Vol. 57.] DRIFTS OF THE BALTIC COAST OF GERMANY. 15 



We again failed to discover any signs of conspicuous faulting in 

 this district. Slight dislocations do occur where the Chalk shows 

 most indications of folding, as in the part nearer Sassnitz, though 

 certainly not in the region of which we have just spoken. But we 

 did find additional evidence of the letting-down of these Drifts into 

 valleys. One we have already mentioned. The Lenzerbach section 

 is another; for in this, when regarded from the sea, the junction- 

 surface of the Chalk and the overlying Drift takes the form of a 

 reversed flattened arch. A section on the Kollicker Ufer, viewed

Allowing for a reduction in an horizontal, as compared with a vertical, direction, 

 this fairly represents a cliff-section when seen from a distance, a = Chalk ; 

 h, c, d = the three members of the Drift ; FF = Faults. 



in the same way, shows a V-like hollow in the Chalk, ending much 

 above the beach ; the lower clay and sand rest on a slope at a 

 moderate angle on the northern side, and seemingly end abruptly 

 against a steep wall of Chalk which could be seen rising behind and 

 above the Drift. Again, in a section some distance to the south- 

 east of Stubbenkammer (a little south of the valley called Monchsteig) 

 a quantity of Drift fills a hollow in the Chalk, in section like this -w : 

 the latter rock is continuous for a good height above the beach.^ 



Here the Drift consists not only of the usual three members, but 

 of a thick bed (over 30 feet) of overlying sand followed by a third 

 clay, which is capped (?unconformably) by the usual whitish boulder- 

 clay. On the northern side, the synclinal structure of the beds in 

 the Drifts is very clear ; on the southern this is masked by slip and 

 vegetation, but the view from the sea conveyed the impression that 

 it also existed there. 



There is, however, yet another instance which had not been 

 disclosed in July 1898. We called special attention^ to the section 



strike nearly due north and south, which is also the general direction of the coast 

 from the Wissower Bach to the Kollicker Ort (approximately). At the former 

 it turns south-south-westward, at the latter approaches the north-west. In 

 both these parts folding becomes very conspicuous. Also we do not deny the 

 existence of i'aults, but maintain them and the folds to be long anterior to the 

 deposition of the Drift. So we believe, as intimated in our former paper, that, 

 notwithstanding the frequency of an apparently southerly dip, no great thickness 

 of Chalk is exposed in the cliff-sections.] 



^ We made ourselves certain of this fact from below, and also studied the 

 section from above.
