CHAPTER 1.
INTRODUCTORY.
Preliminary Remarks on the Subjects treated of in this Work.
Definition of the terms Recent and Pleistocene. Tabular View of the
entire Series of Fossiliferous Strata.

CHAPTER 2.
RECENT PERIOD--DANISH PEAT AND SHELL MOUNDS--
SWISS LAKE-DWELLINGS.
Works of Art in Danish Peat-Mosses. Remains of three Periods of
Vegetation in the Peat. Ages of Stone, Bronze, and Iron. Shell-Mounds
or ancient Refuse-Heaps of the Danish Islands. Change in geographical
Distribution of Marine Mollusca since their Origin. Embedded
Remains of Mammalia of Recent Species. Human Skulls of the same
Period. Swiss Lake-Dwellings built on Piles. Stone and Bronze
Implements found in them. Fossil Cereals and other Plants. Remains of
Mammalia, wild and domesticated. No extinct Species. Chronological
Computations of the Date of the Bronze and Stone Periods in

Switzerland. Lake-Dwellings, or artificial Islands called "Crannoges,"
in Ireland.

CHAPTER 3.

RECENT PERIOD--continued.
Delta and Alluvial Plain of the Nile. Burnt Bricks in Egypt before the
Roman Era. Borings in 1851-54. Ancient Mounds of the Valley of the
Ohio. Their Antiquity. Sepulchral Mound at Santos in Brazil. Delta of
