Abstract
MR. WALLACE, in his recent excellent work on “Island Life,” places me in a wrong relation to the question as to the continents having always been continents. After sustaining the view at length in Chapter VI. of his work, without any reference to my arguments on the subject, he later, in Chapter IX., says that “it appears to be the general opinion of geologists [sic] that the great continents have undergone a process of development from earlier to later times,” and then quotes a paragraph of mine by way of proof.
