Coral AAallR

According to the investigations Of
Seurat among the Pacific islands. there
Is slow elevation going on there,
which, by lifting the reefs gradually
above the waves, preserves them from
erosion at the top, and enables vegeta-
ton and certain animal forms of q
terrestrial character to exist there.
This Is quite In opposition to OAR
wins idea that the atolls were formed
by the gradual submergence OF small
Islands, that the coral insects built ND
encircling reefs as the islands sank.
Seurat shows that the elevation of
the islands Is a general phenomenon,
but variable In amount, some islands,
like Aukena. In the Gambler archipela-
go, rising rapidly. and others very
slowly. The flora and the fauna
Of these islands are confined to very
Few species. although seen from a dis
