Mr. Mackintosh (Vol. III., p. 69, and p. 155, of the Geol. Mag.) adduces the preservation of numerous terraces on the hill-sides in the Cretaceous districts of ‘Wilts. and Dorest,’ as “evidence of limited subaerial denudation since those terraces were formed,” for that they are “raised sea-beaches,” he says, admits of no doubt.
1 “This is well exemplified where a hill-side has been cultivated. Man, while he cultivated it, acted as the destroyer, and Rain only as a carvier to take away part of the soil that man had rooted up. If man ceases to cultivated that mountain side, Rain causes plants to grow,” &c. [Extract from MrKinahan's, G. H. Letter, Geol. Mag., Vol. III., No. 19, p. 46.—Edit.]Google Scholar
