Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Phosphate Beds of South Carolina The physical geography of the area occupied by the phosphate, beds is so important, not only to a proper understanding of the his tory of their formation, but also to a right appreciation of their economic value, that it will be well to set it 'forth briefly before we consider the beds themselves. The coast of the United States between the parallels of 25 and 35 north latitude, forms a shallow and very regular westward curve.' The depth of this bight is about two hundred miles, and the width of the Opening measured from Cape Hatteras its northernmost, to Cape Florida its Southernmost point, is not far from six hundred miles.
