To me the Nailor Ledge is a reef, or
at least a firm deposit. Such a
deposit could not originate in mere care,
besides sea cars are rare lay on a hundred
career than
or at least a few hundred feet by me at most
a few tens of feet deep. The abundance of
Crepidoron shows it to be a reef rock.
It is the most curious fall of which peculiar
imagination, but a good demonstration
that in that which has been accused of
namely "that he takes the most difficult mind to
explain an obvious fact." In this case he is
misled by the cited Cephalopod. Either it is not
the species he thinks it is, or it has a larger
range than he believes.
