Having had the good fortune to visit Brussels in January last, I availed myself of a few hours' delay to pay my respects to M. E. Dupont, the Director, and M. A. de Borre, the Secretary, of the Museum of Natural History in that city, by whom I was most kindly received and introduced to M. Henri Nyst (whose descriptions of the Tertiary formations of Belgium and tiieir invertebrate fauna have rendered his name familiar to almost every English geologist).

page 196 note 1 That which accompanies Dr. Tilesius's paper, printed in London in 1819, is far from correct. See the remarks in my paper, already quoted, Geol. Mag., 1868, Vol. V., p. 540, PI. XXII. and XXIII. “On the Curvature of the Tusks in the Mammoth.”.

It is much to be regretted that this important paper has not yet appeared in full, as it contained much valuable information, and was the result of long and careful study of the Bears.
