WILLIAMS, VICE PBE8IDENT, SECTION E. THE SCOPE OF PALEONTOLOGY AND ITS VALUE TO GEOLOGISTS. The scientific study of fossils is scarcely a century old. It was in 1796 that Cuvier for the first time ventured (o say that certain fossil bones found in the Paris basin represented an extinct species of elephant. About ...the year 1819, William Smith became famous by proving that rock strata could be traced across the country by their fossils, that at each outcrop across miles of interval a stratum could be recognized by the identity of the fossil shells it contained. Previous to this, fossils had been regarded as curiosities. Cuvier and Smith made it clear that fossils tell us of organisms of whose , existence or nature we should otherwise be ignorant, and that the kinds of organism are, somehow, related to the different strata of rocks.
