Concluding Observations of M. Deshayes, on the comple- 

 tion of his great work on the Fossil Shells of the Paris 

 Basin.* 



Having concluded the description of the fossil shells of the 

 environs of Paris, it will not be altogether useless to take a 

 rapid view of the general results obtained by their study. 



All those persons who are now occupied in geological 

 researches, acknowledge how much useful aid they have 

 obtained from a knowledge of organic fossil bodies, which 

 are imbedded in the crust of the earth. We have already 

 said, that they are the authentic medallions by which we are 

 enabled to trace the philosophic history of the successive 

 revolutions to which the planet we inhabit has been subject. 



Great results have already been accomplished in the 

 science of geology, and much grace has been conferred on 

 its study by combining it with that of fossils ; and these re- 

 sults are almost always obtained by means of appropriate 

 inductions derived from a comparison of the organization of 

 living animals with the remains of the extinct, or fossil 

 species. There can be no doubt geology, although still
