Scientific confirmations of Old Testament history . atastrophe which threatened all alike. Undersuch circumstances the ruminants would naturally fleefrom the plain to the higher hills, and when these wereisolated, as in this and the other cases I have named, whenever the waters rose above those hills, they weredrowned and their limbs dispersed in the manner Ihave before described. We have room for but one more illustration uponthis point. Near Palermo, upon the island of Sicily, there is an ossiferous breccia of a very remarkable andunique character, containing an enormous number ofhippopotamus bones, which are so fresh that they arecut into ornaments and polished, and when burnt giveout ammoniacal vapor. More than twenty tons ofbones were shipped from this one place for commercialpurposes in the first six months after their discovery.The bones were mostly those of hippopotami, with afew only of deer, ox, and elephant. They belong toanimals of all ages down to the foetus. The bones ofthe various animals were mixed together without order, . Mouth of the Cave of San Ciro, near Palermo.(Photograph by Frederick B. Wright.) Evidences of a Deluge in Europe. 267 and were broken, scattered, and dispersed in fragments, and none of them bore marks of gnawing. The cavernis at San Ciro, about two miles from Palermo, and isat the base of the remarkable amphitheater of hills sur-rounding the plain on all sides, except towards the sea.The hills are from two thousand to four thousand feetin height. The amphitheater is from two to four milesin diameter, and the elevation of the rock shelter isabout two hundred feet above the sea. The circumstances, therefore, which led to theseremarkable accumulations of the remains of the hippo-potami must have been extraordinary, and I see nohypothesis which meets the case, so well as the one thatI have suggested to account for the bones of mammaliain the rubble drift and in the ossiferous fissures, thoughthe local conditions in this case are peculiar
