%66 MEETINGS. 



6. — Fort Doyle. 

 A section in the large quarry adjoining shows : — 

 Soil. 



Head in places 1 feet in thickness. 

 Raised beach sometimes 10 feet thick (in pockets). 

 The Head contains very large blocks, mostly angular, but 

 some appear waterworn. 



7. — Rousse. 

 The most remarkable point here is the beach, which is 

 covered with large boulders some 10 feet and more in dia- 

 meter. These boulders in many instances resemble outcrops 

 of rock, but are seen to rest on rubble head with angular 

 pieces of rock, or on ancient beach, fine patches of which are 

 exposed owing to the recent removal of the boulders by the 

 waves. This ancient beach corresponds to the raised beach of 

 other localities, but is here found at least as low down as the 

 level of mean tide. It is evident that the present beach was 

 at one time almost if not entirely covered with ancient beach 

 overlaid by rubble head, in which latter most of the boulders 

 now exposed were embedded. 



8. — Vaugrat Quarry. 

 The rock is covered by head, including, besides the usual 

 angular debris, sea-washed boulders, one of which was 5 feet 

 in diameter. At 4 feet below the surface a pebble and a flint 

 chip were found in what seemed to be undisturbed head. 

 Pebbles and flint flakes are found abundantly in the cutting 

 of the upper opening leading into said quarry, but only imme- 

 diately underneath the soil. 



On the summit of the hill a cutting has recently been 

 opened, showing 



Soil : 2 feet, containing very numerous flint chips. 

 Clay of irregular thickness, resembling head, but con- 

 taining numerous pebbles and resting on decomposed 

 rock. 



9. — Mare de Carteret 

 Some sections of Lord De Saumarez's excavations in this 

 locality are reported in the Transactions for 1892, page 182. 

 The excavations having since been continued in a south-west 

 direction towards the Genats Road, a further visit has been 

 made this year and the following sections measured : — 



(a) At the extremity of the excavation nearest Genats 

 Road ; — 

 Sandy soil, 1 foot. 

 Peaty land, 6 inches.
