Extract

The general structure and mode of growth of coral reefs and islands is well understood; but there is one attendant circumstance of considerable geological interest, to which, so far as I am aware, attention has never been called. This is the peculiar stratigraphic relation of the different strata in the reef to their chronological equivalents in the deposits of the surrounding ocean; a relation due to the comparatively rapid growth of the reef as a whole.
