320 Notice and Review of the Reliquae Diluvianae. 
which in England are disseminated through the diluvial 
mud, are found in the same situation in Germany—viz. 
those of the bear, hyena, clephaneay pres o8: &c.: while 
the postdiluvian remains lie above this mud, except 
where they have been disturbed by Ballactars. ‘In these 
caves, also, the bear, and not the hyena, as in England, 
appears to have been the proprietor of such as were oc- 
cupied as dens: and as this animal does not feed on bones, 
the remains in their dens are not fractured and gnawed as 
in the Kirkdale cavern. : 
“ The facts | have enumerated,’ says the author, “in 
the above description, go to establish a perfect analogy, as 
far as relates to the loam and pebbles and stalagmitic in- 
crustations in the caves and fissures of Germany and Eng- 
land, and lead us to infer an identity in the time and man-, 
ner in which these earthy deposits were introduced, and” 
this identity is still further confirmed by the agreement in 
species of the animals whose remains we find enveloped | 
by them, both in caves and fissures, as well as in the superfi- | 
cial deposits of similar loam and pebbles on the surface of 
the adjacent countries ; viz. by the agreementof the animals _ 
of the English caves and fissures, not only with each ot 
but also with those of the diluvial gravel of England, and ¢ 4 
the greater part of Europe : and in the case of “the German 
caves, by the identity of the extinct bear, with that 
found in the diluvial gravel of Upper Austria; and of the 
extinct hyzna with that of the gravel of Canstadt, in the 
valley of Necker; at Horden, near Herzberg, in the 
Hartz ; at Eichstadt, in Bavaria; the Val d’Arno, in Italy; 
and Lawford, in Warwickshire. ‘To these may be added 
tbe ? Benes rhinoceros, elephant, and hippopotamus, which 
on to ravel beds as wellas — : ang 
= ail the animals in questigs was that a 
cedent to the formation of those superfic 
universal deposits of loam and gravel, whic 
possible to account for unless we aser oa tran 
sient deluge, affecting universally, 2 baat and at _ 
no very distant period, the entire surface of our planet.
