Abstract
It is now about forty years since the completion of the late Sir Aubrey Strahan's Geological Survey Memoir on the Isle of Purbeck and Weymouth, published in 1898. All those who, like the present writer, have known the Dorset coast from boyhood and have carried Strahan's maps and memoir over most of the ground many times cannot have failed to learn from them lessons of incalculable value. They will have come to regard the memoir as a model of scientific method and of lucid presentation, a classic not to be questioned save in matters of palaeontology, now necessarily out of date.Keywords
