shallowness of the excavation, the details could not be 

 ascertained. 



Cliffs near Icart, St. Martin's. 



A small depression near the quarry bordering the cliffs 

 has lately been levelled. It was previously marshy, and in 

 excavating, a layer of plastic blue clay with gritty particles 

 of gneiss about 5 feet thick was found under the peaty soil. 

 This in its turn was underlaid by a foot or more of peat, 

 through which the gneiss rock protruded in ridges. 



Les Gendts, Cdtel. 



The discovery of a bone, part of the os sacrum of a 

 sheep, or other small animal, in this neighbourhood has been 

 reported. Although this bone was found in soil which had 

 been previously disturbed, its appearance leaves no doubt as 

 to its belonging to the prehistoric period. The locality where 

 it was found is the margin of the Mare de Carteret, the 

 deposits of which have been described in previous reports 

 with reference to the excavation of Lord De Saumarez's 

 canal. In this case the soil was underlaid by a deposit of 

 iron-stained sand with a layer of pebbles. 



Ramee Road. 



In the field opposite St. Catherine farm, an excavation of 

 about 6 feet in depth shewed a homogeneous yellow loam, 

 with some flint pebbles. In the excavations made for laying 

 gas pipes in this neighbourhood, quantities of pebbles were 

 turned up. These facts confirm the existence of an ancient 

 beach previously believed to exist in this vicinity .^ 



Mr. Fallas gravel quarry near the Griffon Toioer, Cdtel. 



This quarry, which has been previously referred to, now 

 presents a fine exposure of a mass of amorphous diorite or 

 talvane, with some smaller outlying portions, the whole 

 forming inclusions in the granite, which belongs to the Cobo 

 red granite formation. Though both the diorite and granite 

 are decomposed, their outlines are well seen owing to the 

 contrast of colour.
