THE .4GE or ROCKS.

At the first meeting Of the session Of
the Liverpool geological society, the re-
firing president, Mr.. T. Mellard Reade,
G.. E., delivered the annual address.
The subject was an interesting one, be-
ing a calculation Of the amount of solid
matter removed annually from the sur
face of England and Wales in solution
in rain or rather river water. The re-
suit of the calculations, which were Of
an elaborate nature, showed that it
would take 1890 years to remove in
this manner one foot in depth of solid
matter over the entire surface of Eng
land and Wales. This calculation was
compared with others. AS throwing
light upon the age of sedimentary de-
posts, the calculations, taken together
with the amount of matter annually
brought down in river water in suspcn-
sion in the form of mud, are extremely
interesting, and Mr.. Reade deduced
from them that the minimum amount Of
time which must have elapsed since the
first sedimentary rocks we know of were
laid down, is in round numbers 800 ,0O0,-
600 years, thus supporting the views of
Lyell, Hutton and other geologists as to
the immense age Of the world.
