MEETINGS. 125 



No. 8. — Rocque Maingy. 



A deposit of small extent, but apparently high level, has 

 been found in the quarry below this rock. The heads of the 

 rocks here are decidedly water-worn. This spot will be 

 levelled next season. 



No. 9.— The Coasts of Port Soif. 



The coast line at Port Soif has been found to contain 

 large deposits of ancient beach at a higher level than the 

 present one. The cart road leading to a quarry has enabled 

 the beach to be traced to the centre of the promontory (see 

 plan and photographs Nos. 8 and 9). The deposit underlies 

 the whole of the isthmus. At the bank's edge the section 

 shows 1 foot 6 inches of loamy earth, 2 feet 6 inches of large 

 and small angular stones, and 2 feet of clay overlying the 

 beach deposit. 



No. 10. — Grandes Rocques. 



Here the same conditions and the same deposits are 

 continued, the whole of the isthmus uniting the Grandes 

 Kocques to the land is composed of sand, rubble, and ancient 

 beach. The latter is to be traced in many rocky spots 

 (see photographs Nos. 10, 11 and 12) even on the outlying 

 islets. 



JSTo. 11.— Gobo. 



The existence of beach deposits in several spots around 

 Albecq and in Albecq cutting, as well as below the Cobo 

 Hotel, has been noted. In these patches the rolled stones 

 rest directly on water- worn rocks, and are covered by several 

 feet of decomposed rock rubble (see photograph 13). 



No. 12. — Hommet and Grande Mare. 



The promontory at Hommet contains many patches of 

 rolled stones (see photographs) at the same elevation, appa- 

 rently, as those previously described. These have only 

 been viewed, the levels and measurements have still to be 

 taken. In a field at Grande Mare, near the rivulet, a sandy 

 deposit, some 100 yards inside the present beach, contains a 

 deposit of rolled stones about one foot deep. The deposit is 

 about one-third of the distance from high water mark to the 

 deposit of clay spoken of under the heading " Clay." Between 

 the two spots the land is largely covered by sand, and is very 

 flat (see photographs Nos. 15, 16 and 17). Associated with 

 the sand and clay peat has been noted.
