Extract

The August number of the Quaterly Journal of the Geological Society contains a paper on this subject by Dr. J. W. Spencer, who believes that the rocks which were described by us under the head of ‘Raised Coral Reefs’ do not form one continuous succession of Pleistocene reef-rocks, but consist of several different limestone formations. He thinks that there are three such formations, and that each is separated from the other by a break or unconformity.
