THE late Dr. A. Wegener claimed the advantage for his hypothesis of `continental drift' that it could be tested by making repeated astronomical observations of the positions of land stations; for drifts at the rates of only a few feet a year would suffice to carry the land masses far within the span of geological time. Few geologists would in respect to this problem deny the applicability of the dictum that `the present is the key to the past' the question is whether precision determinations of `position' will give measurable results within a reasonable time.
