Vol. 60.] LATER FORMATIONS SURROUNDING THE DARDANELLES. 27^> 



10. There have been considerable oscillations of the water-level in 



the Sea of Marmora since the advance of the Mediterranean 

 through the Dardanelles. A beach with recent Mediterranean 

 shells occurs at Hora, at 405 feet above sea-level, and there 

 are numerous shell-beds along the shore-lines of the Dardanelles 

 and the Sea of Marmora, up to 100 feet. 



11. Glacial or post-Glacial red clay, formed at the expense of the 

 surface-soil of a land-area, has been widely spread to a height 

 of 1000 feet, and contains scratched and striated boulders. 



Dr. J. 8. Flett has furnished a description, in Appendix I (p. 276), 

 of the more important rock-specimens ; and Appendices II & III 

 (pp. 277, 292) contain detailed accounts, by Mr. It. Bullen Newton 

 and Mr. K. Holland respectively, of the fossils which I have 

 collected. To each of these gentlemen I desire to tender my most 

 sincere thanks.
