was the Upper Greensand. The village of Clifftown 

 ^ was built upon it, and it formed the 



bed of the Clifftown Burn. The 

 beds of greensand dipped at the 

 same angle as the chalk which lay 

 upon them, and this junction, unlike 

 that in Dipton Burn, was a con- 

 formable one. 



In the bed of the stream at Cliff- 

 town the rocks were nearly horizontal, 

 and a few yards farther on, they 

 were seen to dip towards the east at 

 15. This change in the direction 

 of the dip was caused by the occur- 

 rence of an arched fold or anticline 

 as indicated in the section (Fig. 10). 



A little farther towards the east 

 the chalk again appeared in the cliff, 

 o being brought into contact with the 

 greensand along an almost vertical 

 line, which was evidently a fault. 

 There was still a little greensand to 

 be seen at the foot of the cliff, but 

 this soon disappeared below the 

 level of the beach. 



Owing to the state of the tide, it 

 was found impracticable to proceed 

 farther to the east, and so a return 

 made to Clifftown with the
