The dark parts represent clay and sand, the rest chalk with flints. The steep inclined plane 

 represented in front is that before mentioned as having the appearance of a talus, but which is in 

 fact composed of solid chalk with flints, strewed over with detritus of chalk. The height from 

 the summit of the cliff to the sea, at Sommerspiret, was by conjecture about 300 feet. The su- 

 perposition of the chalk to the clay is not so evident as at Taleren, yet a side view of part of the 

 northern precipice gives the accompanying curious section (fig. 9.), where a great mass of sand 

 (f. «.) is seen let into the chalk, and a huge fragment of chalk is again included in the midst of 

 the sand. I know not the exact height of the precipice in this section, but it is perhaps eighty 

 feet.

Ch. Chalk with Flints. 



In projecting promontories of the cliff's between Taleren and Sommerspiret, masses of blue 

 clay are seen intersected in the chalk, in the manner represented in the annexed drawing, fig. 10.

The cliff' called Dronningestolen is between 300 and 400 feet in height, nearly three-fourths of 

 which are perpendicular, but the lower part is a sloping mass of solid chalk with flints, the beds of 

 flint being highly inclined towards the sea. This cliff" is represented in the annexed sketch
