MEETINGS. 21 



The raised beach at Rouvets has been traced by Mr. 

 J. J. Carey in Mr. Simon's orchard. Elevation above mean 

 sea level, about 70 feet. 



10.— Perelle Bay, 

 The peat in this bay has been examined. The thickest 

 part dug into was only 14 inches deep and underlaid by sand. 

 Flag leaves and some roots were found, but no bones. Grass 

 was found in the underlying sand. The peat dips seaward at 

 a less angle than the slope of the beach, consequently it out- 

 crops seaward. Beyond the outcrop of the peat a bluish- 

 green clay occupies the depressions between the rocks, which 

 clay was proved to be derived from the decomposition of the 

 talvane diorite veins in the neighbourhood. 



11. — Lihou Island, 

 A raised beach exists in the less exposed spots both north 

 and south of the island. It is as much as 8 feet thick in some 

 parts, and its base is generally concealed under the shingle of 

 the modern beach. In the cove immediately south of the 

 priory ruins the stones in the old beach are nearly vertical, 

 indicating a storm beach. Flints and other stones not of local 

 origin are as usual present in the old beach. 



1 2 . — St. Peter-in-the- Wood. 



A high level beach has been discovered by Mr. J. J. 

 Carey about 300 feet south of the Creux aux Fees, at l'Eree. 

 Its elevation above mean sea level is 52 feet. 



Leaving the main road near Le Dou'it de Beuval and 

 turning by the first lane to the right (which leads towards Le 

 Colombier), a section is exposed showing head three feet thick, 

 at the base of which some pebbles occur resting on the de- 

 composed rock. This rock is sheared and curved in the 

 direction of the valley to the west. 



On the slope overlooking the south-east corner of 

 Rocquaine Bay some earthy head containing pebbles and flint 

 flakes lying at no great depth was noted. Height above mean 

 sea level, about 100 feet. 



13. — Torteval 

 In the lane east of Le Colombier a section is exposed 

 showing : — 



Head, 2 feet. 



A well defined line of angular pieces of rock, clay and 

 sand, with pebbles, 3 feet. 

 The underlying decomposed rock has its surface bounded by 

 a well marked line.
