So, We see, that here We have long year
consisting OF u. Jun of our common years.
and that each hemisphere passes through
alternately ten or eleven thousand years oi
summer and OF winter During its winter IT
is submerged under the ocean its vegetation
compressed into coal beds it, whole sur
face covered with marine deposits and sedi-
ment transported and scattered by ocean
currents ; aud thus enriched it rises again
after long winter of 10000 years, to be re-
newed IN life clothed with vegetation and
beauty to become again the theatre of ac-
tivity through II vast summer as long as it,
season OF repose. Siyty-lye coal beds IN
horizontal layers, one above another, with
marine deposits between, have been opened
in the British islands, which makes 1t prob
able that at least 90 OF these long years have
passed since vegetation grew upon the earth.
