Sir Henry Pelly, K.C.B., Trinity House, London. J. F. Leathes, Esq., Herringfleet Hall. Robert Lee, Esq., M.D., London. F. H. Ramadge, Esq., M.D., London. W. Beattie, Esq., M.D., Hampstead. ERRATA AND ADDENDA. Page 43, line 10, instead of northward, _read_ eastward. {109} line 17, instead of southward, _read_ westward. Page 53. Observations in addition to line 20:—Wind blowing from the east produces these effects to a greater extent than from the north-east, and wind blowing from the south-east causes the sand on the sea-shore to be extremely loose and porous, while the north wind renders the sand firm, solid, and compact. Page 68, line 18, _read_ two hundred and ten, instead of one hundred and sixty. Page 71, line 15, _read_ from the north-west to the south-east. Page 85, line 17, _read_ hath instead of have. Plate the second (opposite p. 71, chap. x.), conveys only a slight idea of the Author’s plan, but illustrates the proposed elevation of the beach. FOOTNOTES. {5} The Author may probably, on a future occasion, communicate all the circumstances connected with the above, as they will afford an amusing, interesting, and instructive lesson, corroborating the testimony of the Poet, “From little causes great effects arise.” {11} See Goldsmith’s History of the Earth and Animated Nature, vol. 1, p. 146. {12a} See Goldsmith’s History of the Earth and Animated Nature, vol. 1, p. 146. {12b} Ibid. p. 149 {13a} Vide Goldsmith’s History of the Earth and Animated Nature, vol. 1, p. 149. {13b} Upon this coast the swells continue greater three days after the new and full moon than when the latter is in her meridian. {14a} See Carey’s Astronomy, p. 137. {14b} Ibid. {14c} Ibid. {15a} See Carey’s Astronomy, p. 137. {15b} Ibid. {16a} See Lyell’s Geology, vol. 2, p. 25. {16b} Ibid. {16c} See Goldsmith’s History of the Earth and Animated Nature, vol. 1, p. 150. {17} See Lyell’s Geology, vol. 2, p. 18. {19} Vide Goldsmith’s History of the Earth and Animated Nature, vol. 1, p. 151. {23} See Lyell’s Geology, vol. 2, p. 34. {24a} Treatise on Astronomy. {24b} Lyell’s Geology, vol. 2, p. 36. {25} See Lyell’s Geology, vol. 2, p. 24. {26} Rennell on Currents, p. 58. {28} See Lyell’s Geology, vol. 2, p. 37. {29} See Newton’s Optics, p. 163–167. {32} The tide flows along this coast from north to south, and ebbs south-east, but exhibits great variation in different places; thus in the Lynn Deeps the tide flows south and ebbs north-east. {33a} See Appendix. {33b} Ibid. {34a} See Appendix. {34b} Ibid. {34c} Ibid. {34d} Ibid. {34e} Ibid. {34f} Ibid. {34g} Ibid. {34h} Ibid. {35a} See Appendix. {35b} Ibid. {36} Stevenson on the Bed of the German Ocean or North Sea.—Ed.
