Mr. Farey’s Notes on Mr. Bakewell’s Geology. 339 
[P.325] the stratified Animals and Vegetables, successively existed 
and became extinct, as the strata were successively Created, 
before the periods called days (but improperly so in our 
translation) commenced, and to which Creation of matter 
and of the now extinct organized races, only the very first 
words of Moses apply, see the articles Coa/ and Colliery in 
Dr. Rees’s Cyclopedia. 
327, 1. 6, in the upper strata*.—* In alluvium upon the 
strata, see my Notes on pages I6 and Is1. 
328, 1. 15, astronomy for the discovery *.—* Perhaps a more 
extended and minute application of Gravity and tidal ac- 
tion, than has yet been made, will solve many difficulties, 
as to the changes that the Earth has undergone, P. M. xxviii 
p. 128 and xxxix. p. 358 note, and my Note on p. 192. 
329, 1. 8, concretion of stony masses*.—* Is it not far more 
probable, that the meteoric stones have existed through 
many ages as satellitule of our Planet, and visit our At- 
mosphere at very short intervals, when in Perigeo, as 
Shooting Stars, see Mr. Nicholson’s Journal, vol. xxxiv. 
p. 298: the hypothesis that makes each one of them a se- 
parate volcanic Bomb from the Moon, seems a very lame 
and unphilosophical one. 
335, 1. 4 and 5, succession of different soils*.—* See P. M. 
xxxyv. p. 116. 
1. 6, extraordinary organic remains ¢.— ¢ P. M. xxxv.

1. 28, of fresh-water shells t+.—{ Query ?—see my Note 
on page 160. Mr. William Smith lately informed me, that 
in driving piles for a drainage Sluice on the sea shore at 
Minsmer § of Dunwich in Suffolk, the bottoms of them, 
below the Sand, entered a soft limestone Rock, which he 
stated, may very probably be part of the same stratum as 
that at West Cowes on the northern coast of the Isle of 
Wight, that has been supposed to contain the fresh-water 
shells, to which Mr. B. here alludes. 
336, |. 6, in the following order*.—* See P. M. xxxv. p. 140. 
1. 13 and 14, and Gypsum ¢.—t See my Note on page 
173.—The Paris Gypsum, &c. seems to have been traced 
through France, to the confines of Switzerland; and isolated 
hummocks of it to appear, far north-east of the Paris Basin, 
(as it is called) at Luneberg in Hanover, and at Segeberg 
and Kiel in Holstein, according to Dr. Steffens and M. De 
Luc. At Luneberg and at Oldérsboke near Segeberg, 
we Salt Springs arise, from this Gypsum stratum, I be- 
ieve.
