It must be admitted on all sides that to this transference of effort has been due the great advance which geology has made in the period which has since elapsed. The question may now be asked, however, whether the accumulation of geologic data and the replacement of the crude maps of the earlier period by the accurate modern topographic map do not warrant a return, if not to the methods of de Beaumont, at least to a new and entirely different study of the orientation of surface features.
