During a residence of six weeks at Bude, in the autumn of 1889, I enjoyed the opportunity of studying the Culm-measures exposed in the bold cliffs of that part of the coast of Cornwall. I know of no easily accessible place where the flexures and contortions into which strata have been thrown by earth-movements can be studied with greater advantage. Between Bude-haven and Menachurch Point, a distance of one mile as the crow flies, there are at least eleven synclinal and as many anticlinal folds, presenting a variety of flexures of considerable interest to the geological student.
