A VISIT TO EECTJLYEE, IN KENT. 
By 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, Beculver, 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 the opportunity of seeing this part of the coast was afforded 
me. No place is more accessible from London than Herne Bay ; 
the visitor has the opportunity of running down either by steamer 
from London Bridge, or by the London, Chatham, and Dover Bail- 
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.
