Abstract
IN this chapter the changes will be described which take place in the size-grading when non-uniform sands are removed by the wind from a sand bed, transported over the surface, and re-deposited. These three processes constitute a cycle of operations which all sand must go through when it is set in motion either by air or water. But since no detailed work appears to have been done for the case of water, the results can only be taken as applying to air. It will be as well to begin with a short examination of the conditions under which each part of the cycle of operations occurs.
