On the other hand extreme reluctance was naturally felt on the part of scientific reasoners to admit the validity of such evidence, seeing that so many caves have been inhabited by a succession of tenants and have been selected by Man as a place not only of domicile, but of sepulture, while some caves have also served as the channels through which the waters of occasional land-floods or engulfed rivers have flowed, so that the remains of living beings which have peopled the district at more than one era may have subsequently been mingled in such caverns and confounded together in one and the same deposit.
Lava-currents have also flowed upon the land and along the bottom of the sea volcanic sand, pumice, and scoriae have been showered down so abundantly that whole cities were buried- tracts of the sea have been filled up or converted into shoals and tufaceous sediment has been transported by rivers and land-floods to the sea.
