Excerpt from The Geological Magazine, or Monthly Journal of Geology, Vol. 3: With Which Is Incorporated "the Geologist"; January December, 1866 But as sudden and rapid growth??? 1s seldom altogether!??? healthy, so the exuberance of vitality in the young science has ever and anon originated errors which have, at.
