IV.—On a Cause of River Curves

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

In recent work on the laws of river-dynamics an important part has been taken by members of the Cotteswold Naturalists' Field Club. Dr. T. S. Ellis, in 1882, announced the suggestive fact that the course of all the eastern tributaries of the Severn between Berkeley and Tewkesbury was directed obliquely up the valley, a discovery which furnished the key to the relative ages of the Severn and the Thames.
