It has been calculated, to account for the last submergence of the northern 

 hemisphere during the Champlain Epoch. The submergence of the south- 

 ern polar lands is now in progress. 



Should the connection of " the glacial period" — and of other glacial pe- 

 riods more ancient — with cosmical conditions, be satisfactorily established, 

 it seems to me that we are here furnished with a hopeful means of giving 

 greater precision to the calculus of geological time. 



For detailed information on these questions, see Croll, Philosophical 

 Magazine for August, 1.861, and February, 1867; Transactions Geol. Soc, 

 Glasgow, April, 1867 ; Revue des deux Mondes, 1817, etc.

 As the records of the flowing wells of Oil Springs constitute one of the 

 most remarkable chapters of the history of Petroleum, I append here a 

 list of them, made from personal examination and research. In this list, 

 "Sub." stands for subdivision, "R."for range, "L."for lot, and "Con." 

 for concession.
