Geologists speak not of Seas, but of Lakes of fresh 
water, I believe, and which are sufficiently improba- 
ble, see P. M. xxxv. p. 134, and my note on page 182. 
181, ]. 21, in their present situations *.—* It has I hope 
been unintentional, that the true situation of the re- 
mains of large Quadrupeds near Paris, has, both here 
and at page 336 (No. 13), been omitted; although they 
are so expressly described, by M. Cuvier and his asso- 
ciates (see P. M. xxxv. p. 58), to be found in the most 
recent alluvium, and not in the stratified Clay beneath, 
as has in so many places here, been mistakingly repre- 
sented, with respect to similar Remains, found near 
London: see my Note on page 16. 
Sir Joseph Banks has very frequently mentioned to 
his friends, this idea (ascribed by Mr. B. to La Methe- 
rie), as to the Bones of large Quadrupeds, and Shells, 
supposed to be of fresh-water origin, found with them, 
having been drifted from the Land, by inundations ; 
and he has referred to the situations of the two most 
noted depositaries of them near London ; just helow 
the junctions of the Brent and of the Roding Valleys, 
with the larger one of the Thames, near to Brentford and 
to Barking, as presenting probable reasons for their 
accumulation in these particular spots, by eddies in the 
meeting currents. Soon after the period of these deposi- 
tions, 1t appears to me, that a comparatively quiescent 
state of the inundation recurred, and the alluvial depo- 
sit of loam or Brick-earth, so plentifully found upon 
the London Gravel, took place, and covered, and has 
preserved these Bones, &c. 
182, |. 4, of the great rivers *,—* But where do great Ri- 
vers, or Lakes supplied by them, deposit regular strata ? 
or any thing which can be mistaken for such strata, 
when examined with scientific attention ?
