2 Footnote to p. 572 added in proof. Recent studies of the sediments in the western 

 Straits of Dover add much to our ideas of the extent of transportation in calcareous sedi- 

 ments by strong tidal currents. Boillot (I960, pp. 17-19) describes submarine dunes of 

 skeletal debris (shell fragments, barnacle plates, and bryozoan debris) up to 20 m high 

 off the French coast. This .skeletal debris is produced by animals who live on the current- 

 swept, pebbly bottoms surrounding the diuies. The distances that these particles are trans- 

 ported is relatively short judging from the study of a larger area, Boillot (1961, p. 203). 

 Another study of the sediments of the embayment at Mont-Saint-Michel by Bourcart and 

 Boillot (1960, p. 198) presents evidence of the transportation of skeletal debris up to sev- 

 eral kilometers by waves and flood tidal currents.
