FORMATION OF CORAL.
Summary of Recent Studies of Ato1ls
by Prof. AEassix in the Vari-
Gus Oceans.

Prof Alexander Agassiz has sum-
married. his results based upon obser-
vations of barrier reefs and atolls coral
islands) carried On during the last %
years, for the proceedings of the Royal
society. He recognizes the fact that
Darwin's theory does not explain the
conditions now observed, but limits his
report to descriptions of the different
types of coral reefs and of their prob
able causes, without attempting to es-
tab,ish any independent theory.
He has found that the barrier reefs
of Fiji Hawaii and the West Indies are
undertake by volcanic rocks and usually
flank volcanic islands. Those of New
Caledonia, Australia, Florida. Honduras
and the Bahamas are undertake by out
liers of the adjoining land masses.
Some of the barrier reefs of the Society
Islands, Fiji and the Carolines show
that the wide, deep lagoons separating
them from the land mass were formed
by erosion from broad, fringing reef
fat.
Encircling reefs, as in the Society
islands, hold to their central island. or
islands, the same relation which bar
rier reef holds to the adjoining land
mass. Denu6ation and submarine ero-
sion accounts for the formation of plat
forms upon which coral and other lime
stone organisms may build either barri-
er or encircling reefs or even atolls
rising upon volcanic base.
We may trace plateaus that have been
elevated, like Guam. partly volcanic and
partly limestone, to atolls where only a
small islet or a larger island of either
limestone or volcanic rock is left to in
dictate its origin. Atolis may also be
formed upon the denuded rim of vol
canic crater, as at Totoya, in Fiji.
Many of the atolls in the Pacific are
merely shallow sinks formed by high
san6banks thrown up around central
area. Throughout the Pacific, the In
! dian ocean and the West Indies the most
positive evidence exists of moderate
/ recent elevation of the coral reefs.
Closed atolls can scarcely be said to
exist; Niau, in the Paumotus, is the
nearest approach to one, yet its shallow
lagoon is fed by the sea through its
porous ring The land area of an atoll
is relatively small compared with that
of the half-submerged reef flats In the
Marshall islands and the Maldiyes,
for example. the land areas are reduced
to minimum.
Atolls may arise from a platform of
suitable depth wherever and however it
may have been formed and whatever
| may be its geological structure. The
great coral reef regions are within the
| limits of the trades and monsoons and
| the areas of elevation, with the excep-
ton OF the Ellice and Marshall islands
and some of the Line islands Corals
have their fullest development on the
surface of reefs: they grow sparingly in
! lagoons where coraline algae grow
most luxuriously. American Geo
! graphical Bulletin.

Theory OF Evolution.

The theory of evolution is itself I'M
sergoing evolution. 1t was Darwin's
view that species result from slow
variations through long periods of time,
Int Hugo de Vries. Dutch naturalist,
has proven that new species may de-
relop suddenly. almost explosively.
with many failures he has succeeded in
observing the phenomenon in the
onagre biennial. This plant was stud
;e6 in the botanical garden of Amster-
dam from 1886 to 1900. and it yielded
one new species In 1887. two in 1888.
while in 1900 not less than 500 individ-
uaIs of seven new species were produced
in $4,000 plants from seeds. We may
kwell suppose that variations in plants
and enimals have been both sudden and
era6ual, evolution being q very COM
