320 Notice and Review of the Reliquiae Diluvianae. 
which in England are disseminated through the diluvial 
mud, are found in the same situation in Germany —viz. 
those of the bear, hyena, elephant, rhinoceros, &c.: while 
the postdiluvian remains lie above this mud, except 
where they have been disturbed by collectors. In these 
caves, also, the bear, and not the hywna, as in England, 
appears to have been the proprietor of such as were oc- 
cupied as dens: and as this animal does not feed on bones, 
the remains in their dens are not fractured and gnawed as 
in the Kirkdale cavern. 
“The facts | have enumerated,”’ says the snthan “in 
the above description, go to establish a periect analogy, as 
far as relates to the loam and pebbles and stalagmitic in- 
crustations in the caves and fissures of Germany and Eng- 
_ land, and lead us to infer an identity in the time and man- 
ner a which these earthy deposits were introduced, and 
this identity is still further contirmed by the agreement in 
species of the animals whose remains we find enveloped 
by them, both in caves and fissures, as well as in the superfi- 
cial deposits of similar loam and pebbles on the surface of 
the adjacent countries ; viz. by the agreementof the animals 
of the English caves wad fissures, not only with each other, 
but also with those of the diluvial gravel of England, and of 
the greater part of Europe: and in the case of the German 
caves, by the identity of the extinct bear, with that 
found in the diluvial gravel of Upper Austria; and of the 
extinct hyena with that of the gravel of Canstadt, in the 
valley of Necker; at Horden, near Herzberg, in the 
Hartz ; at Eichstadt, in Bavaria; the Val d’Arno, in Italy; 
and Lawford, in Warwickshire. ‘To these may be added 
the extinct rhinoceros, elephant, and hippopotamus, which 
are common to gravel beds as well as caves; and hence it 
follows, that the period at which the earth was inhabited 
by all the animals in question was that immediately ante- 
cedent to the formation of those superficial and almost 
universal deposits of loam and gravel, which it seems im- 
possible to account for unless we ascribe them toa _ tran- 
sient deluge, affecting universally, simultaneously, and at 
no very distant period, the entire surface of our planet.”’

in two of the German caves were found the remains of 
the human species; but they occur under such circumstan-
