opinion that this communication must 
have been to the north of Mount Cau- 
casus, and that, at last, it was interrupted 
by the alluvial depositions of the Cuban, 
the Wolga, and the Don. 
Since ‘then, the Caspian no longer re- 
celves any rivers equivalent to the water 
carried off by evaporation, it has greatly 
sunk, and is now, at the present day, 
sixty ‘feet below the level of the Euxine. 
It is thus, that it has been separated 
from the sea of Aral, and left exposed 
the immense plains of sand, which lie to 
the north and east. 
M. Dureau de la Malle, ason of oneofthe 
members of the Institute, has discovered in 
the Greek and Roman writers, numerous 
testimonies of the former extent of the 
Caspian Sea, and of its communications 
with the Euxine and Aral, and has col- 
lected them in a Memoir, which he has 
presented to this class, and to that of 
Ancient Natural History. The ancients 
ascribed the separation of the two for- 
mer, and the great diminution of the 
Euxine itself, to a disruption of the 
Bosphorus, which they supposed was the 
cause of the flood of Deucalion, the 
Euxine being thrown with violence, by 
this opening, upon the Archipelago, and 
the shores of Greece. Some of them 
even imagined, that, at this epoch, the 
593 
Mediterranean, in consequence of being 
suddenly augmented by the same cause, 
had broken down the pillars of Hercules, 
and formed the strait, which now unites 
it with the ocean. 
But M. Olivier conceives that, if the 
Euxine had ever been more elevated 
than at present, it must have found a 
natural outlet by the plain of Nicea, and 
by other vallies which lead to the Pros 
pontis, and the Archipelago; that, in an 
other case, the narrow channel -of the 
Bosphorus, could not furnish sufficient 
water to inundate the lofty mountains of 
Greece, which are more elevated ae 
any other on the borders of the Euxine 
and still less to produce any cereouile 
effect upon the vast expanse of the Me- 
diterranean. 
He is therefore of opinion, that the 
relations of the ancients on this subject, 
originated neither from observation nor 
tradition, but merely in conjectures, 
which the physical state of the countries 
entirely overthrows. It is equally true, 
that the part ofthe Bosphorus, nearest to 
the Euxine Sea, exhibits traces of vol- 
canic revolutions, while the remaining 
part forms a natural valley. This holds 
equally true with regard to the Helles- 
pont.
