that those parts ad AGENT to the sea through
which it was proposed to cut the canal for
flooding the low-l !, ing region were rocky
and hardly to be pierced. NJ. de Lesseps de-
clares they are of sand. "They IRE very much
above the sea level" says the commission.
S'They are nothing Of the Sort" says NJ. de
Lesseps. His theory here, as at Suez, Is that
b has been may be again, and he is
strongly of opinion that there was once an
int. rior sea or great salt water lake in this
region. The sayants reported against that
conclusion. "If there had been. we should
have onnd i'll the present dry bed large de-
posits OF salt, and we find nothing Of the
Sort" NJ. de Lesseps has no more respect
for this opinion than for the others. "Yuu
may have a salt sea without salt deposits
where salt currents pass through what would
otherwise be q fresh water lake, as in the
Mediterranean and elsewhere" NJ. de Les.
