MEETINGS. 267 



Loose sand, somewhat iron-stained, and of very irregular 

 thickness, but persistent, averaging 8 inches. 



Peaty land, 1 to 2 feet. 



Sandy clay, 9 to 10 feet, some parts very plastic ; colour 

 blue, weathering yellow ; bottom not seem 

 (b) About 25 feet from the above, down the course of 

 the excavation : — 



Soil, sandy and peaty, partly removed and disturbed 

 in the work of excavating. 



Sandy clay, 7 feet. 



Sandy clay and peaty clay, interstratified in ribbon-like

10, 11 and 12. — Grande Mare to Richmond. 



Three patches of raised beach have been reported by Mr. 

 J. J. Carey. One discovered in excavating at Fairmount 

 Cottage, just above Le Roquer (where patches were found last 

 year which are described at page 185) is 10 feet below the 

 surface and 2 feet thick. It ranks amongst the most elevated 

 above mean tide level. It is stated to be accompanied by 

 yellow sand. The two others, one at Brooklyn Cottage, King's 

 Mills, 6 feet from the surface, and one at Mr. Vidamour's, 

 behind Kichmond Hotel, 4 feet from the surface, both found 

 in excavating wells, are of lower level. 



13. — Neighbourhood of St. Saviours Church 



In a lane facing St. Saviour's Rectory and passing behind 

 the Moulin du Beauvalet various sections have been noticed 

 showing clay of no great thickness overlying rubble head. 

 The interest of these sections lies in their throwing some light 

 on the formation of the head. The rock under the head is 

 much cracked and disturbed. The disturbance gradually 

 increases ; the spaces between the blocks become larger and 

 the blocks are turned in various directions and no longer fit 

 together, until by imperceptible gradations the true head is 

 reached. 



14 — Les Adams and VEree. 



Rubble head was noticed in various sections, but no traces 

 of raised beach. 



15— Douit de Beuval, St Peter's. 

 A very good section is here exhibited, showing :— 

 Sandy clay, 3 to 15 feet
