Chalk; b. Sand; c. Boulder-clay. facing the sea show a slight curvature ; Others have considered the beds to be nearly horizontal; and certainly the flint layers in the upper portion of the mass appeared to be so in 1875. Mr. Clement Reid, in his recent paper on the Glacial de- posits of Cromer, has completely explained these conflicting appearances f. He had opportunities of visiting the spot after winter storms had cleared the section; and he discovered that the beds are bent into a sharp curve or loop, and are so contorted as to be horizontal in one place and nearly vertical in another.
