Abstract
Today, when the permanency of continents and of the Pacific is a favorite topic of scientific discussion, with the breakup of an ancient landmass into today’s continents (as proposed by Wegener) high on the agenda and even accepted by some as firmly established, the need for an accurate answer to the above question seems especially urgent — for the answers given are entirely irreconcilable, as is well known. There are researchers who categorically deny the occurrence of deep-sea deposits on today’s landmasses, as do Dacque, Deecke, Scrivenor, Soergel, Walther and others, and on the other hand, there are those who admit a not insignificant dispersion on today’s landmasses of such deposits, and thus a considerable importance for the problems of geogeny, as does this author and, with him, many others such as Andree, Cornelius, the two Heims, Hinde, Kober, Molengraaff, Neumayr, Nicholson, Parona, Suess, Staub, Uhlig, and Wahner.
