A Spanish journal, the Athenee, gives an &C
count of the alleged discovery of the fossil re-
mains Of man Of gigantic stature. in digging
the canal Of Sopena, in that country. II is said
to have been eighteen feet in length, and TO have
embedded in argillaceous earth and had become
petrifed. The bones, veins and arteries were
distinguished. The account suppOSes these to
be antedeluvian remains.
The existence Of antediluvan human fossils
is one OF the great problems of Geology. Spar
is the spot in which it is claimed that they have
been more than once discovered. In the pro
vince of Arragon, it has been contended thai
petrifed human bones, and, in one instance,
perfect petrified human skeleton, have been
found in mass OF animal petrIiactons.
Among the numerous cases clted on mat SIH5
Of the question: we do not find it stated that tho
human remains were Of any extraordinary size.
The celebrated Guadalupe case, which mas
been relied on so strongly as proving the dliuVt
an theory of fossils by including the human race
among the remains, was OF an ordinarily SZeC
female, wanting the head, the right arm, arc
both feet, found embedded in solid rock. Inc
subject is one of much curious speculauoM
Those who, like ourselves, know little OF these
entific traits Of the controversy, yet like I" reau
of the facts which are daily disclosed, concern
ing the ancient constitution and changes oil Inc
globe we inhabt, may find an account Of tly
principal instances Of the discovery Of SUPPOSE
human fossils, in the 18th chapter of niue DGyN
