Mr. Bowerbank's " Observations," like those which have called 

 them forth, contain no Natural- History matter ; but in three pages 

 the writer utterly demolishes Professor Sedgwick's elaborate "Reply." 

 No counter-pleading can remove the impression conveyed by Mr. 

 Bowerbank's " Observations."
