CORAL AND ATOLLS 
A History and Description of the Keeling-Cocos 
Islands, with an Account of their Fauna and Flora, 
and a Discussion of the Method of Development and 
Transformation of Coral Structures in General 
By F. WOOD-JONES, D.Sc., F.Z.S. 
PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED WITH PHOTO 
REPRODUCTIONS, &c. 
“Darwin gave us the theory of subsidence, Sir John Murray 
that of solution, the last and, we are inclined to think, the win- 
ning one is Wood-Jones’ sedimentation theory of coral reefs. 
Mr. Wood-Jones sought for himself the best opportunities, he 
made excellent use of them, and this book forms a valuable and 
interesting record of his observations and views.” —Times. 
** A series of valuable studies . . . the theory is most ingeni- 
ously elaborated. Does a point need attention he takes us at 
once to the waters and shows us just what processes of nature 
are now operative. It is a most attractive method and should 
lead to a better comprehension of this great factor in land 
formation.”’—Bulletin of the American Geographical 
Society. 
“Remarkable both for its human and scientific interest, fresh 
with the magic and mystery of the sea and that Southern Main 
which Stevenson loved.” —Daily Mail.
