1. A Speculation, connecting the origin of Trap-Tuff, the cause of Earthquakes, and of Partial Changes of the Bed of the Ocean. Part II.

The author, having observed in Iceland some remarkable intermixtures of lava with volcanic tuff; and, more recently, on the coast of East Lothian, a somewhat similar intermixture of masses of greenstone in trap-tuff, conceived the idea that cavities existed underneath the crust of the earth, or deep...
