This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ...of which are still visible beneath the water. 2. Rocks. Several rocks in the Baltic Sea which within historic time were at sea-level, or so little below it as to be dangerous to navigators, are now well above the water. One is said to have risen about 60 feet in 50 years. From an inscription supposed to be about 500 years old in Lake Maelar (near the Baltic), the land at that point is inferred to have risen about 13 feet in the 50 years preceding 1730. 3. Measurements. Changes of level were recognized long ago in Scandinavia, and they excited so much interest that marks were made on the shores at different places and kept under observation for a period of years in order to determine the rate of change of level between land and water. These observations showed that the coast was gradually becoming higher relative to the Baltic. In recent times it has been found that the larger part of the coast of Scandinavia is rising relative to sea-level, but that it is rising at unequal rates, and that the southern extremity is sinking. In some localities the rate of rise has been determined to be about 2J feet per century. 4. Organic remains; fossils. Another line of evidence pointing. to the rise of coasts is found in the shells, tests, etc., of marine animals found above sea-level. Thus barnacle shells are sometimes found above the surface of the water, attached to the rocks where they grew. There is no escape from the conclusion that the sea-level has sunk, or the land risen, to the extent of their height above sealevel. Beds of marine shells accumulated beneath the sea are also sometimes found above sea-level. Such shells are conclusive of the relative rise of the land, in case they are known to have been deposited by the sea-water. The evidence...
