The same phe- nomenon is observable on the elevated plain which is called the Tablada, where the tops of the hills appear like Egyptian oases, and whenc^ .^e sand is pouring down in enormous floods over the sugar- plantations of San Juan and Villa, in the valley of Eimac. ' On many parts of the shores of Scotlai*'"., sand- floods have converted tracts of great fertility into barren wastes ; and on the northern coast of Corn- wall an extensive district has been covered by drifted sand, which has become consolidated by the percolation of water holding iron in solution, and in some places forms ranges of low mounds, and hills forty feet high. From a memoir by Dr. Paris, in the transactions of the Royal Geological Society of Cornwall, we find that a sandstone occurs in various parts of the nor- thern coast of Cornwall, which affords a most instruc- tive example of a recent formation, since we here actually detect nature at work in converting loose sand into solid rock.
