486 THE EEV. E. HILL ON THE [Aug. I906, 



figured in our former paper. 1 There are bands of Drift seeming to 

 run a few yards horizontally, as a group of two (or three) on the 

 cliff north of Maglevand, and one figured in a former paper. 2 There 

 are gullies lined with Drift, some extending from beach to cliff-top, 

 as, for example, one between Storre and Lille Taler. Where these 

 reach beach -level and can be examined, they consist of a dark stony 

 clay. One nearly-horizontal bed, under the cliffs of Slotsgavelne, 

 can be followed for about 100 yards, till it sinks below the shingle. 

 It seems to be about 15 feet thick, and most of it is hidden by talus, 

 but one or two rain-water gullies had laid bare its upper part, and its 

 junction with the Chalk above. For a few inches below the junction 

 it is slightly streaked : after that, it is a dark tough Boulder-Clay 

 containing numerous stones. 



Can all these varieties of Drift-inclusion be accounted for, 

 consistently with the pre-Glacial age of the disturbances? I think 

 that they can. 



The Chalk after extensive disturbance would not be left with a 

 level surface. There would almost certainly have been a hill-country 

 such as we find now ; and that hill-country would, most probably, 

 have faced the sea in a line of cliffs, such as we now find on all 

 the Chalk-shores which face the Baltic : Rugen, Moen, Stevns 

 Klint. In Glacial times the Drift came. It still lies against the 

 northern and southern ends of the present hill-country, to a thickness 

 which, in places, exceeds .100 feet. It runs up the slopes to their 

 summits, and may be seen capping the highest cliffs. It occupies 

 all the inland country. Tims the Chalk-hills are now overlain by 

 a mantle of Drift, and if at its deposition there was in existence 

 a range of cliffs, it would have sloped up against that range. 

 The present cliffs are indented with valleys, gullies, clefts, some 

 decj) and narrow, scarring the cliffs from summit to base ; recesses, 

 as will be described hereafter on Sommerspiret ; horizontal furrows, 

 where the Chalk overhangs the slopes below. There would be similar 

 hollows in the pre-Glacial cliffs, and the mantle of Drift would fill 

 all. When denudation began, it would proceed to remove this 

 mantle. A stage must come in which the range of cliffs would 

 begin to be exposed again. They would show chiefly Chalk, but 

 much Drift would remain in the valleys and gullies, and in recesses 

 or sheltered grooves of the cliffs. The aspect at such a stage 

 would be similar to the aspect presented now. I think that every 

 variety of Drift-inclusion which we find is accounted for, if we 

 suppose the cliffs that we see to be actually in this stage of the 

 denudation. Former caves and recesses would show on the cliff-face 

 as patches of Drift ; former horizontal grooves would appear to be 

 bands ; gullies might retain a Drift-lining ; while the deeper valleys 

 would again be valleys, but nearly filled with Drift.
