trital accumulation more or less resembling the 
original loess occurring in other parts of the 
world. The loess is a very fine loam, very homogeneous 
in character, showing hardly any indication of stratifica- 
tion, and containing in numerous localities large quan- 
tities of land and fresh-water shells, as well as bones of 
land-animals. In northern China it covers a vast area 
and is developed to a great thickness, and, being deeply 
eroded by the rivers, has given rise to a very remarkable 
topography. In the regions where the loess occurs it is 
the most recent of the formations. The theories of its 
origin are numerous, and the subject is one of great com- 
plexity, so that " some skilful geologists, peculiarly well 
acquainted with the physical geography of Europe, have 
styled the loess the most difficult geological problem." 
(Lyell.) Much that is called loess by some geologists is 
certainly river-mud deposited in the ordinary manner. 
Lyell connects the loess of the Rhine valley with glacial 
action; and Richthof en considers it as beyond dispute that 
the loess of China is a subaerial deposit, borne by the wind 
to its present resting-place.
