been the present Of from nix to ten milHon
yeazH ago. In consequence OF tho general
evidenea he haa secured Of the >cons
tinued eristence Of the erotzoeous cfAuns n
eaill living forms. Mr.. " b Carpenter, 7. r.
g., who made the report Of tho oesesEations.
has besn led vezy. cauhoualy To declare that
The 'tonss pro6ondI rests upon those
who aseert that tho formation Of chalA
has e~eE been Interrupted since the crnta-
ceous peraod." Professor Huxley confirms
this view in 7s1y declded language. L.
Austt1lia, Asoording to the last named suthor-
itY, we now behold tho remains Of tho ancient
trln6tc continent, In which plante and anipaals
OF The triaseic period arc still living and con-
btituto The vegetation and fauna Of the coun-
tn. Thia period WIS confidently more
aucient than the cret4ceous. Hence tho fact
cited Of Australia will so to strengthen The
Deductions that may be made frol the dis
cove1ics reported ty Mr.. Carpenter. In other
and Afuea, the fauns and dors OF the different
tArtiarF epochn azo found e1empleaed In
speciea which are still living, md are charsc-
totistic and dominant.
The conctuAon follows almost inevitably,
from these facts, that what appear to h
succession Of deposits, arc not, in al cases:
suceeskion. We see : cretaeeouB land and =
tertiasy land side BY side, and say that the cre-
taceous formations were deposited in one ago.
nd the tertiary IN \ succeeding one. This
may not be. The two may hAve been deposit
Cd ccEtempo.aneously, or nearly 30, In adjosn-
ipg parts Of the came ocean. The one, creta-
ctocs.xonld represent the sediment Of = deeI'
ing mineral matter Of = certain chemical
CONSTITUENCY, and, in all its circum-
stances, favorable to the life OF ccItain
cla4s of orgsniEms. The other, tertiary,
would stand for Rhallower eea, with warmer
wsters, holding different kind OF solids, and
in al tts circumstances favorable to the devel.
opmeut Of other forms Of life. Such differ
cncea prevail in modern seas, md control the
distribution OF the provinces Of marine LIFE.
There Is no reason for supposins they did not
prevail to corresponding extent In the past.
This yiew, In the measure thatit can be fegiti.
mAteIy Applied to tbs several geological for.
nations, may materially reduce tbs time re.
