Abstract
ERRONEOUS impressions have long existed among American geologists with regard to the relations to one another, and to Cambrian and Silurian geology, of Sedgwick and Murchison. The Taconic controversy in this country served, most unreasonably, to intensify feelings respecting these British fellow-workers in geology, and draw out harsh judgments. Now that right views on the American question have been reached, it is desirable that the facts connected with the British question should be understood and justly appreciated.
