Mention some of the proofs of an Elevatory movement.

To this latter belief I am led, by finding that channels are almost universally present within the fringing-reefs of those islands which have undergone recent Elevatory movements; and this could hardly have been the case, if the conversion of the very shallow channel into land had not been counteracted to a certain extent.

As this filling up must take place very slowly within barrier-reefs lying far from the land, and within atolls which are of large dimensions and which have open lagoons with very few reefs, we are led to conclude that the subsidence thus counter-balanced, must have been slow in an extraordinary degree; a conclusion which accords with our only means, namely, with what is known of the rate and manner of recent Elevatory movements, of judging by analogy what is the probable rate of subsidence.
