Appendix II., p. The occurrence of shells in this locality was not unknown to the natu ralists of Catania, but having been recognized by them as recent species, they were supposed to have been carried up from the sea-shore to fertilize the soil, and therefore disregarded. Their position is well known to many of the peasants of the country, by whom the fossils are called roba di diluvio.'

From the Back Cover
In this third and final volume, Charles Lyell (1797-1875) devotes much attention to the 'syntax of geology, ' that is, to a way of reconstructing the geological past on the basis of the 'grammar' of the present processes he has described in the earlier volumes. Martin J. S. Rudwick has compiled a bibliography giving full references for the sources Lyell cites in all three volumes of the Principles.
