Extract

The south-western extremity of Asia Minor, opposite the Island of Cos and Rhodes, is noted for a remarkable promontory, extending nearly east and west towards the former island for a length of thirty-seven miles.

The promontory separates two gulfs, the northern one being the ancient Ceramicus Sinus, but now called the Grulf of Boudroum (from the Turkish town and castle of Boudroum, occupying the site of the celebrated city of Halicarnassus within it), and the Southern the Dorian Gulf.

page 355 note a The eastern half of Crete has had a similar subsidence since the historical period, whilst the western portion has been raised, and to the extent of twenty-five feet near its S.E. extremity, so that in the former part there are ruins submerged, as in Loseto and Datcha Bay, whilst in the western part of Crete ancient moles forming ports are raised above the present sea level.

page 363 note a On inquiring at the Naval Construction Department of the Admiralty I learn that this plan was introduced during the time of Sir William Symonds's directorship. But no plan exists with the name of the author of the invention or introduction, which makes my conjecture the more probable.
