357-South Massachusetts and Rhode Island, 359-Western
Massachusetts and Connecticut, 360-explanation of the di-
rection of the diversity of the diluvial current that passed over
New England, 363-State of New-York, 364-the action of
the rivers and the bursting of the lakes do not seem to be suf-
ficient to account for the diluvial accumulations and bowlders,
365 some impute diluvial phenomena to the original elevation.
of the strata, 366-two hypotheses about a change of absolute
level, 367-no evidence that whole continents have been raised
up in a slow and insensible manner, 370-any theory, to be
satisfactory, must include erratic bowlders, diluvium, diluvial
grooves and valleys, and diluvial elevations and depressions,
371-theory of icebergs not satisfactory, 373-argument from
examination of contents of caverns and fissures, f. s. vol. xi. 1
-in a cavern in Yorkshire, more than twenty species of ani-
mals made out from relics, 2-the deluges of geology and
Scripture agree in being comparatively recent, in being of
great extent, 4-the language of Scripture, 5-of commenta-
tors, 6-objections, 8-arguments against the identity of the
two deluges appear to preponderate, 9-objections derived
from geology, etc., against the truth of the Mosaic history of
the deluge considered, viz., it is thought that certain natural
processes now going on must have had an earlier date than
the Noachian deluge, 10-it was formerly urged that it is
mathematically impossible for the present oceans of the globe
to be raised so high as to cover its whole surface, 11-some
parts of the globe are said to exhibit no marks of diluvial agen-
cy, 12—the existence and preservation of the olive on Mount
Ararat have been urged as objections; change of climate at
the epoch of the geological deluge, etc., 13—another objection
is, that pairs of all the animals on the globe could not have
been preserved in the ark, 14-the present distribution of ani-
mals on the globe, etc.; many species, both of animals and
plants, are capable of enduring great varieties of climate, 16-
but the greater part of animals and plants are confined to par-
ticular districts on the globe, 17-the deluge may not have
been universal; a new creation of animals and plants may
have taken place subsequent to the deluge, 19—such an hypc-
thesis probable, 21-could any natural causes have produced

the deluge? some suppose the deluge was caused by the approximation of a comet to the earth; some by the sinking down of continents beneath the ocean, etc., 22-others impute it to the sudden elevation of the bottom of the ocean, etc., 23-summary of conclusions from the preceding discussion, 25.
