| Abstract/Notes | The graceful outlines, smooth curves, and flowing contours of the Chalk hills are well known to southern geologists; indeed these hills are the most marked feature of the south-east of England. Those who hold that their form has been given by the sea, point to the winding ridge, and say how like it is to many a coast with its succession of capes and coves; even so distinguished a writer as Sir C. Lyell remarking that “the geologist cannot fail to recognise in this view (of part of the South Downs) the exact likeness of a sea-cliff”. And truly it is so; but let us examine this likeness more closely, and it will be seen that the argument founded on it, plausible enough on the surface, is superficial only, and fails utterly when rigorously tested. |
