 ten different jaws : while on the other hand, 

 in the skeleton just discovered at Barber's, the 

 upper jaw, which was found in the extreme of 

 decay, was to be completed, so far as it goes, 

 from the more solid fragment of the head be- 

 longing to the skeleton found at Masten's. 

 Several feet-bones in this skeleton were to be 

 made from that ; and a few in that were to 

 be made from this. In this the right humerus 

 being real, the imitation for the left one eould 

 be made with the utmoft certainty ; and the 

 radius and ulna of the left leg being real, 

 those on the right side would follow in course, 

 &c. The collection of ribs in both cases was 

 pretty intire; therefore, having discovered 

 from a correspondence between the number of 

 vertebrae and ribs in both animals, that there 

 were nineteen pair of the latter, it was neces- 

 sary in only four or five instances to supply 

 the counterparts, by correct models from the 

 real bones. In this manner the two skeletons 

 were formed, and ^re in both instances com- 

 posed of the appropriate bones of the animal, 

 or exact imitations fron> the real bones in the 

 same skeleton, or from those of the same pro^*
