Plate XVII. 



Fig. 1. — Road-tutting on Squire's Farm. The columnar structure of the 

 loess is well seen. The lower part is a residual clay, passing 

 into coarse gravels which lie on the limestone. 



Fig. 2. — The upper part of Little River Valley, viewed from Squire's 

 Farm. The rock in the foreground is the uppermost part of 

 the limestone, with soft layers. In the middle distance, on the 

 left, the white flaky limestone is seen passing up into the dark 

 and ordinary limestones, which in turn pass up into the blue 

 clay. The wide river-terraces are well shown here.
