In order that progress may be made in any branch of geology, it is necessary, not only that the faculties of observation and inductive reasoning should be employed, but a proper use should be made of the imagination. By this means new lines of research are laid out. The theory we set ourselves to prove may eventually prove to be wrong, but it often happens that the pursuit of a false theory brings one as near the truth as the following up of a true one. It is in this spirit I wish you to regard the problems and speculations to which I now invite your attention.
