Extract

THE purpose of this paper is to present briefly some conclusions drawn from a study of the longitudinal profiles of rivers in the south of England. In the view of the authors, the study of such profiles affords an important though neglected method of attack on the vexed problems of Pleistocene chronology, and it bids fair also to throw light on certain larger geophysical topics, and particularly on the theory of eustatic movements of sea-level.
