These cases of →close relationship in many species either now or formerly inhabiting the seas on the eastern and western shores of North

America,

→the Mediterranean and Japan, and the temperate lands of North America and Europe, are inexplicable on the theory of creation. We cannot

But we must return to our more immediate

Glacial

period.

I am convinced that

Forbess

view may be largely extended. In Europe we

the plainest evidence of the

period, from the western shores of Britain to the Oural range, and southward to the Pyrenees. We may
