PLATE CIV.

C. BREVET'S GIGANTÆUS

or BISON EER of the G. Mtn.

Bones of the Species in the Museum of the University of Edin.

An engraving showing three fossilized skeletons of a bison (Gigantæus) and a human skeleton for comparison. The bison skeleton is the largest, shown in profile with its head turned back. The human skeleton is smaller and stands to the right. The ground is depicted as a flat, textured surface.
A blank, aged, cream-colored page, likely an endpaper or flyleaf of a book. The page shows signs of wear, including faint smudges, discoloration, and a vertical crease near the left edge.This image shows a blank, aged, cream-colored page, likely an endpaper or flyleaf from an old book. The paper has a slightly textured appearance with some minor discoloration and faint smudges, particularly along the left edge where a vertical crease is visible. There is no text or other markings on the page.

A blank, aged page with a light beige background, showing significant water damage and staining. The stains are irregular, blotchy, and range in color from light tan to dark brown, particularly concentrated along the top edge and in the lower half of the page.This image shows a single, blank page of aged paper. The paper has a warm, light beige or cream-colored tone. It is heavily marked by water damage, which appears as large, irregular, and blotchy stains. These stains vary in color, ranging from a light tan or yellowish-brown to a darker, more brownish hue. The staining is most prominent along the top edge and is scattered across the lower half of the page, creating a mottled appearance. There are no discernible characters, words, or illustrations on the page.
