The FLORIDA REEFs.-Prof. Agassiz deliv-
cred lecture in New York upon the age of
the present physical world as derived from
ancient coins and animal remains Of species
still eztant, especially from coral reefs. The
the conclusions drawn from them as to the
time taken for their formation. He said that
the popular notion that the coral was the
work of an insect was entirely erroneous
The reefs consist of organized remains of a
class of radiates, which become rigid by the
continual deposits of limy particles. The
corals begin their work at depth of twelve
fathoms and work upwards. The Florida
reefs are the best in the world for scientific
o5servations. From observations made upon
them by Prof Agassiz, he has found that in
fourteen years the growth Of the coral about
the coast forts was almost one inch, which
would make about seven inches in q century.
To be safe, however, he allows one foot cen
tury. With this as basis. the youngest
reef on the coast-the Florida Kevs-was
found to be at least 5000 years old. But the
Keys are founded upon a similar reef which
was founded before the outerone. 4his adds
6000 years more to the age of the banks-
Then landing upon the main land, third
reef is found precisely similar, adding ano-
ther 5000 years to the chronology. But
back of this is fourth and still older coral
reef, which ADDS 5000 years more. Here
positive investigations cease, and Prof. Agas-
siz claims to esta blish the fact indisputably,
that this portion Oh the world is at least q,
600 years old, an age far beyond any recora
of the race now inhabiting it.
