EXPLANATION OF TABLE II. 



Pages 89, 91, 93 & 95. 



This table is in a descending order. The recent (No. 1) which I have 

 added, is the uppermost and is of course placed at the top of the table — 

 this is called by some Alluvium. 



Mr. Lyell makes only two divisions in the older or Primitive Rocks, the 

 stratified and the unstratified, but Granite is considered the lowest, see 

 page 95.
