) The most of this was formed before the Mesozoic. It is difficult to see where all this detritus came from without immense upheavals. Prof. Ramsey is of the opinion that in pre-Miocene times, the Alps were probably higher than now. He tlnds thia " amply demonstrated by the enormous thickness of fresh water and marine deposits of the Miocene Age now spread over Switzerland, " Pop. Science Mo. , Oct. 1875.
PROG. FO'K. SOC. NAT. SCI. VOL. I.
28 I have spoken of the Carboniferous period only, but ...the same reasoning applies to the other periods down to the close of the Tertiary.
In some of the most recent deposits long after the Glacial Period, there are found mingled together the bones of ani- mals, of "which some, as the musk-ox or reindeer, seem to have been inhabitants of a cold country, while others, as the hyena and tiger, appear to have required a warm region. This is exactly what we should expect in case those regions had been alternately warm and cold. The presence, there- fore, of arctic and temperate, or sub-tropical animals in the recent deposits is proof of a recent alternation of climate from some cause, while their absence from the earlier forma- tions is evidence that no such alternations then occurred.
