llhine passes, yields fragments of this animal, ari® 
more numerously on the side of Germany than 
France. Not only in its course, but in the allnr'®

fossil remains also found. Thus Holland aboon jjiih 
them, and even the most elevated parts of the j 
Republic are not exempt from tliem. . 
Germany and Swisserland appear particularly , 
in these wonderful relics. The greater number 
these parts, is, perhaps, as is observed by M. 
attributable to their greater abundance, but to
