"Miss," he hesitated, even shamefacedly, because to suggest to such a fine-mannered, calm young lady that she might be ignorant, seemed perilously near impertinence. "Miss, did you mean you wanted only the Lilium Giganteum, or or other things, as well." "I should like to see," she answered him, "all that you see. I should like to hear more of it all, when we have time to talk it over.
He was becoming excited, like a war horse scenting battle from afar, and forgot himself. "The Lilium Giganteum I don't know whether you've ever seen one, miss but if you did, it'd almost take your breath away. A Lilium that grows twelve feet high and more, and has a flower like a great snow-white trumpet, and the scent pouring out of it so that it floats for yards.
It is the Lilium giganteum, and it has fourteen flowers on a single stalk and each 4 1/2 inches long and the same across. We still love most of all the white violets we have as children picked in an English wood, and even this great white lily will never supplant them in our affections.

Among the fresh-water strata of this age near the base of the Pyrenees are marls, limestones and sands, in which the eminent comparative anatomist, M. Lartet, has obtained a great number of fossil mammalia common to the faluns of the Loire and the Upper Miocene beds of Switzerland, such as Dinotherium giganteum and Mastodon angustidens; also the bones of quadrumana, or of the ape and monkey tribe, which were discovered in 1837, the first of that order of quadrupeds detected in Europe.

I had heard that the Lycoperdon giganteum reaches nine feet in circumference, but here were white mushrooms, nearly forty feet high, and with tops of equal dimensions. They grew in countless thousands the light could not make its way through their massive substance, and beneath them reigned a gloomy and mystic darkness. Still I wished to go forward.
Among the Bracklesham fossils besides the Cardita, the huge Cerithium giganteum is seen, so conspicuous in the Calcaire Grossier of Paris, where it is sometimes two feet in length. Out of 193 species of testacea procured from the Bagshot and Bracklesham beds in England, 126 occur in the Calcaire Grossier in France.
