Drifts. Eut on re-examination, the impossibilities of the ' folding' 

 hypothesis showed themselves more clearly than ever. After the 

 Kieler Bach the Drift comes three other times down to the beach in 

 (perhaps) a long half-mile. In regard to that section we have nothing 

 to add to onr paper, except that we are more than ever certain that on 



Fig. 7. — Section beiiueen the Wissower Bach and the Wissower Klinhen 



(northern end). 









1 = Whitish boulder-clay, or rearranged material from it. 



2 = Vertical wall of Chalk ; flint-bands locally curved, cut obliquely. 



3 = About 1 foot of banded clay and sand, apparently in a vertical position. 



4 = Nearly vertical face of a grey stony clay. 4 a, 4 6 = Bedded sands in the 



same — possibly only parted by a ' wash-over ' of clay ; but if so, the 

 latter band is much thinner than the former. 



5 = Variable stratified, sometimes false-bedded, sand, about 10 feet thick. 



6 = Grey boulder-clay (the lower mass), very characteristic, with fairly large 



boulders (Scandinavian) at the base, Nearly 9 feet thick. 



7 = Chalk with flint-bands (not clearly displayed). As the sections are not 



in parallel planes and the curvature in 2 is very local, the discordance 

 in bedding is more apparent than real. 



8 = Pebbly beach and sea. 



cc = Soil and vegetation, about 15 to 18 inches thick, and rather overhanging 



near the position of the letter. 

 '{/ = Sand rather obscured by slips. 

 z = Slope of chalk-rubble. 



the southern side the Drift rests against an old cliff of Chalk, while 

 on the northern it overlies a sloping surface of the same rock.^ A 

 short distance south of the Kieler Bach, Drift is seen high up on the 

 cliff apparently filhng a shallow valley or basin, but as this spot is 



^ This, on approaching the bottom of a glen, rises in a slight ridge.
