* See Ltell's " Elements of Geology," p. 300. 10 The desolations from igneous forces, whether let loose on the surface of the earth from the fiery mouths of volcanoes, or pent up in the interior, and made manifest in earthquakes, belong to the veriest commonplace of devastation, and need only this passing allusion. The waste of organic forms and of their life is exemplified in that group of phenomena, which Mr. DAJBWiN.has so well described as resulting from the struggle for existence. " We beh...old the face of nature," he says, " bright with gladness, and we often see superabimdance of food; we do not see, or we forget, that the birds which, are idly singing round us mostly live on insects or seeds, and are thus constantly destroying life; or we forget how largely these songsters, or their eggs, or their nestlings, are destroyed by birds and beasts of prey." He tells us how seedlings are destroyed in vast numbers by various enemies ; for once on a small piece of ground he found that out of 357 seedlings no less than 295 were destroyed.
