character of the animals, it may have been of later date, and 

 the only evidence of the possible submergence of the land at 

 that later period is the angular " landwash " which subtends the 

 base of all your hills. 



It is true that that angular debris might have been formed by 

 land-ice and snow ; but, besides the reasons I have given in my 



Land-wash

3. SECTION OF THE MALVERNS AND ADJACENT PLAIN ON THE EAST (NEARLY 

 TRUE SCALE FOR HEIGHT AND DISTANCE). 



Portland paper for adopting the sea view, I would point out, 

 in the case of the Malverns, the great distance to which, rela- 

 tively to the height, it extends from the base of the hill. 



Section No. 3 will show you this on a true scale of height and 

 distance. It seems to me that no bank of snow on the slope of 

 the Malverns could have propelled the debris the distance a b in 

 an open plain. It might have extended to c or a little beyond, 

 but scarcely more.
