GULLIVER. — SHORELINE TOPOGRAPHY. 239 



The western side of Lewis island has a very jagged outline (Scot., 98, 104). 



Many fine examples occur on the west coast of Ireland. Particularly fine ones 

 are on Acliill head (62), southwest of the Bloody Foreland headland (9), Brandon 

 head (160, 171), and Bray head (182, 190). 



George island, Alaska, on the west side of Granite cove (C. S., 741). 



Point Colorado to cape Haro, Mexico (H. O., 640). 



Sixty per cent of the cliffs on the eastern third of the island of Elba (Elba). 



A portion of the Adriatic coast of Austria (Austr., 24, IX; 25, IX). 



Curzola island (Austr., 34, XVI). 



West coast of Brittany (Fr., 57). 



Many good examples in Sweden (Swe., 11, 23, 29, 32, 37, 41, 46, 52; 18, 24, 25, 

 32,41,51,61). 



And tiiere are numerous similar youthful cliffs elsewhere. 



Minutely Irregular Shoreline. — The minute irregularity of the shore- 

 line of certain regions is a feature to which field study should be directed. 

 As a working hypothesis may be offered the idea that these irregulari- 

 ties are due to minor differences in resistance in beds at the coast. The 

 irregularity in the cases given below does not appear to be due to alter- 

 nations in the resistance in successive strata.

(Denm., Hilderod). 



(Fr., 28, 29), irregular rocky ledges below high water.

Tiie east coast of Gotland (Swe., 23, 31). 



South of Warberg (Swe., 18). 



Gently Curved Cliffs (Adolescence). — Drakes Bay (Figure 21), Cali- 

 fornia, shows for about one half of its extent transportation alongshore. 

 Many of the cliffs retain youthful irregularities (C. S., 629). 



Captains bay, Unalashka island, Alaska (C. S., 821). 



Chirikof island, Alaska (C. S., 796). 



Similar conditions prevail on either side of Acapulco harbor, Lower California 

 (H. O., 872). 



Transportation is seen practically all along the shore from Chipequa point to 

 Ventosa bay, Mexico (H. 0., 876). 



The cliffs on seventy-five per cent of the central portion and fifty per cent of the 

 western portion of the island of Elba (Elba).

 59, 60, 115, 42, 64, 28, 26, 27, 92, 93). 



At many points along the east shore of the Cattegat (Swe., 4, 8, 13, 18). 



Straighter C'///fs (Maturity). — When the initial shoreline following 

 depression is all cut back by the sea, the cliff line of the depressed
