but not to such extent and 1t is evident that
the wasting is taking place most quickly in an
upward direction. Now how are we to account
for the formation of these cavens?
Among the most common and powerful agents
causing the weathering of rocks rain, frost.
and wind. but at those levels in Corsica where
the rocks photographed occurred the climate is
comparatively dry and hot. There is little rain.
and practically no frost. 1t is clear that what
rain there is cannot to any extent gain access to
the interior Of these caverns, and the same re-
mark applies to the wind. In fact it was our
regular practice to make use OF these hollow
rocks as shelters In which to sit when out sketch
Ing and very welcome they were when wind and
rain assailed us. We often came a great
boulder, followed out with just side entrance,
which had been appropriated by shepherd and
made into convenient hut by building up part
OF the entrance with few stones. In the neigh
borhood of Calvi such rocks were in great de-
mand as pigsties little yard ward built round
the entrance and the piggies. like the conies
had their houses in the rocks" More than once
we met with cases where front of masonry had
been built onto large cavern. with windows
doors and all complete, and modern man had
again become cave dweller.
The formation of these hollows remained
puzzle to us until my suggested that the
cause might be sought for in a much less bolster
GUS agent than wind. rain frost. and that, in
fact, where these had failed to produce much inn
preston. the hard granite had succumbed to the
continued action of the gentle dew"
In following out this suggestion, the following

Corsica the is very hot during the day. and
the nights cold by contrast SO that much dew

the outer surface by dew rain although a
minute portion of their constituents may at first
be dissolved. yet as soon the wind dries

they were before. that eventually a hard crust

slow indeed But where small hole exists in
the rock the action is quicker. The inside of the
hole, and especially the upper part of It, Is
slightly screened from the and wind. the dew

quite little hollow cave is formed which
