( 268 ) P- 1^7. I here depart from the opinion of a great friend, and a physi- 

 cist of great merit, in respect to the terrestrial distribution of heat. See, on the 

 cause of the hot springs of Leuck and Warmbrunn, Bischof, " Lehrbuch der che- 

 mischen und physikalischen Geologie," Bd. i. S. 127 133. 



( 2W ) p. 197'. See, on the subject of this passage discovered by Bureau de la 

 Malle, Kosmos, Bd. i. S. 231232 and 448, Anm. 79 (English edition, p. 211, 

 and Note 209). " Est autem," said St. Patricius, " et supra firmamentum cseli, 

 et subter terram, ignis atque aqua; et quae supra terram est aqua, coacta in 

 unum, appellationem marium ; quse vero infra, abyssorum suscepit ; ex quibus 

 ad generis humani usus' in terram velut siphones quidam emittuntur et scatn- 

 riunt. Ex iisdem quoque et thermae existunt quarum qua? ab igne absunt lon- 

 gius, provida boni Dei erga nos mente,frigidiores; quae vero proprius admodum, 

 ferventes fluunt. In quibusdam etiam locis et tepidae aquae reperiuntur, prout 

 nwjore ab igne intervallo sunt disjunctae." The words are thus in the collection, 

 " Acta Primorum Martyrum, Opera et Studio Theodorici Ruinart," ed. 2, Amste- 

 laedami, 1713, fol. p. 555. According to another account (A. S. Mazochii in 

 Vetus Marmoreum Sanctse Neapolitans Ecclesiae Kalendarium Commentarius, 

 vol. ii. Neap. 1744, 4to, p. 385), Patricius spoke to the following effect : "Nam 

 quas longius ab igne subterraneo absunt, Dei optimi providentia, frigidiores 

 erumpunt. At quae propiores igni sunt, ab eo fervefactae, intolerabile calore 

 prasditas promuntur foras. Sunt et alicubi tepidae, quippe non parum sed lon- 

 giuscule ab eo igne remotae. Atqui ille infernus ignis impiarum est animarum 

 carnificina ; non secus ac subterraneus frigidissimus gurges, in glaciei glebas 

 concretus, qui Tartarus nuncupatur." The Arabic name hammam el-Enf sig- 

 nifies " nose baths," and is taken, as Temple has before remarked, from the shape 

 of a neighbouring promontory, and not from any supposed particularly favourable 

 effects of the waters in maladies affecting the nose. The Arabic name has been 

 variously given: hammam 1'Enf or Lif, Ernmamelif (Peyssonel), la Mamelif
