 The drain lately constructed from the south end of St. 

 Sampson's Bridge to "Ambleside" has afforded an insight 

 into the composition of the subsoil in this locality. Com- 

 mencing at the end near the harbour an old beach is found 

 resting on rather plastic yellow clay with irregular patches of 

 sand and "souale." This clay is followed by underlying 

 diorite rock, which outcrops at the Coucou Hill. This is 

 followed by a hollow filled with clay and sand similar to that 

 above mentioned, then another outcrop of rock about 20 yards 

 iii length along the road occurs nearly opposite the end of 

 Brock Koad. The rock in this case consists of " Birdseye " 

 or Hornblende Grabbro* The remainder of the drain is sunk
