First edition of Ray's most comprehensive treatment of fossils. 'During much of the 1690s Ray was engaged in correspondence with Edward Lhwyd and others about the nature of fossils. In general he was inclined to accept that they were the remains of once-living creatures, and he also suggested that their current distribution might owe something to observable changes in the nature of the surface of the earth. He qualified these opinions, however, by stressing that the fossils which had so far been discovered were not unlike known plants and animals, and that their burial might owe something to the action of the biblical flood, as well as to natural effects. He argued that those remains which seemed to be unfamiliar might represent species of which the surviving representatives had not yet been discovered' (ONDB pages 1744-1745); Geoffrey Keynes, John Ray, pages 107-116; Dictionary Of Scientific Biography, Volume xi, pages 313-318; ESTC: R14542.
