Extract

In the November Number of this Magazine (Vol. X. p. 481) the Rev. O. Fisher has called attention to the formation of the Fleet, Dorsetshire, and puts forward suggestions as to its formation in opposition to the sub-aerial denudation theory of Messrs. Bristow and Whitaker. To me the formations of the Fleet and Chesil Beach seem easily explained, as similar beaches are not uncommon on other parts of the English coast, and also on that of Ireland; but inland behind many of these banks the spaces that were formerly lagoons are now reclaimed land.
