Quintan, a French pbyst- ologtst. wb<> several years ago wrote a pa|H-r to show that tbe colorless fluid in which tbe red corpuscles of our blood float and which is called tbe "blood serum" is tbe same fluid as tbat will h constituted the primeval sea. Tbe earliest forms of life which float ed in the primeval sea were such that tbe cells aud tissues of which they were constituted were always batbed by this primeval fluid. When silica became a constituent of tbe sea tbes« animals may have coated themselves with siliclous coverings, but many ol their cells were still baibed by tbe fluid, and some of them as tbey passed from tbe sea to tbe land may have closed up tbelr alimentary canals, so that a distinction arose between their internal organs and their outer super ficies. but still, for the good of their cells, they still batbed them in tbe sa.lne fluid. To do so more effectively they took tbe saline fluid ashore with them In the form of a blood serum, and it Is this blood serum which we carry about with us today, the most evident relic of the age when we were marine animals.
