20 MEETINGS. 



to the deposition of the beach and head, but nevertheless of 

 very ancient date. 



Pebbles are reported by Mr. J. J. Carey from the sum- 

 mit of Pocque Poussel near Noirmont, 68 feet above mean 

 sea level. 



6. — Neighbourhood of Castel Farm. 



In the lane near the Douit, which separates the Castel 

 and Vale parishes, pebbles occur in head. 



In the small quarry on Castel Farm there is a pocket 

 containing pebbles mixed with angular stones. Elevation 

 above mean sea level about 60 feet. 



In the quarry opposite Lilyvale large and small rounded 

 boulders up to 5 feet occur in the head. Although not in situ 

 they have probably been derived from disintegrating rock in 

 the immediate neighbourhood, as similar boulders occur in situ 

 in the decomposing rock of the quarry. 



7. — Neighbourhood of Le Camp, Castel. 

 Peat covered by about two feet of soil is reported as 

 existing in the lower part of the fields opposite La Hougue. 

 The outcrop would be about 400 feet nearer the shore than 

 the house called La Hougue (at the foot of the hill on which 

 the tower called Le Griffon stands), and the elevation about 

 50 feet above mean sea level. This is probably the margin of 

 the deposit under the Grande Mare and Vazon Bay. 



8. — Les Choffins, Castel. 

 In a quarry nearly opposite this farm house there is a 

 deposit reaching up to 8 feet in thickness, remarkable for its 

 sandy nature, being chiefly composed of sand, though clay 

 occurs in several regular seams or layers from half an inch to 

 one inch thick. This deposit fills a trough parallel to and 

 some distance to the south-west of the present valley, which 

 is excavated to a lower level. A corner of the same deposit 

 is also exhibited in a smaller quarry to the west of the prin- 

 cipal one. The underlying rock, though much decomposed, has 

 a remarkably smoothed surface, sloping towards the deposit. 



9. — St. Saviour's. 

 Various exposures of clay are seen in the neighbour- 

 hood of the church. One in the bend of the main road south 

 of the church shows interstratified sand and clay. 



A section half way between St. Saviour's Church and 

 St. Peter's Arsenal has been noted, showing 

 Sandy clay with pebbles, 

 Sand, containing rounded grains 3 3 feet, .
