Extract

Of the immense value of the recent deep-sea soundings there can be no doubt, but whether geologists will side with Dr. Carpenter in the deductions he has attempted to draw from these explorations seems to me a matter of considerable doubt: and I propose to discuss here several difficulties that have occurred to myself on this head. I shall take as my text Dr. Carpenter's last exposition of his views in a letter to Nature of Oct. 27th.
