Extract

It was contended in a previous communication that all valleys have been formed by sub-aërial agencies alone, and that the disintegrated materials, being carried seaward by the rivers traversing them, have accumulated to immense thicknesses in what had been formerly a continuation of these valleys, and have, by their weight, caused progressive subsidence, and so have formed bays and to some extent deltas at and near their mouths.
