under the Himalayas as that of Scotland (Eire).
All the drag through Euro-Asia in the main
the trend lines are from the West to the East. In
general the movements are from the southern hemis-
phere to the northern one but there are also opposi-
te ones from the north. This conclusion is that the
north hemisphere a southern hemisphere has moved
north as is shown in the equatorial trending lines
especially of Europe between America.
Also
that there has been spreading of the oceanic mass
laterally forcing up the ends of the lands. It is
this secondary movement that has led back the
lines in the Lesser Antilles are in the eastern
and western ends of Tethys. To bring out these
conclusions once strongly he took a North Pole
projection and drew all Hoell the high land elements
are the trend lines. From this it was shown that
the 12 nuclei of the Northern Hemisphere are the off-
shore deep seated roots and that these masses
have long remained immobile. Against these have
been joined the lands for the south.
Pendulum swinging has now clearly shown
that the oceanic masses are from 3 to 4 percent less in
