Synopsis

Excerpt from Memoir on the Megatherium: Or Giant Ground-Sloth of America, (Megatherium Americanum, Cuvier)

In the year 1821 Drs. Pander and d'al'ron published their beautiful Monograph on the Megatherium, the result of personal examination and depiction of the then unique skeleton at Madrid they represent the bones more artistically and in more natural juxtaposition than in the plates of bru's memoir, but the subject being the same, the same deficiencies, to be presently specified, were unavoidable.
