  THE 
  CELALK-MASSES 
  

  

  distinct 
  line 
  of 
  erosion, 
  which 
  may 
  he 
  traced 
  from 
  Mundesley 
  as 
  far 
  

   as 
  the 
  southernmost 
  of 
  the 
  chalk 
  bluffs. 
  The 
  Contorted 
  Drift 
  is 
  a 
  

   confused, 
  folded-up 
  mass 
  of 
  sands, 
  gravels, 
  and 
  muds, 
  which 
  in 
  places 
  

   have 
  been 
  distinctly 
  stratified 
  and 
  afterwards 
  forced 
  up 
  and 
  bent 
  

   into 
  the 
  most 
  striking 
  convolutions 
  (figs. 
  5, 
  6, 
  7). 
  The 
  confused 
  

   arrangement 
  of 
  the 
  beds 
  is 
  best 
  illustrated 
  by 
  the 
  section

  angles 
  to 
  the 
  shore 
  (fig. 
  5) 
  where 
  unstratified 
  till 
  (b), 
  containing 
  a 
  

   nest 
  of 
  gravel 
  (c), 
  rests 
  upon 
  stratified 
  till 
  («), 
  while 
  horizontally 
  the 
  

   unstratified 
  till 
  passes 
  into 
  sands 
  and 
  gravels 
  in 
  an 
  indescribable 
  state 
  

   of 
  confusion 
  not 
  unlike 
  the 
  figure 
  in 
  a 
  knotty 
  piece 
  of 
  wood, 
  as 
  at 
  d. 
  

   The 
  included 
  boulders 
  of 
  primary 
  rocks 
  and 
  the 
  chalk-masses 
  I 
  shall 
  

   treat 
  separately, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  the 
  relations 
  that 
  can 
  be 
  traced 
  between 
  

   the 
  convoluted 
  beds 
  and 
  the 
  included 
  masses. 
  

  

  The 
  contorted 
  drift 
  is 
  capped 
  by 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  sands 
  and 
  well-rolled 
  

   gravels, 
  which 
  Mr. 
  Searles 
  Wood, 
  with 
  his 
  usual 
  accuracy, 
  has 
  shown
