page 190 note 1 As I stated (Geological Magazine, May, 1867, p. 2), the cause of every alluvium in the wide wide world is the stoppage of the lowering of the bed of the valley. The sea stops the lowering ofthe bed ofevery valley. Therefore the end of every valley next the sea is flat and alluvial.

page 191 note 1 This is what Mr. Mackintosh has called Colonel Greenwood's “Hard gorge and soft valley theory.”
