Overview

Excerpt from Proceedings of the Geologists' Association, 1879-1880, Vol. 6 There can be no more doubt in Lower Boulonnais than in the Weald of Kent, that the Chalk and the underlying Cretaceous formations originally extended across all the area. This vast mass of sediment, many hundreds of feet thick, has been swept away by the combined wasting power of the Tertiary seas and atmospheric agencies. The denudation of the Weald, and, consequently, of Lower Boulonnais, where the same agencies were at work, has given rise to such theorising by distinguished authors that it would be useless to add anything. I have already given, in 1876, a general account' of the views of Martin, Hopkins, Lyell, 8. Wood, godwin-austen, Prestwich, Whitaker, Ramsay, and Topley on the subject, and added some supplementary personal observations.
