What a history of geological changes does the simply-constructed coast of Patagonia reveal! (PLATE 39.

RAISED BEACHES, PATAGONIA.) At Port St.Julian, in some red mud capping the gravel on the 90-feet plain, I found half the skeleton of the Macrauchenia Patachonica, a remarkable quadruped, full as large as a camel.

I have lately heard that Captain Sulivan, R.N., has found numerous fossil bones, embedded in regular strata, on the banks of the R.Gallegos, in latitude 51 degrees 4'.

Some of the bones are large; others are small, and appear to have belonged to an armadillo.

This is a most interesting and important discovery.) It belongs to the same division of the Pachydermata with the rhinoceros, tapir, and palaeotherium; but in the structure of the bones of its long neck it shows a clear relation to the camel, or rather to the guanaco and llama.
