Note 39 — Chapter IV

Journal of Geological Society, May, 1886. Blandford's statements respecting the mechanical deposits of the close of the Palæozoic in the Indian Ocean, whether these are glacial or not, would seem to show a correspondence with the Permian conglomerates and earth-movements of the Atlantic area; but since that time the Atlantic has enjoyed comparative repose. The Pacific seems to have reproduced the conditions of the Carboniferous in the Cretaceous age, and seems to have been less affected by the great changes of the Pleistocene.
