But, upon. the Whole, the steady Wearing ef- fect of the ordinary sea-waves striking, or sweeping along, a shore-line exposed to inâ€"driving Winds is even greater,al- though being distributed over a com- paratively long interval of time', it at- tracts less attention. Some Statistics recently published show that on the eastern coast of England, between Flam- borough Head and Spurn Head,‘ along a distance of 30 to 40 miles, the beach has been retreating before the onslaught of the ocean, for the last 37 years, at the. average rate of nearly six feet a year.
