Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of Geology, 1896, Vol. 4 Topography. - The most characteristic features of South African topography appear to be its table lands. The interior of the country is in great measure a vast extent of high plateaux - the Hooge Veldt - which, though grassy, are practically treeless and present much the same aridity and desolateness of aspect as many of our western mesas. Along the coast, especially on the south and east, is a belt of country of a generally lower level, which is more rugged and broken, but even here plateaux occur, sometimes on the very coast, as, for instance, the well - known Table Mountain near Capetown. As one leaves the coast to go into the interior the country becomes more mountainous, often rising into considerable ranges like the Drakensberg range, which runs parallel to the southeast coast and has peaks rising to elevations of 10,000 feet or more.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geological Magazine, or Monthly Journal of Geology, 1918, Vol. 5: With Which Is Incorporated the Geologist, Nos. 643 to 654; Decade Vi The primitive and ccnservative nature of the Holectypoida' among Irregular Echinoids has been so Often indicated, and indeed is so manifest, that it may be taken for granted without further argument. It follows from this that there are but two alternative possibilities for the lines of descent of all other Orders of the sub-class. Either they must have arisen from some Regular stock independently of the Holectypoida, in which case they need show no special resemblances to that group save under the influence of parallelism of development or else they must have descended directly or indirectly from Holectypoid ancestors. 'in the present paper a brief description of the peristomial characters of certain representative Irregular Echinoids is given, and an attempt is made to indicate the presence or absence of relationship to the Holectypoida shown by this fragment of evidence. The genera whose internal test-structure has been examined for this purpose are C'lypeaster, Echz'nooyamus, and Echin amchm'us among the Clypeastroida, qcleolz'tes and Trematopygus among the Nucleolitoida, Conulopsz's' among the ?cassiduloida, and Eol[znocorys, Me'omster, and Ecln'nocardz'um among the Spatangoida. In the case of the first and last mentioned Orders, the genera studied may be taken as fairly representative of the groups to which they belong; but the other 'two Orders (usually grouped together under the name here restricted to the latter) are very imperfectly illustrated. This is accounted for by the extreme difficulty of the preparation of the Jurassic forms and the virtual impossibility, under existing circumstances, of acquiring suitable material of the Casse'dulus Eclzz'nolampas series, which are almost unrepresented in the British fauna, both past and present.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geological Magazine, or Monthly Journal of Geology, Vol. 4: With Which Is Incorporated "the Geologist;" January-December, 1877 Elevation and Depression of Strata - The movements of the earth's crust are generally allowed to be due to the loss of heat from within it, whether by the wrinkling or the crushing of the crust on a con-3 tracting nucleus, or by any other means. But at the beginning of geologic time the temperature was much more elevated above that of its surrounding medium than at present, and consequently cooling or the loss of heat must have gone on more rapidly than at present, and from this follows a more rapid progress of those movements of upheaval and subsidence depending on this cooling. Thus elevation and depression of strata must have occurred with greater rapidity m the earlier than ln the later stages of our planet's history. Summary. -we have now shown that the decreasing energy of the sun and of the earth must have led to diminishing rapidity in the action Of three of the main factors of geologic change, viz. On the denudation, reproduction, and the elevation and depression of strata. In spite of all fluctuation resulting from more than usually rapid conversions of potential into kinetic energy, the loss of energy continually proceeds, and as continually is accompanied by a decrease in the rate of geologic change, just as certainly as the greater periodical activity in the solar radiation once every 112 years ives rise to exactly Opposite results.

We published in February, 1890, a portrait of Sir A. Geikie and a brief summary of his work up to that date, just prior to his election for the first time as President of the Geological Society. The addresses which he gave during the two years that he occupied the chair formed the nucleus Of perhaps his most important work, published in 1897 under the title of The Ancient Volcanoes of Great Britain, two volumes, beautifully printed and illustrated. In the same year he established the Summary of Progress Of the Geological Survey, an annual publication which gives an official record of the work done by this institution. He prefaced the first number with an account of the Origin and History of the Geological Survey and Museum, a subject which he had dealt with more personally in 1895 in his Memoir of Sir Andrew Crombie Ramsay. While still Director General he edited in 1899 a third volume of Hutton's Theory of the Earth, from the ms. That had long been in the possession of the Geological Society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of Geology: July August, 1898 From the greater depths to which the ocean bottoms have sunk, the presumption follows that in every great crustal read justment the major factor consisted of the descent of the ocean bottom or some part of it. Logically, as here stated, this is only a presumption which might be set aside by the assumption of a single or a few great depressions, while the other move ments might be upward or indifferent, but this will appear less tenable in the light of further considerations. Not only has there been increase in depth, but increase in capacity also. From a capacity essentially zero at the outset the basins have developed a capacity sufficient to hold nearly all the water of the globe. In the aggregate, therefore, the capaci ties of the ocean basins, as well as their depths, have been increased by crustal readjustment, and the presumption is that this has usually been the case in individual readjustments, although this does not rigorously follow. It will be sustained, however, by further considerations. The crustal readjustments here referred to are those resulting from internal causes. Exter nal readjustments work to precisely opposite ends, the degrada tion of the land and the filling of the basins. This opposing action strengthens the presumption that the internal causes have habitually increased the capacity of the basins, for they have grown more and more capacious in spite of this constantly opposing action. This constant filling in affords a presumption of frequently repeated increases of capacity; otherwise the land should have disappeared.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geological Magazine, or Monthly Journal of Geology, Vol. 3: January December, 1896 OR several years I have been engaged in investigating the Dinosaurs of North America, where these extinct reptiles were very abundant during the whole of Mesozoic time. The results of my study have been published from time to time, and I have already had the honour of presenting some of these to the British Association. In carrying out this investigation so as to include the whole group of Dinosaurs, wherever found, and bringing all under one system of classification, it has been necessary for me to study the remains discovered in Europe, and I have made several visits to this country for that purpose. In comparing the forms known from the two continents, certain important differences, as well as some marked resemblances between the two, have been observed, and placed on record. In concluding my investigations of the North American forms, I have fortunately been able to make restorations of the skeletons of quite a number of very complete type specimens, and this has proved a most instructive means of comparing those from different horizons, and of different groups, among the known Dinosauria of America. The success Of this plan rendered it very desirable to extend it, if possible, to the best-known forms of European Dinosaurs. This I have been enabled to do in a few instances, and the main object of the present paper is to lay these latest results before you.
