On the basis of the fact that in Bohemia, great Britain and Northern America coming from nematomorpha seams open so far, contain only weak traces of organic life, sir R. Murchison concludes, they formed at a time when you haven't created any animals or plants or when they were created only a small amount; and because he klassificeret these layers under the rubric of 'azoic'. Meanwhile, from pages, emerged from under his pen, shows all the inconsistency of assumptions if in this period, organic life existed only in small size. The same traces of life, which has been found in longingly rocks, considered long time devoid of any fossils were discovered in some of the lower layers; whereas twenty thousand feet of strata, lying above these layers is still not given any fossil organic residue. If these upper layers, to a depth of four miles, are devoid of fossils, whereas the layers lying under them, indicate which began life, what becomes with the conclusion of sir R. Murchison? In Siluria on page 189 we find even a more significant fact. "Glengarrie Sandstone" and other related layers, the thickness of which, according to the author, extends up to 13 500 feet, not present no trace of contemporary organic life. Meanwhile sir R. Murchison refers them to the Devonian period, period, who had extensive and diverse marine fauna. How then can we the lack of fossil remains in the strata longlands and others corresponding to them, conclude that the Earth was 'azoic' during the formation of these layers? But we ask, perhaps, "why, if living organisms existed at the time, we do not find strata with fossil remains belonging to this age or another, more ancient?". It is possible to answer only one the non-existence of such layers is not more than as a negative fact - we have not found them. And taking into consideration how scarce our data even two-fifths of the earth's surface, currently above the level of the ocean, and how deep our ignorance about the three fifth-covered sea, we can hardly say positively that such layers do not exist. But our main objection is that these monuments the ancient history of the Earth has been mostly destroyed by the action of those forces, constantly seek the destruction of such monuments.
