Abstract
MY attention has been drawn to an article in NATURE, vol. xii. p. 93, on an exploring party of the Geological Class of the University of Edinburgh to trace out a long fault in Scotland. In this it is stated that particular attention was devoted by the party to the connection between dislocations and valleys, and they came to the conclusion that not a single main valley ran along the fault they were tracing out. As an advocate of the theory that faults or other breaks greatly induced the present features of the earth, perhaps you may allow me to say a few words on the subject.
