Extract

Some remarks recently made by Dr. Rastall in the Geological Magazine have drawn attention to a present need for objective study of valley sculpture in tropical rain-forest regions. Pending the collection of further data in difficult terrains like the Malay Peninsula and the Owen Stanley Range of New Guinea we have available some well-reasoned theories that have been offered in explanation of the peculiar forms assumed by most Hawaiian valleys—forms that are perhaps peculiar only when judged by cool-temperate standards.
