

 Dr. Pearson's possession. 



Fig. 12, is a fragment of the jaw of a small deer ; the teeth are all 

 lost, but one, which is ground down by age, until all the marks are 

 effaced. 



Fig. 13, is an incisor of some small ruminant. 



Fig. 14, is rightly attributed by Mr. Dean to the water rat. The 

 delineations on the crown differ slightly from the drawings in 

 Cdvier's synoptical plate of the " Rongeurs;" but they agree with the 

 existing species. 



Fig. 15, are Saurian teeth, probably of the garial or L. Gangetica. 

 Several fragments of the jaw of the alligator appear in the collection, 

 and many of the vertebrae of a dark-brown shining aspect, well 

 preserved. One of these is represented in fig. 21, (upside down,) to 

 shew the appearance of the processes. 



Fig. 16, is correctly described by Mr. Dean as the fossil sting of a 

 ray fish, coinciding precisely with the recent specimen sent by him for 

 comparison (of which a portion is delineated under the fossil, fig. 17). 



Fig. 18. Several pointed calcareous spiracles, without organic struc- 

 ture, but semi-crystallized, appear to resemble the pseudostalactites 

 thus described in Professor Buckland's memoir on the Ava fossils : —
