Now, I ask, where is there, within the natural geographical limits of distribution of _Salmonidæ_, a discriminating power between the physical elements under which they live, which could have introduced these differences?--a discriminating power which, allotting to all certain characters, should have modified others to such an extent as to produce apparently different types under the same modification of the general plan of structure. Why should there be, at the same time, under the same circumstances, under the same geographical distribution, white fishes with the habits of trouts,--spawning like them in the fall, growing their young like them during winter,--if there were not an infinitely wise Supreme Power, if there were not a personal God, who, having first designed, created the universe, and modelled our solar system, called successively, at different epochs, such animals into existence under the different circumstances prevailing over various parts of the globe, as would suit best this general plan, according to which man was at last to be placed at the head of creation? Let us remember all this, and we have a voice uttering louder and louder the cry which the external world equally proclaims, that there is a Creator, an intelligent and wise Creator, an omnipotent Creator of all that exists, has existed, and shall exist. To come back to the _Salmonidæ_, I might say, that when properly studied, there is not a species in nature, there is not a system of organs in any given species, there is not a peculiarity in the details of each of these systems, which does not lead to the same general results, and which is not on that account equally worth our consideration. A minute distinction between species is again, above all, the foundation of our most extensive views of the whole, and of our most sublime generalizations. The species of _Salmonidæ_ call particularly our attention, from the minuteness of the characters upon which their distinction rests. Their number in the north of this continent (North America) is far greater than would be supposed from the mere investigation of those of the great lakes; but I shall, for the present, limit myself to these.--_Agassiz, Lake Superior_, p. 366. _Results of Observations made by the_ Rev. F. FALLOWS, _at the Cape of Good Hope, in the years 1829-30-31_. _Produced under the superintendence of_ G. B. AIRY, Esq., Astronomer Royal. This important work, containing the earliest fruits of the Cape Observatory; and, while the first, at the same time some of the most valuable contributions to Southern Astronomy,--has been received too late to allow us to do more than barely mention the titles in the present number.
