POPULAR LECTURES ON NATURAL
HISTORY.
BY PROF. AGASSIZ.

Prof AQassiz delivered the first Of q series Of pop
ular lectures on natural history before large audi.
ence, in Irving Hall, last evening. The lecturer in
entering on his subject adverted, in general terms,
to some of the principles of scientific investigation,
which guided the inquirer in his researches; and a.
the fret lessons in natural history led TO geological
study, he showed how the history of the different
orders Of beings which had existed might be traced
in the different strata which forms the crust Of the
earth-reaching back to the lowest order of animal
life found in the floor next to the nonfossiliferous
rocks. Having, in clear and charmiDgy simple
terms explained the basis On which the geologist
rests his theory Of animal creation; and how easily
the student might find around bin everywhere super-
abundant proof Of successive orders of living things
10 the inland rocks or on the seasbore aud how
especially in the northern part Of the State Of New
York imperisbaLle formas Of the fret animals that
have lived mi, bt be still in the slate and sand
stone formaiions and further how much even the
unitarian objects primarily sought for in the State
Geological Survey had contributed to the advance
ment of science. Prof Agassz proceeded to illustrate
the special points which he had prescribed to him
elf for his opening lecture. The first great divson
Of animal life, lie subdivided into three orders 70
each Of which be further assigned three dist nctlve
characteristics beginning with coras, then shells,
and fishes of an organization IN some sort different
from almost all known existing kinds. by the AID
of extemporzed sgrams this most interesting por-
ton of the subject was made completely intelliglbe
TO the audience; ana most minute analysis Of the
structure Of each of the separate orders of the lowest
division, was presented in popular and easily COM
pretended terms. The lecture, which lasted over
an hour was listened to with the closest attention.
The next of the series will be given on Monday the
1lth inst.
