 Earth or Tchernazem of those districts. Little has 

 been recorded of the surface drifts in the Turkish 

 territories, but what has been observed establishes 

 the existence of Drift-beds generally and of a Raised 

 Beach on the shores of the Bosphorus. 



The rubble beds are largely developed in Greece, 

 and are in places occasionally ossiferous. An angular

rubble forms great sheets extending from the inland 

 hills to the shore, where it is worn back into cliffs thirty 

 to forty feet high, whilst the present torrents have cut 

 through, and carry down the rubble debris, spreading 

 it out on the coast in the form of cones of dejection, 

 that are often re- cemented like the older breccia 

 from which it is derived. At Mount Taygetus it 

 rises on its slopes to the height of 150 feet or 

 more. This Drift in the Morea is identical in many 

 of its features with that of the South of England, and 

 is I believe contemporaneous with it. 



On the south coast of the Morea lies the island of 

 Cerigo. At a short distance from the shore is a flat-
