“These new organisms, having a glutinous composition, held the animalculæ they came in contact⟳ with as they floated about, and gradually absorbed or digested them, thus sustaining their lives and enabling them to multiply⟳ by throwing off large numbers of small cells, which rapidly grew to maturity, propagated their species in the same manner, and when their power to do so was exhausted, like⟳ animalculæ, their dead bodies sank and became part of the formation going on in the sedimentaceous matter⟳ below.”
