In a paper recently read before the Geological Society, Mr. Dawkins has re-stated his views concerning the climate of the Pleistocene period, and has replied to certain objections to his theory brought forward by myself in former numbers of this Magazine. After carefully reading the paper referred to, I find no reason io alter or modify what I have written upon this question. Mr. Dawkins has unfortunately missed the point of my objections; and my argument, as it seems to me, remains unanswered. But as that gentleman has introduced some new matter into his own argument, I shall endeavour as briefly as may be to review his position.

page 50 note 1 The greatest depth, between Greece and Candia indicated upon the Admiralty Chart of the Mediterranean is only 300 fathoms. But the actual depth may be more, as the bottom was not reached by the sounding-line.
page 50 note 2 It must be understood that the Admiralty soundings are not continuous between these islands any more than they are between Cape Malea (Morea) and Cape Spada (Candia).
