The Florida Reef4-Ehe World 14souO
Years Old

Prof. Agassiz delivered lecture IN NC"
York on Sunday last, upon the aye OF thc pres
cnt physical world, as derived from ancient
coins, nnirlal remains Of species stiu cNtant
and especially from coral reefs. The lecture W'r
1naiplT devoted to Florida reefs aud the con-
clusion drawn from them as to the time TAKEN
for their formation. He said that the pop
ular notion that the coral was thu work OF an
insect was entirely erroneous. The reefs con
sist Of organized remains Of i class Of radiates,
which become rigid by the continual de-
posts Of limy particles. The eora!s be-
gin their work 1T :: depth Of IL Eathonls,
| and work upward. The Florida reefs arc the
| best in tue world for scientific observation.
| From observations made upon them by Prof.
| Agassiz, he had found that in Il years the
| growth of coral about the coast forts WAS
! almost one inch, which would make about
seven inches in Il century. To be safe, how
ever, he allowed one foot century. With
this Us a basis, the youngest reef on the
| coast-the Florida Kcys-Wa5 found TO DC a
least COO year sold. But the Keys are founded
| upon q sinilar reef which was formed bctort
tie outer one This adds 1000 years more te
the are OF the banks. Then landing npon tn
main land, d third reef is found precisely sim.
liar, adding another 6,0e0 years to the chron
ology. But back Of this, is Il fourth aId stil
older coral reel, which adds 4, 900 years n1orc
Here positive Investigations cease, and Prol
Agassiz claims to establish the fact indisput'
BIZ, that this portion Of the world is 1T le:s

Of the race now inhabitingi it.
