Or, considering how many of theircharacteristic types are alive in our modern seas, why arenot the chalk and crinoidal limestones of the Mesozoic andPaleozoic rocks just as recent as the nummulitic limestonesof the Eocene, or any other rocks? It is no answer at all to say that, though the general typesare identical, yet many of the species are different. No one. GODS TWO BOOKS 14S has had the courage to attempt to spell through the flood ornew names with which the science of the last half centuryhas been inundated; but we would Hke more satisfactoryproof of this assertion than the traditions and customs of ahundred years, and the exigencies of a fanciful theory; forwe can not forget during how many years similar state-ments were persistently made regarding the great mam-mals. This worn-out argument of Cuviers about extinctspecies has kept up a running fight withcommon sense for many decades, and,though driven backward from one point toanother over the long, thin line of this tax-onomic series of the ancient world, it stillcontests every inch of ground. Let us try the tree-ferns and cycads ofthe coal beds of the Paleozoic and Meso-zoic. In northern regions they do not oc-cur later than the Triassic and Jurassic,and doubtless it is the same with the rocksin the tropics,
