They must also have⟳ absorbed the fixed air contained in the bowels of the sunk continent; and further, by this vast continental depression, whose derelinquished space was occupied by water, the level of the whole diluvial ocean must have⟳ been sunk, and the summits of the highest mountains must then have⟳ emerged In this state of things it is”
