This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER VI. FURTHER EXAMINATION OF THE QUESTION AS TO THE DISCORDANCE OP THE I ANCIENT AND MODERN CAUSES OF CHANGE. Proofs that the climate of the Northern Hemisphere was formerly hotter?Direct proofs from the organic remains of the Sicilian and Italian strata?Proofs from analogy derived from extinct Quadrupeds?Imbedding of animals in Icebergs? Siberian Mammoths (p. ]00.)?Evidence in regard to temperature,from the fossils of tertiary and secondary rocks (p. 108 )?From the Plants of the Coal formation? Noithern limit of these fossils?Whether such plants could endure the long continuance of an arctic night (p. 110.) Climate of the Northern Hemisphere formerly hotter.?That the climate of the Northern Hemisphere has undergone an important change, and that its mean annual temperature must once have resembled that now experienced within the tropics, was the opinion of some of the first naturalists who investigated the contents of the ancient strata. Their conjecture became more probable when the shells aud corals of the secondary rocks were more carefully examined; for these organic remains were found to be intimately connected by generic affinity with species now living in warmer latitudes. At a later period, many reptiles, such as turtles, tortoises, and large saurian animals, were discovered in European formations in great abundance; and they supplied new and powerful arguments, from analogy, in support of the doctrine, that the heat of the climate had been great when our secondary strata were deposited. Lastly, when the botanist turned his attention to the specific determination of fossil plants, the evidence acquired the fullest confirmation; for the flora of a country is peculiarly influenced by temperature: and the ancient vegetation of the earth might, more readily than...<
