[89] "Sur un os d'une grosseur énorme qu'on a trouvé dans une couche de glaise au milieu de Paris; et en général sur les ossemens fossiles qui ont appartenu à 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 palæontological article appears to have been one entitled _Beiträge 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.

[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 fossil shells of Mayence (1806); and on a new genus (_Clotho_) of bivalve shells. [95] _Sur les ossemens qui se trouvent dans le gyps de Montmartre_ (_Bulletin des sciences pour la Société philomatique_, tomes 1, 2, 1798, pp. 154-155). [96] The following account is translated from the fourth edition of the _Ossemens fossiles_, vol. 1., 1834, also the sixth edition of the _Discours_, separately published in 1830. It does not differ materially from the first edition of the _Essay on the Theory of the Earth_, translated by Jameson, and republished in New York, with additions by Samuel L. Mitchell, in 1818. [97] In the first edition of the _Théorie_ he says fifteen years, writing in 1812. In the later edition he changed the number of years to thirty. [98] De Blainville is inclined to make light of Cuvier's law and of his assumptions; and in his somewhat cynical, depreciatory way, says:
