II. — Notes on the Drift and Undeblting Deposits at Newquay^ 



Cornwall. 



By B. B. AVooDWARD, F.L.S., F.G.S., etc. 



(PLATES II AND III.) 



IN the Summer of 1900 the present writer on a visit to Newquay 

 casually observed a deposit containing land shells near the 

 Lifeboat House by Towan Head. The description of the little section 

 was included in a joint paper by Mr. A. S. Kennard and himself on 

 the " Post-Pliocene Non-marine Mollusca of the South of England" ^ 

 and fortunately assigned in error to the Pleistocene period. 



Fortunately, because the mistake elicited a very interesting and 

 important communication on the series of deposits at that locality by 

 Mr. S. Hazzledine Warren, with determinations of the shells and 

 notes by Mr. A. S. Kennard.^ 



A holiday lately spent on the spot afforded the chance for making 

 further observations, which supplement those of Mr. Warren in some 

 respects, but differ from his in a few points, owing probably to some 

 change in the sections in the interval. The list of mollusca has also 

 been increased by the addition of several more species. 



Opportunity was further taken of noting the sections of all the beds 

 above the Killas, and since these seem largely to have been mis- 

 understood, and vary under the destructive influence of Winter storms^ 

 it may be useful to place on record their present aspect.
