25 feet beach could not have been laid there. But this point 

 was missed. 



Looking for the same level on the English Coast I have 

 found only one allusion to it. but that one is confirmatory, and 

 is all we need as a correlation. Mr. Ussher, quoted by 

 Prestwich (op. cit. p. 282, Geo. Soc.) In Daymer Bay 

 there is a beach-reef on the shore, which is the only example 

 known to him, in Devon, of an old beach below high water 

 mark. It denotes an elevation of 5 to 10 feet. 



In Jersey also a deposit has been found by Mr. Baal, who 

 was induced by our find to dig a trench in Belcroute Bay to 

 discover if an old surface existed. Choosing his spot for 

 excavation with great foresight he came across, not beach 

 stones certainly, but what was just as valuable, a bed of peat, 

 evidently of seaweed origin, which I presume was a deposit of 

 seaweed at the top of the submerged beach. 



All these finds confirm each other, and we may consider it 

 proved that a rise of the land followed the deposition of the 

 25 feet beach. 



By the kindness of our Secretary, Major Carey-Curtis, I 

 am able to illustrate the Vazon patch of the submerged beach 

 which will enable any seeker to find it. (See Diagram No. 3.)
