In the article on Terraces in your last number, Mr. G. Poulett Scrope evidently did not intend writing in a style that would bear being minutely criticized, or he was not sufficiently particular in quoting from my work and representing my present views. As it stands, a reader of Mr. Scrope's article would receive impressions very different from those which a perusal of my chapter on Raised Beaches and Inland Terraces would leave on his mind. Such being the case, I am sure Mr. Scrope will pardon me if I make a few remarks in self-vindication.
