Excerpt from Proceedings of the Philosophical Society of Glasgow, 1871-1873, Vol. 8 With respect to the case of the worked flints and extinct quadrupeds of the Somme valley, 1 am not prepared to offer any theory from my own examination, and will therefore only refer to the late researches of Mr. Tylor (joan, Geol. Soc., He contends for the existence of a pluvial period, one of much rain, as having followed the glacial period, during which occasional floods of great height would occur, as they do now in certain parts of India, where a rise of 80 feet is not uncommon; and cases of transport occur even more surprising than those of the Morayshire floods, described by Sir T. D. Lauder. Mr. Tylor regards all the gravels as of one age, and to be very recent; not older than shortly before the dawn of history. It is, moreover, quite possible that changes in the relations of land and sea, and of river drainage, may have taken place at a very recent time, and yet be unrecorded. Even Julius Caesar passes without notice the volcanoes of central France, among which he was long encamped. No one would think of putting back to a time indefinitely remote the case of the canoes found within our city - some at 12 feet above the level of the highest tides; while it has even been contended that the last elevation of land all over the west of Scotland - giving as the 25 feet terrace on which most of our watering places are built - took place since the Roman period.
