Description:Excerpt from The American Geologist, Vol. 22 It would be unwise to extend the results of this study so far as to make the generalization that all cuspate forelands are derived by means similar to this; but before assuming that they are not so formed it seems that we should have distinct evidence that they are not. Is there any place where the peculiar eddying of tidal currents is known to be at work building these shore features? Have we any distinct evidence of the existence of back-set eddies from the Gulf stream, whose power is sufficient to move and guide the distribution of materials? Such eddies, to cause the prominent cusps of the Florida coast should, it seems, be very noticeable. It is possible that this evidence has been brought forward; but if so I have never seen it. As small spits and cusps may be made by waves in small. Enclosed and nearly land-locked bodies of water, where proper conditions exist, so it seems possible that larger cusps, even those as large as Hatteras, may be made where the supply of material is more rapid and of finer texture, while the waves are greater and the shore currents of wind origin more power ful and therefore able to move the fine materials. This certainly seems a possible explanation; and, even though it be not the correct one. It should at least be discussed as an hypothesis, and the evidence against it definitely brought forward, if there is such opposing evidence.
