Abstract
THE causes of landslips are in general so well known and the localities which are liable to them so clearly defined on geological principles that when on Monday, March 6, the public were startled by the news of a landslip at Sandgate, the probability would be that geologists who knew the district would be by no means surprised, more particularly as the locality of the catastrophe is in the midst of a typical section shown in many of the text-books, and the town itself gives its name to a subdivision of the Cretaceous rocks.
