Extract

Other Localities.—Eight feet of loamy sand have been found in Walton Park Hotel garden, and are banked against the cliffs about 330 yards south-west of Ladye Bay. Mr. G. E. Male has lately found what he considers to be the same sands on the southern slopes of Worle Hill at Weston-super-Mare. Beyond Yatton there is some obscure stony sand in a gap of Cadbury Hill, near Cleve, and a trace of sand on the summit which cannot have been derived from waste of the limestones. No other signs of these deposits have yet been detected in Somerset, so far as I am aware, away from the Clevedon ridges, though traces of them may be looked for on the southern slopes of the Mendip and other adjacent hills
