The bones described were found in the former, and designated as ' soft fossil:' the giraffe in * the hard fossil.'" The remarkable admixture of extinct and recent forms which constitute the ancient fauna has been noticed by Messrs. Falconer. An extinct testudinate form, {colossochelys atlas,) a,8 enormous to other known chelonians as the satirians of the lias oolite are to their existing analogue, it there associated with one or more of the same spcvoies of crocodile that now inhabit the rivers of India. The evidence respecting one of the species of crocodile, resting as it does on numerous remains of individuals of all ages, is considered by the au- thors as nearly conclusive of the identity of the fossil with its recent analogue. These reptiles occur together with extinct species of such very modern types as the monkey, the camel, the ante- lope, and (as has been shewn) the giraffe ; and these are met by species of the extinct genera liratherium and anoplotherium. As regards the anoplotherias, those hitherto discovered have been confined to Europe, and as regards their geological distribution, to the older and middle tertiaries. In India this.
