Afterwards, byadvice of Dr. Buckland, they visited Franconia, and explored thecaverns of Kiiloch, Eabenstein, Scharzfeld and Gailenreuth, andreturned laden with spoils of Hysena, Bear, Lion, Ehinoceros andother cave-animals. Encouraged by Prof. Agassiz, they took up thestudy of fossil Fishes, with which their names will ever remainassociated. It seems only appropriate that the collections made bythese two eminent palichthyologists, whose life-long friendship wascemented by a common interest, should now rest side by side in theGeological Gallery of the British Museum (Natural History).
