12. That the continents, and even the islands, are found to possess a flora of species peculiarly their own. That whilst a considerable number of plants are common to the Northern regions of Asia, Europe, and America, where these continents almost unite, towards the south, where they widely diverge, the floras of these three great divisions of the globe differ very materially, even in the same parallels of latitude.

And that, upon the principle of distinct floral foci of creation, the whole earth has been divided, by botanists, into a certain number of botanical districts, differing from each other almost entirely in their specific vegetation.

14. That the stratified rocks afford sufficient evidence of having been formed in succession, horizontally and tranquilly by deposition from water, although, in many instances, bearing marks of the water having been gently undulated.' That they differ in many respects from the primary amorphous masses.*

And that the series of the strata is usually found to be con-
stant, "the order in which they succeed one another, when
present altogether, being never reversed."

15. That when the stratified masses are examined in their
order of superposition, they are frequently found to blend
with each other in mineralogical character. And when traced
continuously to any distance, in a horizontal direction, are
found to "thin out" and run into each other, with an almost
imperceptible line of junction.

16. That, with the exception of some of the inferior, the
stratified rocks contain innumerable vestiges of vegetable,
zoophytic, and animal existences, some of which are of gigantic
dimensions in comparison with recent equivalents.'

That there appear to have been successive creations in each
of these divisions of animal, vegetable, and zoophytic life.'
