. The universal diffusion of diluvium then, we think must 
be, to every candid mind, conclusive evidence of an uni- 
versal deluge. And this opinion is confirmed by the oc- 
currence in almost every country of the bones of various 
extinct species of animals; such as the elephant, or mam~- 
moth, rhinoceros, bear, deer tiger, hyena, &c. Itis only 
in ea thet shesd se are found, and they are obviously 
the same species as those occurring in caves and fissures, 
and appear to have been destroyed by the same catastro- 
phe. The mammoth, or antediluvian elephant, especially, is 
found scattered almost every where, aad in some countries 
in immense quantities. ‘‘ There is not,” says Pallas, in all 
Asiatic Russia, from the Don to the extremity oi the prom- 
ontory of Tchutchis, a stream or river inthe banks of which 
«they do not find elephants and other animals now strangers 
to that climate. These are washed out by the violent floods 
os FAfising from the thaw of the snows, and have attracted uni- 
_ Versally the attention of the natives, who colleet annually 
- the elephants’ tusks to sell as ivory.” . Our readers will not 
- forget the remarkable instances of the hairy rhinoceros, 
found in the frozen grave) of Vilhoui, in 17713. ine the 
elephant in the ice of Tungusia, in 1800; both the fle 
skin in a perfect state of preservation 
If then the existence of diluvium clearly points us to an 
universal deluge, we think the animal remains found in that 
iluvinm evince as clearly that it must have been the same 
e that destroyed the animals i in the antediluvian ag
