PART I. INITIAL FORMS. 



1. The Geogkapiiic Cycle. 

 Systematic Sequence of Forms. — Succession on Land. — Succession on the 

 Coast. — Rising, raised ; sinking, sunken. — Areas of Elevation and Depres- 

 sion as mapped. — Algebraic Sum of Movements : Maine. — Cycle, Epicy- 

 cle, and Vibration : New Jersey ; Scandinavia. — Volcanic and Climatic 

 Accidents. — Geographic and Paleontologic Criteria. — Ideal Areas . 154-161 



2. Uniform Uplift. 

 Initial Stage of an ideal Area. — (1) Smooth Bottom. — (2) Simple new Shore- 

 line: Buenos Ayres. — (3) Smooth coastal Plain: Texas. — (4) Elevated 

 former Shoreline: San Clemente. — (5) Dissected Oldland. — Variations 

 from ideal Scheme. — Slow and rapid Movement. — Regional and Continen- 

 tal Uplift 161-166 



3. Uniform Depression. 



Initial Stage of an ideal Area. — (1) Uneven Bottom. — (2) Irregular new 

 Shoreline: Scandinavia.— (3) Dissected Land comparable with submerged 

 Topography : Austrian Coast. — Other Examples. — Variations . . 166-170 



4. Diverse Movements. 



Tilting: Position of Pivotal Axis. — Topography of Tilted Regions: Califor- 

 nia ; New England. — Warping : New Brunswick, N. J. — Santa Catalina 

 Depression. — Crumpling and Faulting 170-173
