ever published is the "Lithographia

burg naturalist named Behringer in
1726. Probably very few copies are

all that he could get possession of soon
after the book appeared He had been
victimized by some practical jokers.
who had made a great variety OF arti-
fetal fossils and hidden them in a
quarry, to which they then enticed the
professor. Behrfnger was overjoyed
by so rich a find and had no suspicion
of the trick, although many of the fos-
sils were Of a very grotesque charac-
ter. He took his treasures home. made
elaborate drawings Of them and wrote
a minute description OF each. as well
as an exhaustive commentary filled
with ingenious and plausible theories
When he had published the book the
jokers confessed, and then, of course,
the professor did his utmost TO sup
press the work.
