buried Landscapes.

One of the most curious results of
geological explorations, says the
Youths Companion, Is the discovery of
buried landscapes" by which is meant
parts of the former face OF the earth
now covered under later deposits, but
vet retaining so many of their original
features that the geologist can ideally
reconstruct the scenes that would have
been presented to the eye Of man II
he had been present among them
Sometimes buried landscapes exist in
countries now densely inhabited. Re
cent investigation has shown that one
lies beneath the region In England
known as Charwood Forest. The rocky
projections seen there are the peaks ana
arctcS OF buried mountain chain BE-
longing to the old red sandstone perl2d.
Several different phases IN the history
of this landscape have been traced.
At one time it contained salt lakes ana
desert expenses. In its modern form
il Is pastoral region, with barren,
stony tracts and rocky eminences
where the ancient mountains project
through the soil.
