EXTINCTION OF ANIMALS. This e.xtraordinaiylawof nature, with which geology first made us acquainted, is perhaps, through the agency of man, 111 mere active operations, at the pre sent time, than it has at any period since the creation of our planet. Of this we have a striking instance of the fur trade. The animals that supply furs are pursued with unceasing hostility. Immediately after South Georgia was explored by captain Cook, in 1771, the Americans commenced carrying seal kins from thence to China, w here they obtained tne most exorbitant prices. 0 -n- . i j i ,1. j One million two hundred thousand have been taken from that is,and hom gince (hat jod and i m,,..fmm 4. ieUnA f nil Luuni uuiiiuLi Aivriii ik.i(4uu vy Ue?ofation Th(j Ig,anda (g Q3 d , n ,32l and amounted lQ 1 ' three hundred thousand!
