It does not seem probable that the most ancient beds have been quite worn away by denudation, or that their fossils have been wholly obliterated by metamorphic action, for if this had been the case we should have found only small remnants of the formations next succeeding them in age, and these would always have existed in a partially metamorphosed condition.

Det synes icke sannolikt att de äldsta lagren skulle blifvit fullständigt afnötta genom denudation, eller att deras fossilier skulle blifvit fullkomligt tillintetgjorda genom metamorfosering, ty om detta hade varit fallet, skulle vi hafva funnit blott små spår af formationerna som följde närmast efter dem i tiden, och dessa skulle alltid hafva existerat i delvis metamorfoseradt tillstånd.
