STOPING AT THE WATER'S EDGE: REASON OR HABIT? A REPLY.

The article presents a response by the author to a article by Jane M, Soons, criticizing author's article "Raised Submarine Canyons: An Explanatory Hypothesis," published in the 1966 issue of the journal "Annals." According to the author, Soons has criticized the canyon paper on two different counts. In all but one case the charge of error turns out conclusively to be her error, compounded by the gratuitous contribution of several new errors. The second charge concerns the interpretation of ideas presented on the nature and origin of fiords. Her treatment of what was said on the origin of fiords is misleading both in what was included and, especially, in what was omitted.
