Excerpt from Genesis and Development of Sand Formations on Marine Coasts
The term eolian in this connection was to my knowledge first used in 1835 by R. J. Nelson 1) and it signifies the agency of wind. Eolian deposits exhibit a different composition and structure from the nep tunian, those sediments which have been built up by the water. The transporting power of water being considerably greater than that of wind, it necessarily follows that the material moved by aqueous agencies varies more in size than that which is carried by the wind. We will have ample Opportunity to note this difference as we proceed in our inquiry.
N o rational nomenclature for the different kinds of soil constituents, neither of inorganic nor of organogenetic origin, has yet been agreed upon, and it will thus be necessary to give here the designations which have been used during my observations in the field.
