The view, confidently upheld by Lalande, that spots were rocky elevations uncovered by the casual ebbing of a luminous ocean, the surrounding penumbræ representing shoals or sandbanks, had even less to recommend it than Derham's volcanic theory.

This torpid state of swallows is testified by innumerable evidences both of antient and modern names. Hist. c. 16. See also Derham's Phys. Hence their emigrations cannot depend on a necessary instinct, as the emigrations themselves are not necessary.
