184 MEETINGS. 



1. — Bordeaux. 

 A rubble and beach deposit was traced, on the 31st of 

 May, around the east face of Monts Quarry, on the north 

 side of the harbour. The section is well defined and forms 

 part of an ancient deposit of rolled beach stones which rested 

 on the side of the Hougue, and has since received the wash of 

 debris, which, having filled up the interstices, finds itself 

 now a part of the beach deposit. Evidence exists that a beach, 

 presumably an ancient portion of the present beach, extends 

 100 yards (about) inland from the present sea margin along 

 the centre of the harbour. 



2. — Bec-du-Nez. 



A raised beach of about one foot in depth is seen in 

 section on the south side of the battery of Bec-du-Nez. A 

 very small remnant of the same formation was found on the 

 north side of the battery, but it was evidently the last remain- 

 ing piece, for on June 14th, when it was removed, a search 

 was made all along the rock platform beyond the boat station 

 without seeing any of the rolled stones known to have been 

 embedded beneath this portion of the cliff. It belongs to the 

 25 feet level. 



3. — Richmond. 



The raised beaches seen here are extensive and in all re- 

 spects of the same character as those already described in last 

 year's report as existing along the north-west coast. The 

 deposit extends all along the coast line around the promontory, 

 being lost at each end at the termination of the walls of the 

 bays Vazon and Perrelle. This raised beach, on the W. of the 

 promontory, is overlaid by rubble head, and that by clay, the 

 whole being capped by a layer of about one foot oi sand and 

 pebbles, which appear to form part of the modern beach, not- 

 withstanding its elevation and the removal of the slope up 

 which these pebbles must have reached their present position by 

 subsequent action of the sea. It belongs to the 25 leet level. 



4. — Hommet Paradis. 

 This Hommet is practically an out-crop of rock with its 

 margin and hollows filled in with raised and hardened beach, 

 on which rubble has fallen. These formations are rapidly 

 disappearing under the action of the sea. It belongs to the 

 25 feet level. 



5. — Perrelle. 



The coast deposit of beach is here continued and is in 

 many places to be seen to advantage, owing to the new road
