. • Jerome Car- dan appears to have held this view. *^For,^^ says he, *^ if not only the small animals arise from putrefaction, but also the greatest, we can affirm the same of all the mice and rats, and of the fishes, which rise by chance in the new waters.* — Good reasoning of Cardan! A mouse may rise from putrefaction, therefore, man can also rise from this. — This is a supposition on his part. When putrefaction has formed itself, the fat part separates itself from the dust, and rightaway th...e heat gives a proper soul to this mat- ter. — Are these heaps of filth and slime wanting to-day? Why do we not see an ox or a horse going forth from them? — However, we have to tell that Diodor of Sicily reports that in a certain place of the Nile, where the river overflows and forms a mud bed, animals of an extraordinary size go forth from it, as soon as it is heated by the rays of the sun. — I cannot subscribe to this lie. — Others have dreamed that the first man arose from the putrefaction of several corpses of apes, of porks and of frogs, for between the flesh and the habits of these animals and those of men, there is a great resemblance.
