CLIFF AND RUBBLE HEADS. 225 



In the large quarry at Bordeaux Harbour a deposit is 

 found on the sea face of the hougue showing itself in the 

 quarried section. Here it is covered as usual with head. 

 Several quarries in this neighbourhood contain well-marked 

 deposits. These appear somewhat higher than 25 feet, but 

 have not been levelled. 



Hommet Paradis has a deposit of the 25 feet level appa- 

 rently. On the hill south of Paradise quarry there are 

 important beaches. These are as follows : — 



In Paradise quarry itself, high up on its south side, a 

 clayey head with rolled stones. 



In a lane (la rue Miellette) is a small patch in the side 

 hedge with an elevation of 35*52 feet. 



Across a field in the same lane is a " head " containing 

 many rolled stones. 



This heading has been traced down the side of the hill to 

 the quarry below, and there it still contains rolled stones, but 

 neither of these patches are true beach deposits ; they are 

 really heading of rubble and clay with beach stones imbedded. 



In the Grand Miellette quarry is a good deposit at an 

 elevation of 54*87 feet. 



In the Le Huray quarry is also a fair deposit at an ele- 

 vation of 64*96 feet. 



At the cromlech, which is just beyond the last named 

 quarry, and in two fields adjoining, there are decided traces 

 of deposits, but they are nearly destroyed by cultivation, 

 which, however, has left a large number of pebbles loosely 

 spread on the cultivated patches. These fields are at about 

 65 feet elevation. 



Behind the newer La Moye house, in La Moye road, is a 

 distinct deposit at an elevation of 55*21 feet. 



At Fort Le Marchant is an extensive beach existing 

 right across the promontory, and which is proved to be at an 

 elevation of 24 feet.* 



From Fort Le Marchant to Mont Cuet, along the sea 

 face, this beach is more or less continuous, and is found in 

 almost all the quarry cuttings around Mont Cuet at elevations 

 varying between 20 and 30 feet.* 



Along the Grand Havre side of L'Ancresse the beach is 

 picked up near to the Vale Church. The grave-yard of this 

 church and its surroundings is practically an old beach, for 

 we are told that the graves are partly dug out of shingle, and 

 Mr. Carey has noted several exposed patches around the hill 

 on which the church is built.
