Richard Owen (1804–92), the palaeontologist and anatomist, published this analysis of the comparative anatomy of the fossils of British birds and mammals in 1846. It compares living species with extinct ones, and explains the characteristics that help identification, using 237 illustrations to show the traits of different species.
