1. My G. Mazama is not new, it 
was published in, 1817, and contains 
ail the American Deer with simple 
horns. Many Sp. are living in Mex- 
ico and South America. To which 
living Sp. my silicified horn belongs 
could not be ascertained, therefore 
1 called it protem M. 8a Unarm. 
Living Genera when found fossilised 
are certainly of the last geological 
age. This horn was shown to Dr. 
H. who said I was right in Sept. 1881 
and to Mr. F. who could make noth- 
ing of it! yet I am accused of pub- 
lishing without showing to such 
learned men! 
2. The Panallodon was based upon 
teeth not silicified, but similar to the 
freshest bones found in the earth, 
nay, perhaps buried by the Indians, 
therefore later than N. 1 This was 
shown to Dr. H. who could not make 
out the G. 
8. I have substituted the name of 
Taurus (Bull) to the absurd generic 
name of Bos, (Ox) ever since 1814, 
(SeePrine. Somiol. ) as I never could 
believe it right to call animals by 
neutral names. If Mr. F. and Dr. 
H. think otherwise they may call 
themselves Eunuchus Sapiens! in- 
stead of Homo Sapiens! This tooth 
is twice as big as a Buffaloe’s recent 
tooth. It was shown to Dr. H. who 
pronounced it new, as unknown to 
him. 
As to the bone called Jfephr os- 
teon, I acknowledge that it may be 
the Epiphysis of a whale, as Dr. H. 
did tell me in 1831, after my pam- 
hlet was published. But it is per- 
aps a new whale, since he could 
not find it in Cuvier’s (osseraens fos- 
siles). JSTephrosteon is however a 
very good name, and may become 
specific. Let the learned Mr. F. 
explain how a whale came inland in 
Louisiana, if not before the flood, 
when he blundered about diluvial. 
Nothing being said of the 112 
other new objects of this enumera- 
tion, animals, shells, fossils, &c. of 
my Cabinet, probably because the 
reviewers could not go beyond 
bones: this lessens my trouble of 
explanations. 
The purpose of my pamphlet wag 
merely to announce some objects for 
sale, and orders already received 
from England and France have evin- 
ced that this triflle had answered 
its purpose of making known my 
Cabinet, and collections of sixteen 
years arduous travels. 
Thus much about bones pf con- 
tention! and this comes from the 
two individuals who have had the 
effrontery to describe, name, figure, 
and make casts of a Sandstone Con- 
cretion for a Jawbone of a Rhinoce- 
ros, and impose it on the public as a 
discovery! the only one the sapient 
Mr. F. can boast of. Some also ac- 
cuse Dr. H. notwithstanding his 
anatomical skill to have made a N. 
G. Osteopera, out of a decayed bea- 
ver skull, beaten by the tides! My 
fossil teeth and bones are at least 
bonafi.de such and not impositions. 
The second part of this strange 
review, is On a par with the first. 
It purposes to attack the first num- 
ber of the Atlantic Journal, and 
spends its venom upon the adver- 
tisements on the cover, (which are 
no more a part of it, than in the 
Mirror of New- York). One of which 
has been given at length, and then 
stereotyped, for which we ought to 
be duly thankful. The public knew 
long ago that I was a Pul mist ever 
since 1827, when I began that pro- 
fession with eminent success. Nay 
Dr. H. and Mr. F. knew it very 
well and never found it amiss till 
I published the Atlantic Journal, 
and my advertisements have been 
seen before in 50 papers. Surely I 
have as much right to be a Pulmist, 
nay perhaps the first and only one in 
America, as Dr. Harlan to be a 
Dentist! 
The contents of the Atlantic Jour- 
nal have not excited pity and indig- 
nation in any one except the hearts 
of the reviewers. They stigmatize 
the whole without entering into de- 
tails. . What credit is due to their 
assertions will be best conceived by 
stating that they dare to say, that 
our No. I, contains nothing new; in
