  ON 
  A 
  PECULIAR 
  BED 
  OP 
  ANGULAR 
  DRIFT. 
  

  

  W. 
  S. 
  Symonds, 
  overlay 
  at 
  Malvern 
  remains 
  of 
  El. 
  antiquus, 
  Rh. 
  lepto- 
  

   rhinus, 
  &c. 
  As 
  these 
  remains 
  lay 
  under 
  glacial 
  drift 
  at 
  Settle 
  and 
  

   Raygill, 
  in 
  "West 
  Yorkshire, 
  and 
  there 
  was 
  much 
  evidence 
  that 
  the 
  

   Mammoth 
  fauna 
  survived 
  to 
  a 
  later 
  period 
  than 
  El. 
  antiquus 
  and 
  its 
  

   companions, 
  he 
  thought 
  that 
  the 
  facts 
  pointed 
  to 
  the 
  probability 
  of 
  

   the 
  beds 
  containing 
  Mammoth, 
  and 
  Reindeer, 
  described 
  by 
  Prof. 
  

   Prestwich, 
  having 
  been 
  formed 
  during 
  a 
  time 
  of 
  heavy 
  and 
  frequent 
  

   snows, 
  whilst 
  the 
  north-west 
  of 
  England 
  was 
  undergoing 
  glaciation. 
  

   Prof. 
  Prestwich 
  in 
  reply 
  described 
  the 
  general 
  section 
  of 
  the 
  

   neighbourhood; 
  in 
  the 
  lower 
  ground 
  were 
  drifts 
  which 
  contained 
  

   foreign 
  pebbles, 
  but 
  not 
  so 
  in 
  this 
  upper 
  drift. 
  Whatever 
  was 
  in 
  it 
  

   had 
  come 
  from 
  the 
  hills 
  above 
  it. 
  He 
  did 
  not 
  think 
  it 
  was 
  rain- 
  

   wash 
  ; 
  it 
  was 
  too 
  coarse 
  and 
  on 
  too 
  gentle 
  a 
  slope 
  for 
  that 
  ; 
  a 
  true 
  

   rain-wash 
  did 
  occur 
  here 
  of 
  quite 
  a 
  different 
  character.
