"South West into the land, and therefore that there must be more Diluvian. On going of the little Stonehouse Hrmt I soon saw that above the red diluvian lay considerable more marine beds. There are light green Flaggy sandstones nearly always derived from (light slip) and sandy greenish clays... Forams are scarce but teralbs turn up frequently and occasionally chintas on a section. Apparently these are the teralbe beds only which I get so many teralbs when collected here for the first time. Finally one could get no further outwards but the last dip seen was to the N. Br. and in conformity with the still lown beds. We then walked some hundreds of feet to One Aras Hrmt where the dips were like the last one seen. This seems to show that the Bridg Diluvian continues unbroken into the Devonian. It is quite certain that many hundred feet of green Flaggy sandstones are shown cannot be added to the diluvian section as determined by Forams-
