They make but slow progress, their necks are extended slightly forwards, but little of the body appears above water. At Bahia Blanca, in the months of October and September, an extraordinary number of eggs are found all over the country. The eggs either lie scattered about, or are collected together in a shallow excavation or nest; in the former case they are never hatched, and are termed by the

Mr. G. Sowerby, who has been good enough to examine the shells which were found with the remains of the quadrupeds, has given me the following list. 1. Voluta angulata. 2. -------- colocynthis. 3. Oliva Brasiliensis. 4. ------- Nearly related to O. patula, but specimen imperfect. 5. ------- Nearly related to O. oryza; less nearly to small species now living at Bahia Blanca. 6. ------- Nov. spec. 7. Buccinum cochlidium. 8. ------------ globulosum. 9. ------------ One or two minute species

safety, conclude, that the earthy matter, forming the surface of this lower one, together with its embedded skeleton, was deposited long after the existence of the present species, still inhabitants of the sea. According, therefore, to the chronology, taken from the duration of species among the molluscs, the fossil quadruped of Port St. Julian must have been coeval, or nearly so, with those from Bahia Blanca. Having now briefly described the principal circumstances in the geology of the three

It is common over the whole of the great plains, which compose the eastern side of the southern part of America. According to
