A VISIT TO EECULVEE, IN KENT. 



Bt Geoege D. Gibb,M.D.,M.A.,E.G.S. 



Those who are familiar with Sir Charles Lyell's ' Principles of 

 Geology ' will remember the illustrations given, in the twentieth 

 chapter of his able and most philosophical book, of the action of the 

 sea on various parts of the coasts of Britain. The changes that have 

 taken place in some parts, even within the historical period, have been 

 very considerable, and perhaps none more so than on the eastern 

 and south-eastern coasts of England, where the encroachments of the 

 sea seem to have been of the most destructive character. From the 

 western coast of the Isle of Sheppey, extending eastwards to Herne 

 Bay, Eeculver, and Thanet, the destructive action of both the sea 

 and the other elements has been witnessed by many in our own time ; 

 and every year tells its history of a change in some part of this line 

 of coast. 



I had long contemplated a visit to Eeculver, and in the month of 

 June last tlie opportunity of seeing this part of the coast was afforded 

 me. No place is more accessible from Loudon than Herne Bay ; 

 the visitor has the opportunity of running down either by steamer 

 from London Bridge, or by the London, Chatham, and Dover Eail- 

 way from either the London Bridge or Victoria stations. If time is 

 an object, the latter is preferable, and it was the route I chose, which 

 enabled me to see and learn all that I desired in a single day.
