Extract

My letter in the March Number of the Geological Magazine, asking for a description of the “Herschel-Babbage” theory of Mountain formation, appears to have called forth Mr. Davison's “Note on the Expansion Theory of Mountain Evolution,” in which he favours us with his definition of the “fundamental principle of the theory of terrestrial evolution which has sometimes been called the ‘expansion theory.’”

page 272 note 2 It is unnecessary for me to criticize this “fundamental” definition further than to disclaim it as an adequate statement of my own theory. For an outline of this I must refer those interested to the forthcoming June number of the Philosophical Magazine.
