lower jaw, whilst the number of permanent molar teeth in this same 
jaw is four: at A. the posterior tooth of the second set is in the act 
of rising through the bone, but not yet protruded.

Plate XXIV. 
Copy of a drawing by Schroder, published by Mr. Bieling, of a 
remarkable mass of remains discovered in a bed of diluvial loam, that 
covers the gypsum quarries in new red sand-stone at Thiede, about 
four miles south-west of Brunswick. The remains lay heaped on 
each other, as represented in the plate, all within a space of 10 feet 
square. Among them were 11 tusks and 30 molar teeth of elephants 
(one 14 feet long), and various bones and teeth of elephant, rhino¬ 
ceros, horse, ox, and stag. 
In the drawing, the letters and figures which are not placed on 
teeth or bones imply that they existed in the loam in the place im¬ 
mediately below the figures respectively. 
Plate XXV. 
Fig. 1. Sectional view of the coast of Dorset, from Lyme Regis 
to the Isle of Portland, as seen from Lyme Regis; showing the 
manner in which the valleys are intersected at the point where they 
terminate in the present sea-shore. It is probable that a consider¬ 
able portion of this coast has been worn away by the sea, and that 
the small valleys or combs, which are now abruptly truncated at 
their termination, were originally continued with a gradual slope 
to the water’s edge. The form of these cliffs, and of those in fig. 2, 
as they appear when seen from a boat in passing along the coast, is 
represented in the sections by Mr. De la Beche, at Plate VIII. of the 
Geological Transactions, second Series, vol. i. part i.
