Abstract
It will, I think, be generally admitted that the most valid objection which has been advanced against the theory of the transportal of erratic boulders by floating ice, lies in the fact of their having not unfrequently been carried from a lower to a higher level. Mr. Hopkins, indeed, referring to certain boulders of a peculiar conglomerate described by Prof. Phillips, considers this fact as affording an absolute proof of the diluvial theory, since, he adds, “it is evident that no floating ice could possibly transport a boulder from the depths of the vale of Eden over the heights of Stainmoor.” Prof. Hitchcock has several times alluded to similar cases in North America as offering a very great difficulty.
