Abstract
THERE are few portions of the map of Europe more attractive to the eye of the geographer and the geologist than the coast of the northern Adriatic. On the one hand we have the coast of deposition, starting from the Apennine foothills north of Pesaro, and more and more emphasised in the swampy flats of Ravenna and Venice, until we reach the jungle-like woods of Monfalcone, Beyond this we come against steeply descending limestone hills, with a “karst” character-already manifest. The blue water at Trieste speaks of the coast of subsidence that stretches to the southeast, with chains of islands parallel with the tectonic features of the land.
