In the Leven, in Lancashire, I saw current-markarranged in regular ridges at right angles to thecourse of the river and extending from bank tobank. The place was where the railway crossesthe tidal river on the way from Ulverston toWindermere. I was myself a passenger in the trainand unable to reach the sands, but I judged thewave-length of the current-mark to be about9 inches. I am not able to establish by observation thecontinuity between current-mark having a wave-length of about 9 inches or i foot, which is com-monly seen in clear, shallow streams, and thelarger sand-waves, which are generally unseenduring their growth owing to their situation or to. s#
