Summary

Description

MARINE DRIFTS IN NORTH WALES.
187
with excavations, showing a
great extent of well-rounded
gravel and sand, at an eleva-
tion of 1236 feet

and near to
it there is a small gravel hillock.
jN". of Erwy there are two small
gravel hillocks, and W. of them
a large knoll with several
pits, showing numerous extra
rounded stones, and much fine
laminated sand, at a height of
about 1130 feet. The stream
which flows past Cae-llwyd has
made a deep excavation in
more or less rounded gravel,
which extends for a greater or
less distance on both sides


but here and elsewhere it is
obvious that the gravel was
deposited before the present
stream began to flow over it
and excavate its present chan-
nel. The heather-covered moor
between here and Mountain
Lodge in many places shows
signs of being composed of
more or less rounded gravel
and sand; while E., N"., and
N.W. of Mountain Lodge there
are numerous exposures of
rounded gravel from 1010 feet
up to 1174 feet (N. of Moun-
tain Lodge). The lodge (about
1100 feet) and its garden are
situated on a great thickness
of gravel and fine sand (fig. 2).
Along the road and its bifurca-
tions N.W. of Mountain Lodge,
as high up at least as 1350
feet above the sea, there is
much rounded gravel and sand
spread over comparatively flat
ground, or rising in the form
of mounds or hillocks. .Near
the lodge, on the 8. side of the
small stream, there are two
large gravel-pits now disused


and about 352 yards from the
lodge in a N.W. direction, is the
gravel-pit, 1230 feet above the
Rounded and sub-
angular gravel.

Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
