seeing that it endured for

to me to me 1859 1860 | to me 1861 1866 |
probable that it was, during a part at least of the period, actually simultaneous throughout the world. Without some distinct evidence to the contrary, we may at least admit as probable that the glacial action was simultaneous on the eastern and western sides of North America, in the Cordillera under the
equator and equator and 1859 1860 | equatorial, 1861 1866 |

at the same time lower along certain broad belts of longitude. |

On this view of the whole world, or at least of broad longitudinal belts, having been simultaneously colder from pole to pole, much light can be thrown on the present distribution of identical and allied species. In
