And we have now seen that Mr. Crolls conclusion that successive Glacial periods in the one hemisphere coincided with warmer periods in the opposite hemisphere, together with the admission of the slow modification of species, explains a multitude of facts in the distribution of the same and of the allied forms of life in all parts of the globe.

Sir C. Lyell in a striking passage has speculated, in language almost identical with mine, on the effects of great alternations of climate →on geographical distribution. ↑ I believe that the world has recently felt one of his great cycles of change; and that on this view, combined with modification through natural selection, a multitude of facts in the present distribution both of the same and of allied forms of life can be explained. The living waters →may be said to have flowed during
