III.—The Submergence of the British Isles during the Glacial Period
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
The question of the submergence of the British Isles during, at least, one stage of the Glacial period, is deserving of careful consideration by geologists. Until the visit of the late lamented Prof. Carvill Lewis to this country, no one, as far as I am aware, questioned the view that the British Isles have been submerged to a depth, in some places, amounting to 1300 or 1400 feet—this being the level at which shell-beds are found in some parts of England, Wales, Ireland.
