beria, covered with llieir flesh and skin and long hair, preserved by the frost which prevails in those regions. The remains of this

species have been found in most countries of

Europe, and in North and South America. The mastodon, an animal nearly similar to the. elephant, and which is very frequently confounded with the mammoth, has been discovered in the states of New York, Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky, and in Louisiana. There are said to be five species of this animal, one oae of which also has been found in the high plains of Quito, and another in France. The fossil hones of the rhinoceros, the hippopotamus, and the tapir have aUo been found. They generally seem, however, to have belonged to species much larger than the present known species. We might enumerate a very great number of extinct genera of beasts, birds, and fishes,

varying in size irom the rhinoceros to the mouse, from a species of birds much larger than any at present exist to the humming-bird, and from the whale to the minim, whose remains have been found in dilTereut situations and in different forms. The elk of Iceland, and the great butfilo of Siberia, may be mentioned as holding the first rank. Some of the extinct genera were of a very singular charac

ter, and entirely unlike any that now exit. But In the midst of all these different collec

tions of remains, human bones have never

been found. They have never been found

in any regularly stratified formation ; nor even

far as they have been hitherto discovered. The same is true of the quadrumana, including the apes and makis, animals which approach nearest to the human furm. If, therelore, all these vast and vaiious collections of the remains of organick bodies, were the effect of some singular revolution of the globe, which involved hundreds of genera in entire

destruction, does it not irresistibly appear that

man did not exist, at any rate in very great numbers, anterior to the last revolution of (he "lobe? What could have involved every organick body in general destruction, but smie terrible revolution, as the deluge, or a sudden alteration in the temperature of the globe?
