its luxuriant growth of herbage, adds: ‘The formation of the sur- 
rounding country shows no high land or rocky hills from which a 
glacier might have been derived and then covered with débris from 
their sides. The continuity of the mossy surface showed that the 
ice must be quite destitute of motion, and the cirtumstances appeared 
to point to one conclusion, that there is here a ridge of solid ice 
rising several hundred feet above the sea and higher than any of the 
land about it and older (italics mine) than the Mammoth and fossil 
horse, this ice taking upon itself the functions of a regular stratified 
rock.” 
Tt appears to me that this recent evidence shakes to its foundation 
that memorable phrase of Cuvier (Discours sur les Révolutions de la 
Surface du Globe), based on the assumed proof of Adams’s Mammoth 
having been frozen up in the solid ice where found, suddenly and 
without warning. ‘Cette gelée éternelle n’occupait pas auparavant 
les lieux ou (les Mammouths) ils ont été saisis; car ils n’auraient pas 
pu vivre sous une pareille température. C’est donc le méme instant 
qui a fait périr les animaux, et qui a rendu glacial le pays qu’ils 
habitaient. Cet événement a été subit, instantané, sans aucune 
gradation,” etc. 
If Sir Henry Howorth is able to prove his postulate of the pre- 
Glacial or pre-Boulder Clay advent of the Mammoth, there is, 
undoubtedly, I think, unimpeachable testimony of its existence long 
after the great cold, and up to the close of the Quaternary period, 
which would thus justify the application of Geoffroy Saint Hilaire’s 
name of Dicyclotherium to the Mammoth, as the beast that had lived 
through two epochs.
