PLEISTOCENE DEPOSITS NEAR PADSTOW. 59 



not a " Head," or atmospheric talus, its position on either of the 

 foregoing hypotheses furnishes a notable exception to Mr. Game's 

 conclusion as to the " Head " never being found below either raised 

 beaches or boulder gravels. In other respects the numerous ob- 

 servations I have made on the Cornish coast fully corroborate this 

 conclusion. Eegarding C as an old fluviatile deposit, which the 

 tendency to horizontal distribution in its contained fragments might 

 warrant, I should prefer to fix the date of the overlying gravel as 

 anterior to the raised beach formation, in accordance with the first 

 hypothesis. 



In conclusion, I have to express my sincere obligations to Dr. 

 Henry Woodward for his kind advice and assistance in correcting 

 the proofs of these papers, and insuring the best means for their 

 publication.
