that the vertebrae of the second species were found in the same mass 
with the large specimen of the lower jaw. 
Remains of crocodiles have also been found in other parts of 
France ; as, at Angers and Mans. Some of these remains seem to 
show, that at least one of the fossil species above noticed is also found 
in other parts of France besides Honfleur and Havre. 
The remains of crocodiles have been also found in different parts 
of England ; but particularly on the coast of Dorsetshire, and of 
Yorkshire, near Whitby ; in the neighbourhood of Bath ; and near 
Newark, in Nottinghamshire. 
Dr. Stukeley describes a stone three feet long, and two feet two 
inches broad, found at Elston, near Newark, in Nottingham. The 
Doctor described it as containing the marks of sixteen vertebrae of 
the back and loins, and eleven joints of the tail ; nine whole or partial 
ribs of the left side ; the Os sacrum ; the Ilium in situ ; the two thigh- 
bones a little displaced ; with the beginnings of the tibia and fibula 
of the right leg. On one corner, he thought, the vestiges were to be 
seen of a foot with four toes ; and, at a little distance, an entire toe. 
The Doctor considered this fossil as the remains of a crocodile or of 
a porpoise. The stone in which these traces were discoverable, had 
been used at a well, for placing the vessels on in which the water was 
obtained. It was of a blue colour, and came probably from Fulbeck 
quarries, which are on the Western declivity of the long chain of hills 
which reach through the whole of Lincolnshire, and which contain 
numerous shells and other marine bodies.* 
M. Cuvier considers this fossil to have derived its markings from the 
remains of a crocodile : that it could not have been from the remains 
of a porpoise, he observes, is evident, from vestiges of the pelvis, a 
part which does not exist in the porpoise, being here plainly observable. 
He discovers also, in this fossil, the square and nearly equal sized
