2 V . If thefe effects proceed from local deluges., 
recedings of the fea, gulphs atterrated, &c. we fhould 
then indeed find marine remains : but how will that 
account for the vafi: quantity of remains of terreftrial 
vegetables and animals, equally met with, and in 
like manner as the marine remains, in the bowels of 
the earth ? And, 3 0 . Were local or partial deluges 
the caufe, we fhould then find only the animals and 
plants of the climates or places, where fuch deluges 
have happened ; whereas in thefe fofiile remains it 
is quite the contrary : the remains of thofe plants 
and animals, we know, are of animals and plants, 
the inhabitants of the mod remote climes from thofe, 
where they now lie buried ; e. g. the rhinoceros- 
bones, in the cave called Baumans-hole, in the Hartz 
Foreft in Germany ; the ftrange bones in the Antra 
Draconum in Hungary ; the horns of the moofe- 
deer, and other prodigious horns, and elephants bones, 
found in England, Ireland, Germany, Sibiria, and 
even America, &c. of vegetables, parts of the arbor 
triftis in France ; bamboo’s, or great Indian reeds, 
frequent in England ; with numbers of other fuch 
examples. And of thofe remains even of the marine 
fhells, yet unknown to us, all appear exotic to the 
climes where they now lie depofited 5 e.g. the cliffs at 
Harwich in Effex abound with a fpecies of buccinum 
heterojlrophum , and other fhells, never yet difcovered 
in the adjacent waters. The ammonitce of fo many 
fpecies , and the innumerable variety of conch £ 
anomice, with which this ifland abounds, are yet un- 
known to be inhabitants of our feas, and appear exotic 
to this climate. Therefore, my Lord, 1 real'onably 
conclude partial or local deluges could never have 
produced
