Extract

In the last volume of the Geological Magazine the question concerning the origin of the Loess has been discussed by several authors in a minute and rather excited manner. Mr. Howorth has firstly expressed his opinion on that question in the Magazine for January and February, 1882, and he there combats the theory of the formation of the Loess as set forth by Baron Kichthofen (China, Bd. I., Berlin 1877). This distinguished geographer and geologist found himself compelled to explain and defend his theory in a detailed letter to the Editor of the Geological Magazine for July last, in which he enumerates and discusses the most important arguments of his theory.

Helix striata, which species at Westeregeln is most prevalent, occurs at present always on dry grassy slopes of loamy or sandy hills. Helix tenuilabris is found living on the woodless heights of the Swabian Alp, and Helix hispida I found abundant on the nettles of dry sandy hills far distant from any wood.Google Scholar
