48 ページ - The new bank is not long in being visited by sea birds; salt plants take root upon it, and a soil begins to be formed : a cocoa-nut, or the drupe of a pandanus is thrown on shore ; land birds visit it and deposit the seeds of shrubs and trees ; every high tide, and still more every gale, adds something to the bank ; the form of an island is gradually assumed ; and last of all comes man to take possession.
49 ページ - that in the history of the earth there have been long periods of comparative repose, during which the deposition of sedimentary matter has gone on in regular continuity, and there have also been short periods of paroxysmal violence during which that continuity was broken.
