(2) Both dolphins and dugongs occur in the Red Sea, porpoises and dolphins in the Mediterranean; so that the "Mosaic writer"may have been acquainted with them.

(3) I said nothing about "the greater number of schools of Greek philosophy," as Mr. Gladstone implies that I did, but expressly spoke of the "founders of Greek philosophy."(4) See Heinze, Die Lehre vom Logos, p. 9 et seq.
