The significance of this point must be borne in mind when we term the geological and earlier forms as general and embryonal forms, and the later ones as the specialised forms. THE EXTENSION OP PALEONTOLOGICAL SCIENCE SINCE CUVIEE. The fact that the theory of descent appears less prominent during the first half of our century, and is so frequently and justly connected with Cuvier's opposition to it, makes it necessary for us to allude to his position in regard to this great question. Cuvier's almost autodidactic manner of working and viewing things comprised, as is well known, the whole animal kingdom, with the exception of some groups of microscopic and other lower animals. But he was a specialist, above all things, in the osteology of the living and fossil Mammalia, and thus stands as the founder of palaeontology and its comparative method. It was no small advantage to Cuvier that in his immediate neighbourhood were to be found deposits of the Paris Eocene, lime and gypsum, containing the remains of the earliest forms of mammals. It is astonishing what he accomplished in his ' Rechcrches sur les ossementsfossilcs,' where his principle of correlation is so brilliantly proved. The imperfectly observed geological facts and the imperfect discoveries led him, nevertheless, to the conviction that from time to time sudd...<
