But at the risk of be- ing'absurd^ Ave will venture a few thoughts- upon this subject, hot altogether in harmony- with this (generally received opinion. Many apparently beautiful theories emi- nating from some popular center, or pro- mulgated Dy some leading spirit of the age in which: he inov:d, have been unreservedly, endorsed from generation 66gunei'atipn by;a too credulous public, which on investigation: are as easily dispe led,by the blasts of reason, logic aud science as the mist before the ris- ing sun. This is owing perhaps^ fq the al-,j most natural repugnance ol the averagemind to close thought-and\ inveatigatiiaL..

An English naturalist writes thus of the fauna of the British Islands of those days: '•Tigers as large again as the biggest Asiatic specie? lurked in the ancient thickets. Illle- phants of nearly twice the bulk of the larg- est, individuals that now exist in Africa or Geyli'ti, roamed in herds. At least two spo- cfi'S of rhinoceros forced their way through the primeval Iprests: and the lakes and rivers were tenanted by hippopotami as bulky atid with as great-tusks as those of Af-ica.\ Another writer adds,: \The mas- sive cave-bear, !he large cave-hyeiia,- as \vell . as two species of oxen,, a hoi;se arid an ?'k. that stood foil ten feet in lieighti\.; • Again: wo are told,' that in tlie 'fb'bne. beds\-.-of the .roc'KP, in varions.-parts of fie.wbrld, the evi- ; dence of the enormous size of the animal' creatioii is abundant.

Profs Siiliman in one of his lectures al- ludes to the discovery of the skeleton of an enormous lizard of eighty feet in length; bVorti this the professor inferred,, as. no liv- ing specimen of such magnitude has been found, that the speoiesrwhich -it -represents: hosbecome uegenerated: The truth -of''fits: position he quite successfully enforces by aU lusiori to the welfeknow.n existence of giantsj in olden times. -The following is a partial list, upon which lie bases his argument: \The^-'.giant eiiiibited at Rotien m I8$0 measiir\e4 nearly eighteen, feet.
