• W2335263246 abstract "H.M.S. Ormonde, in a recent survey (1930-31) of Famagusta Bay, eastern Cyprus, has discovered a submarine trough of which the Hydrographer remarks: I do not recollect ever having seen on a chart such an abrupt and deep cleft like this. As this trough is opposite the ruins of Salamis, the first suggestion was naturally that it might have been made by the earthquakes which overthrew that city. Admiral Douglas has kindly sent me a tracing of the Survey chart, and called my attention to this discovery. The trough is half a mile long and a quarter of a mile wide, the walls are remarkably steep, the shape is rectangular, and the floor flat. The bottom at the 123-fathom sounding is grey clay. The trough notches the edge of the 100-fathom shelf which extends from the shore for 2J to 3 miles; it abruptly deflects all the contours from 150 fathoms up to 70 fathoms, but does not affect the 50-fathom line. As generalized on the Admiralty Chart of Cyprus (No. 2074,1905, about 3^ miles to the inch) the trough is marked as trending from south-west to north-east, in line with the mouth of the Pedias River, and a little south of the ruins of Salamis. The tracing of the Admiralty Survey chart on the scale of nearly 3 inches to the mile shows that this trend holds for the part of the trough between the depths of 70 fathoms and 100 fathoms; below 100 fathoms it trends from south-south-west to north-north-east, the outer part, 160 fathoms deep, trends from west-south-west to east-north-east. Two explanatipns of this trough appear possible: It may be due to excavation or to the foundering of its floor. If the former, two agents of excavation are possible?a river or the sea. Either of them requires the elevation of the area to at least 1000 feet above the present level. That elevation however presents no difliculty. The pygmy hippopotamus and the small elephant whose bones were found in the caves of northern Cyprus by Miss D. Bate* show that in recent geological times Cyprus was connected by land with the mainland, which would require an uplift at least 320 fathoms. Cyprus has been isolated by the subsidence of the surrounding sea-floor, and both the physiographic and geological evidence show that the island has shared in the subsidence. If the trough was river-cut it must have been by a former extension of the Pedias River across the plain which is now the floor of Famagusta Bay. The connection of that river with the trough is suggested by the fact that the upper part of the trough points toward its mouth. The Pedias River drains the eastern part of the broad valley that extends from Famagusta Bay westward across Cyprus to Morphpu Bay. When the area stood 600 feet above its present level the Pedias doubtless continued eastward and would have fallen over the" @default.
