| 50957 | And does the appearance of the action of fire upon their surface imply the intervention of intelligence? |
| 50957 | Are we to believe that these never existed; or that, having existed, they have been obliterated by subsequent denudations? |

| 47119 | ; Alpine{ Lands(? |
| 47119 | And how, we may ask, could the postulated geographical changes bring about the glaciation of the mountainous tracts on the Pacific sea- board? |
| 47119 | And if they did not sail eastwards, what became of them? |
| 47119 | And what about the second glacial epoch? |
| 47119 | And what evidence of such local glaciation might we now expect to find? |
| 47119 | And who will take his place in the Long Island? |
| 47119 | Are we then to suppose that all the lands within the Northern Hemisphere were extensively and contemporaneously upheaved? |
| 47119 | Are we to infer the former existence of an extremely lofty range of Bohemian Alps which has since vanished? |
| 47119 | Are we to suppose that once more the lands were greatly uplifted, and that convenient Isthmus of Panama was again depressed? |
| 47119 | Are we to suppose, then, that it flowed in from the south or south- west? |
| 47119 | Are we, then, prepared to admit that the close of the Ice Age coincided with the dawn of Egyptian civilisation? |
| 47119 | At what horizon, then, does this steppe- fauna make its appearance? |
| 47119 | But how could this be, seeing that the Criffel and Cumbrian erratics occur side by side in one and the same deposit? |
| 47119 | But putting that consideration aside, what evidence have we that the Isthmus of Panama was submerged during the glacial epoch? |
| 47119 | But why should this wind have propelled the floating- ice so far and no further in an easterly direction? |
| 47119 | Can a big ice- sheet push down the earth''s crust by its weight? |
| 47119 | Can the weight of a great ice- sheet shift the earth''s centre of gravity, and, if so, to what extent? |
| 47119 | Did the ice, as we might have supposed, come out of the mountain- valleys and overflow the low country? |
| 47119 | Did the last great ice- sheet reach as far south as its predecessor? |
| 47119 | Did the reader ever indulge in such a mountain- bath? |
| 47119 | Did these also come at a different time? |
| 47119 | Did they all melt away immediately when they came into the ice- laden current that flowed towards the south- east? |
| 47119 | Having learned that no truly abysmal rocks enter into the composition of our continents, of what kind of rocks, we may ask, are the islands composed? |
| 47119 | He speaks of cold and warm currents, but where do we find any traces of the marine organisms which must have abounded in those waters? |
| 47119 | How are these to be accounted for? |
| 47119 | How can this be done by the land- ice theory? |
| 47119 | How do the supporters of the"earth- movement hypothesis"explain this remarkable succession of climatic changes? |
| 47119 | How is it then, if the bottom beds be really of Silurian and the igneous rocks of Old Red Sandstone age, that a gap is said to exist between them? |
| 47119 | How is the existing distribution of land and water to be accounted for? |
| 47119 | How, then, can we explain the appearance of local glaciers in these latitudes during Mesozoic times? |
| 47119 | In what region under the sun does anything like that happen at the present day? |
| 47119 | Is it possible, then, to explain the climatic vicissitudes of the Pleistocene period by means of such oscillations? |
| 47119 | Now what do all these appearances mean? |
| 47119 | Now, I ask, is it possible to believe that a sheet of ice of that thickness actually pressed down the crust of the earth for not less than 3600 feet? |
| 47119 | These beds have yielded remains of elk(_ Cervus alces_), rhinoceros( species not determined), a small fox(? |
| 47119 | Upon what kind of surface did it fall? |
| 47119 | What are_ roches moutonnées_ but the rounded relics of what were formerly rough uneven tors, projecting bosses, and prominent rocks? |

| 47119 | What could have blocked its passage in that direction? |
| 47119 | What is the meaning of these intercalated glacial accumulations? |
| 47119 | What might not be expected to happen were the Gulf Stream to be excluded from northern regions? |
| 47119 | What now, let us ask, are the outstanding features of the coast- lines of the Atlantic Ocean? |
| 47119 | What was it that defined the southern limits of these northern boulders? |
| 47119 | What will archæologists say to this conclusion? |
| 47119 | What would result from such an unhappy change? |
| 47119 | What, in the first place, is greywacké? |
| 47119 | What, then, it may be asked, were the causes which allowed of the much broader distribution of species in former ages? |
| 47119 | Where are the raised sea- beaches which must have marked the retreat of the sea? |
| 47119 | Where did the warm wind come from? |
| 47119 | Where do we encounter any organic relics that might help us to map out the zones of shallow and deep water? |
| 47119 | Where does all this sand come from? |
| 47119 | Where, then, did the ice come from? |
| 47119 | Where, then, we are asked, is there any evidence in Palæozoic, Mesozoic, or Cainozoic strata of former widespread glacial conditions? |
| 47119 | Why are coast- lines in some regions extremely regular, while elsewhere they are much indented? |
| 47119 | Why does n''t he put his money in the savings- bank, and by- and- by die and leave it to those who come after him? |
| 47119 | With such a map could our meteorologists infer what the climatic conditions must have been? |
| 47119 | _ The Extent of Glaciation in Europe._ To what extent, then, let us ask, has Europe been glaciated? |
| 47119 | and does the crust rise again as the ice melts away? |
