On what grounds can our science dis...criminate among these extinct species, and fix on only a limited few of them that were made extinct by this event, and then arrange the others off on the percentage system, as if such a catastrophe had never happened? But in the utter absence of any such explanation as to how and when, and assuming in the very teeth of these facts a dead-level uniformitarianism, the presence of ten, fifty, or a hundred per cent of ex- tinct forms in a set of beds is manifestly of no sci- entific value in determining age.
