In many ways the most impressive feature of Monterey and adjacent canyons is their dendritic and trellis drainage pattern (Fig. 7), showing structural trends that are similar to those on the land. The Mediterranean canyons along the south coast of France and the west coast of Corsica are certainly the best known outside of those from western
