A VISIT TO EECTJLYEE, IN KENT. By Geoege D. Gibb, M.D., M.A.,E.G.S. Those who are familiar with Sir Charles Lyell's 'Principles of Geology ' will remember the illustrations given, in the twentieth chapter of his able and most philosophical book, of the action of the sea on various parts of the coasts of Britain. The changes that have taken place in some parts, even within the historical period, have been very considerable, and perhaps none more so than on the eastern and south-eastern coasts of England, where the encroachments of the sea seem to have been of the most destructive character. From the western coast of the Isle of Sheppey, extending eastwards to Herne Bay, Beculver, and Thanet, the destructive action of both the sea and the other elements has been witnessed by many in our own time ; and every year tells its history of a change in some part of this line of coast. I had long contemplated a visit to Eeculver, and in the month of June last the opportunity of seeing this part of the coast was afforded me. No place is more accessible from London than Herne Bay ; the visitor has the opportunity of running down either by steamer from London Bridge, or by the London, Chatham, and Dover Bail- way from either the London Bridge or Victoria stations. If time is an object, the latter is preferable, and it was the route I chose, which enabled me to see and learn all that I desired in a single day.
