The SouthAmerican character of the West Indian mammals1 seems toindicate that this archipelago was formerly united to the southerncontinent, and that it has subsequently been an area of subsidence. 1 See Dr. Richardsons Report, p. 157; also UInstitute 1837, p. 253.

It is certain that the WestIndies possess some mammifers peculiar to themselves. A tooth of a mastodon hasbeen brought from Bahama : Edin. New Phil. Jown. 1826, p. 395. \4° ST.
