page 206 note 2 Our positions were determined by compass bearings from the shore, and have no pretensions to precise accuracy. The section A–B and the south-eastern half of the section E–F are probably correct; but in the north-western half of the section E–F the angles of intersection were somewhat acute, and the positions of the soundings are therefore not so accurately fixed.

page 215 note 1 It may be noted that Mr. C. Davison's researches on earthquakes in Great Britain seem to indicate that even at the present time slips occasionally take place along faults which are, in their origin, of very ancient date.
