21. The geology of Egypt, as illustrated l)y Conipanyo 

 and Biiuerman, seems to be beautifully and comi>lete!y illus 

 trative of the oldest written Geological Itccord extant, the 

 Biblical. We demonstrate this. In Gen. chap, i., 1, 2, we 

 have the '* Archaean," or the granitic, syeuitic, t^tc, the 

 *' I'rimitive " of (Jonipanyo. Verse 3 is " Pre-Cambrian," 

 prccetUng the Trilubitic of Nos. 1 and. 2 of this series of 

 articles. Verse 9 introduces us to the Eocene Period, and 

 other following verses to the subsequent formations up to the 

 Cene, — the New. IJetwecn verses 3 and 9 we have the grand 

 *' Break in succession" of preceding No. 20. Vide Table. Wo 

 have thus local geology for general — part for the whole. Still 

 another aspect is this. It makes Egyptian Geology representa- 

 tive, as it seems to be, K/c/^^ conung Nos, of the gei.ilogy of 

 " Orhis Vtterihus Ncjfus," — the world known to. the Ancients. 

 In the record we have at least time re]>resented iilling up the 

 Geological Break, the so-called 'First' and 'Second' days. 

 We are now called upon to make a few observations " On 

 Time," — which we would call "Divine mea.surem(>nt." The 

 Record informs us that "in six days God made Heaven and 

 Earth, the sea and all that in them is." The same Pecord 

 tells us that they were all made in "One Day," Genesis chap, 

 ii., verse 4 : *' In the day that the Lord God made the earth 

 and heavens," — literally, in Jehovah Elohim's day of making,
