Extract

In the Summer of 1900 the present writer on a visit to Newquay casually observed a deposit containing land shells near the Lifeboat House by Towan Head. The description of the little section was included in a joint paper by Mr. A. S. Kennard and himself on the “Post-Pliocene Non-marine Mollusca of the South of England” and fortunately assigned in error to the Pleistocene period.
