page 52 note 1 In Scepticism in Geology (pp. 44–5), William Longman suggested that “the Chalk escarpments may have been parted asunder like the sinews of a shoulder of mutton on the application of a knife”; and SirHoworth, Henry in Ice or Water, vol. i, p. 525Google Scholar, holds that the Chalk beds were dragged apart over the softer under-lying strata for a distance of 25 miles. To my mind such an extended movement of the Chalk seems unlikely.
