“In view⟳ of the above considerations, it seems reasonable, in endeavoring to find⟳ a line of demarcation, as indicated by fossil remains, somewhere in the gravel and volcanic series, to inquire what is positively known to have⟳ been found in strata lying undisturbed under the basalt; or, at least, so far down in the volcanic formations as to preclude any possibility that the object in question⟳ could have⟳ found its way down from a superficial deposit⟳ of postvolcanic age.”

“The Tertiary deposits would greatly facilitate the recognition of any such faults of considerable throw⟳, and I think⟳ the probability very slight that the slopes shown in the sections are to any noticeable degree influenced by such postvolcanic disturbances.”
