		Scheuchzer was a dedicated follower of the diluvial theory and in this work he puts the view that "lying stones" (fossils) are real fish which once lived, but which had been drowned during the Biblical flood, unable to cope with the fresh water to which they were exposed.
		The title translates as "the grievances and claims of fishes" and in Scheuchzer's work fossil fish from all over Europe appear before an imaginary court eloquently complaining about their misappreciation as animals and go on to accuse adherents like Robert Plot of the Royal Society who believed theories such as vis plastica and lusus naturae.
		Scheuchzer was among the first to recognise and illustrate corals as marine organisms and remains of the diluvian period.

		Swiss naturalist Johann Jakob Scheuchzer, a pioneering paleontologist in his day, was one of the most ardent supporters of the Flood theory.
		Then in 1725 Scheuchzer triumphantly produced what he claimed to be a skeleton of Homo diluvii testis, an illfated "man, a witness of the Flood and had seen God, a vestige of the accursed original human race that had been swallowed up by the universal deluge.
		Scheuchzer ventured another estimate: The Flood (hence, the "death" of fossils) occurred two hundred and fifty years before the building of the Great Pyramid at Giza in Egypt.

		The integration of rational functions (1702-1703) was, to be sure, an important accomplishment; but the subject was not completely explored, since Leibniz supposed (Johann Bernoulli to the contrary) that there existed other imaginary units besides ?-1 (for example, 4?-1) which could not be represented by ordinary complex numbers.
		The discussion with Johann Bernoulli on the determination of arclike algebraic curves in the plane (1704-1706) resulted in both a consideration of relative motions in the plane and an interesting geometric construction of the arclike curve equivalent to a given curve.
		This construction is related to the optical essay of 1689 and to the theory of envelopes of 1692-1694, but it cannot readily be grasped in terms of a formula (1706).

		It was not before 1708 that Johann Jakob SCHEUCHZER (amongst others) recognized their real nature.
