100 A RECENT LANDSLIP ON JORDAN CLIFF. 



sunk about 5 or 6 feet since last November, but has not extended 

 laterally. Captain A. Rickards, who accompanied me on this 

 visit, called my attention to the fact that at some distance inland 

 there was a crack of some inches wide extending from the east 

 side of the wall continuously for about two-thirds of the way 

 down the western side of the hill parallel to the edge of the cliff. 

 A subsidence of a few inches has also taken place in the outer 

 portion, which forms a strip about 80 yards wide. This crack is 

 very strongly marked by a large break in the wall which runs 

 direct inland from the middle of the " May slip." This break is 

 78 yards from the edge of the cliff. There are a few slight 

 cracks in this wall at distances of 5, 13, 18, and 22 yards from 

 the cliff edge, but these are at present less than an inch wide and 

 are not traceable in the ground. The large one at 78 yards 

 would appear to foretell a slip on a much larger scale in the not 

 far distant future.
