VALLEY GRAVELS. 225

 larger one. The sand and gravel beneath are fairly constant in 

 thickness. The following sections were noted : —

We now reach the parts of the clifF which were described on 

 p. 220, as being capped with Plateau Gravel. The Valley Gravel, it 

 will be noticed, runs to the edge of the cliff between the low hills 

 on which the Plateau Gravels rest, so that the relations of the two 

 can be conveniently studied. Remains of Elephas primigenius 

 have been recorded from a point half a mile east of Brook Chine, 

 about 96 feet above the sea.* Apparently they must have 

 occurred in what has been described as Plateau Gravel, but the. 

 point is uncertain. 



On the east side of Brook Chine gravelly loam, 6 to 8 feet 

 thick, rests on 4 feet of well-bedded sand and gravel ; but at; 

 the chine, and for a few yards west of it, the gravel has been 

 re-arranged and will be described among the more recent deposits 

 (p. 231, Hazel-nut Gravels). 



At Hanover Point the Valley Gravels thin away against a slope 

 of Weald Clay rising to the south, as near Chilton. On the east 

 side of the point the following section was noted ; —

At Shippard's Chine the Hazel-nut Gravels re-appear, but 

 200 yards to the north-west of the chine we find the following
