Extract

The low cliffs stretching from Gorleston, south of Yarmouth, towards Lowestoft, are mainly composed of boulder drift, and are well described by the late Mr. Trimmer in the Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society for 1857. As an independent confirmation of his observations on the intercalation of the whole boulder-clay double series, between the fluvio-marine and forest bed beneath, and the local marls and marsh and estuary beds occasionally above, I send the following note, made without having had the benefit of Mr. Trimmer’s paper.
