COSMICAL GEOLOGY. I/I 



Hhe inner planets were in existence before the sun, Faye 

 supposes that the first traces of organic life on the earth 

 originated under the diffuse light of the still unconsolidated 

 sun, that a uniform climate reigned over the whole earth 

 during the Primary epochs, and that consequently the distri- 

 bution of plant and animal life cannot, as is frequently stated, 

 have proceeded from the Poles.
