in this direction, as did Brander's _Fossillia Hantoniensia_, published in 1766, which contained "excellent figures of fossil shells from the more modern (or Eocene) marine strata of Hampshire. In his opinion fossil animals and testacea were, for the most part, of unknown species, and of such as were known the living analogues now belonged to southern latitudes" (Lyell's _Principles_, eighth edition, p. 46). [85] _Annales du Museum d'Histoire Naturelle_, vi., 1805, pp. 222-228. [86] _Recueil de Planches des Coquilles fossiles des environs de Paris_ (Paris, 1823). There are added two plates of fossil fresh-water shells (twenty-one species of Limnaea, etc.) by Brard, with sixty-two figures. [87] _Cuvier et Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire. Biographies scientifiques_, par Ducrotay de Blainville (Paris, 1890, p. 446). [88] "Memoire sur des os fossiles decouverts aupres de la ville d'Aix en Provence" (Mem. Acad. Sc., Paris, 1760, pp. 209-220). [89] "Sur un os d'une grosseur enorme qu'on a trouve dans une couche de glaise au milieu de Paris; et en general sur les ossemens fossiles qui ont appartenu a de grands animaux" (_Journal de Physique_, tome xvii., 1781. pp. 393-405). Lamanon also, in 1780, published in the same _Journal_ an article on the nature and position of the bones found at Aix en Provence; and in 1783 another article on the fossil bones belonging to gigantic animals. [90] Hollmann had still earlier published a paper entitled _De corporum marinorum, aliorumque peregrinorum in terra continente origine_ (_Commentarii Soc. Goettingen._, tom. iii., 1753, pp. 285-374). [91] _Novi Commentarii Soc. Sc. Goettingensis_, tom. ii., _Commentat._, tom. i. [92] His first palaeontological article appears to have been one entitled _Beitraege zur Naturgeschichte der Vorwelt_ (Lichtenberg, _Voigt's Magaz._, Bd. vi., S. 4, 1790, pp. 1-17). I have been unable to ascertain in which of his publications he describes and names the cave-bear. [93] _Specimen archaeologia telluris terrarumque imprimis Hannoveranae_, pts. i., ii. _Cum 4 tabl. aen. 4 maj._ Gottingae, 1803. [94] Faujas Saint-Fond wrote articles on fossil bones (1794); on fossil plants both of France (1803) and of Monte Bolca (1820); on a fish from Nanterre (1802) and a fossil turtle (1803); on two species of fossil ox, whose skulls were found in Germany, France, and England (1803), and on an elephant's tusk found in the volcanic tufa of Darbres (1803); on the foss
