Abstract
IN NATURE (vol. III, p. 332, 1923) attention was directed to the remarkable uniformity in height of the successive terraces bordering the rivers which open into the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. We now learn from Dr. E. Passemard (C.R., t. 183, p. 365, 1926) that this uniformity extends beyond these regions into the valley of the Euphrates, which opens through the Persian Gulf into the Indian Ocean.
