 Icfs than one hundred feet high ; more than at 

 Hafbro',where it does not rife ten feet from the 

 beach. 



In going above-cliff we faw two large heaps MARL. 

 of marl, which have been got out of the face 

 of the cliff. 



This, it fcems, is a common practice of the 

 farmers whofe lands lie next the coaft. It is 

 fometimes drawri up by a wince, which they 

 call " davying" it up; or elfe run up in 

 wheelbarrows, in oblique paths, made in the 

 face of the cliff; in which manner thefe heaps 

 appear to have been got up : but neither the 

 place where it has been dug from, nor even 

 the path or gangway, except juft at the very 

 top, are now to be feen the whole having, in 

 a few weeks, crumbled into the ocean 1 . 



Further along the coaft, towards Hafbro', 

 the farmers throw up a clay, out of the face 

 of the cliff, which is here very low : and near 

 the village of Hafbro* is found a white brick- 

 earth efteemed the beft in the county.
