Every effort at correctness has been made; although, owing to unavoidable reduction to so small a scale, the coloring especially can be but suggestive. To Prof. Joseph Leidy, Dr. Wm. S. Zantzinger, and Major John Lb Conte, who most obligingly gave me tro advnutage of their aid and counsel in selecting the originals of these figures, must be ascribed the merit ot carrying Prof. Agassiz’s conception into detailed effect.
