The Coast-line 



accumulated here in times of flood. We shall doubtless 

 be able to settle this matter after having had an oppor- 

 tunity of comparing the material with the river deposits 

 higher up stream. 



The deposit was of no great thickness, as in a heap of 

 material which had been thrown out during the sinking 

 of a shallow well at one of the farms, clay with Pliocene 

 fossils was found, proving that this formation occurred 

 only a few feet below the surface. 



On arriving at Seaview we were informed that all 

 was now ready for our trip up the river, so we returned 

 to Port Hutton that evening, and went on board early 

 the following morning so as to take advantage of the 

 flood tide in going up the estuary.
