Extract

The fossils of the volcanic Islands of the Atlantic Ocean, St. Helena, Madeira, Teneriffe, and Iceland, have a specialinterest, as giving dates relative to the supposed Atlantic Continent. The fossil land-shells of St. Helena and Madeira appear to belong to a period corresponding to the Crag-formation of England. The marine fossils of the Canaries, on the contrary, belong to a somewhat more ancient period.
