Text Appearing Before Image:
MARINE MISCELLANEA. 251 distinct ramifications. The specimens from this place have evidently the structure of stalactites, which seem to have been formed in the sand." The tubular character of some of the examples of these and similar stalactite-like concretions collected, and their attribution to the passage of calcareous or ferruginous solutions through the sand masses of which they are fundamentally composed is further referred to at pages 621 and 622 of the same treatise. The photograph here reproduced depicts this peculiar strata under conditions more favourable for the illustration of its characteristic features than obtained at the epoch of its earlier observation. Sweer's Island, when visited by the writer in 1891, had a few years previously been the scene of a violent hurricane. The low sandstone cliff that forms the subject of the accompanying photograph, then taken, had been completely submerged and undermined by the abnormal waves, and was broken up into disrupted fragments that bore a by no means remote resemblance to masses of a Cyclopean growth of the Organ-pipe coral, Tuhipora nmsica.
Text Appearing After Image:
