The topography and geolog}' both imply that this offshore bar is built up of several 

 islands tied together. A very pretty problem for field study is here presented. 



A rounded cusp projects into the Baltic north of Wismar bay (Germ., 85). 



Markelsdorfer Huk on the northern end of Felimarn island is a foreland of ap- 

 parently this same general type of formation (Germ., 40).

Jaederens point on the Norwegian coast (Nor., 6, B) probably owes its projection 

 in part to current aggradation. 



The point del Faro on tlie northeast of Sicily shows action of tidal currents 

 combined with the large eddy of tlie T^yrrhene sea. The cusp does not grow at 

 right angles to tlie direction of the currents through the straits of Messina, but lies 

 between the Messina current and the Tyrrhene current (Ital. and Sicily, 254). 



North of Sousse there are tAvo solid cuspate forelands, covered with dunes, 

 which are apparently built by a progressive series of additions to the coast 

 (Tunis, 57).
