To Alexander Agassiz 1 [June] 1881
Summary
Thanks AA for letter on coral reefs. "I used to think … that areas of elevation and of subsidence must – as a general rule be separated by a single great line of fissure, or rather of several".
Suggests that AA urge again his views on reappearance of old characters.
