Extract

The Tablazos or Quaternary raised beach deposits of the West Coast of South America have attracted attention for a considerable time, as evidence of recent changes in sea-level. Early accounts of those occurring on the more southerly portion of the Continent are given by d'Orbigny in his Voyage dans l'Amérique méridionale and by Charles Darwin in his Observations on the Geology of South America. The Tablazos of Peru received considerable attention in Dr. Bosworth's work (1) and a brief sketch of the fauna was given.
