that position is only accidental remains undetermined. The 

 low level beach is well marked in the immediate neighbour- 

 hood. 



5. — Clay Pit in Lane from Mauxmarquis to Bailiffs Cross. 



This pit has been again visited. There is but a foot or 

 so of clay above the disintegrated rock. This capping had 

 been removed on a certain area, and on the surface thus 

 exposed were found pebbles, some of flint, one of porphyry, 

 one of quartzose granite, and some of diorite ; also some 

 angular pieces of diorite and some Hint flakes. One of the 

 diorite pebbles and one of the angular pieces showed striatums 

 of undetermined origin. 



6. — St. Peter-in-the- Wood. 



A little head was observed near Le Lorier and in St. 

 Briocq Valley, but this district is generally bare of superficial 

 deposits. The surface of the decomposed rock under the soil 

 is in many places (notably near the Vinaires) remarkably 

 smooth and distinct. 



7. — Waterworks Well near La Villiaze, St. Andrew's. 



A well excavated in Mr. A. Mansell's field showed clay 

 about 1 foot in thickness between the soil and decomposed 

 rock. 



8. — Waterworks Wells at St. Martin's. 



A well in " Pompe Lane," close to the site of Hougue 

 Hatenez, showed soil passing into clay, together about 

 6 feet in thickness, overlying decomposed rock. 



Another well, near the Half Moon Inn, showed 3 feet of 

 soil and 5 feet of clay overlying decomposed rock. The clay 

 resembles that in Mr. Heaume's well and, like it, exhibits 

 lenticular patches of more sandy character. 



9. — Lcs Douvres, St. Martin's. 



In an excavation clay 2 feet thick was found overlying 

 decomposed rock. 



10.— St. Martins Brickfield. 



This has been revisited. The sandy clay or "jaune 

 terre "is 10 feet or more in thickness, overlying decomposed 

 gneiss. At the bottom, resting on the rock, and occasionally 

 at a higher level, are found pieces of quartz. Most of these 

 have the angles rounded, especially the smaller pieces, but no 

 true pebbles were found.
