This work was published as Vol. XI of The Animal Kingdom: Arranged in Conformity with its Organization 1827-35 an English translation of Cuvier's Le règne animal 1817 with additional materials. The present volume is "apparently a supplement Pidgeon prepared for Cuvier's Recherches sur les ossemens fossiles" Smith p. 188 and includes illustrations reproduced from that work. The question of human contemporaneity with extinct fossil mammalia is discussed on pp. 21-36: "The result then of all our investigations serves to prove that the human race was not coeval with the fossil genera and species: for no reason can be assigned why man should have escaped from the revolutions which destroyed those other beings nor if he did not escape why his remains should not be found intermingled with theirs" p. 22. Scheuchzer's Homo diluvii testis later shown to be the fossilized remains of an extinct giant salamander is discussed on pp. 333-334. OCLC states that this volume is called "Supplementary volume on the fossils"; however this notice is not present in this copy.

See Dibner Heralds of Science 195 Printing and the Mind of Man 276 Garrison-Morton 327. The most influential exposition of the typological approach to animal classification representing the greatest body of zoological facts that had yet been assembled; it served as the standard zoological manual for most of Europe during the first half of the nineteenth century. Cuvier's view of animal organization led him to an early recognition of the balance of nature both with respect to the functional balance of parts in the individual and the interdependence of groups in the "network of nature." However Cuvier's adherence to the concept of species as rigid unchanging types rendered him unable to account for the immense variation within species populations. Coleman pp. 94-98. DSB. </p> .
