Abstract
THE speeds of the currents employed in the elutriation process in sorting diversely sized material bear no relation whatever to the speeds of the currents, which are competent to transport the same material. The elutriation process in no way imitates the natural processes whereby sediments are transported, sorted, and deposited. The determination of competent velocities in relation to size of material transported is quite a distinct investigation, and one which still calls for much study in spite of the time and attention given to it by numerous workers.Keywords
