Extract

The pebble-bed in the Trias of Budleigh Salterton has attracted much notice, but I am not aware that its materials have been compared with those of the corresponding bed in the Bunter group of the English Midlands. For this purpose I recently spent a short time at the former place, and think the results worth placing on record. I select for comparison the pebble-bed on the more northern part of the wild Staffordshire moorland called Cannock Chase, with which I happen to be especially familiar. The points of resemblance shall be noted first, those of difference afterwards.

page 76 note 1 A very full description of the pebble-bed, with notes on the pebbles by Mr. Carter, and references to literature up to 1880, is given by the late MrDavidson, T. “Palæont. Soc.” vol. xxxv. (1881)Google Scholar.

page 77 note 1 Here also the lighter coloured stones become a whiter colour, after they have been cleaned from the matrix, than they do in Staffordshire, though perhaps this difference may not be of much value.

page 77 note 2 I am indebted to Miss C. A. Raisin, B.Sc., for kind help in this matter.

page 79 note 1 Mr. Pengelly (Geol. Mag. 1878, p. 238) considered the fossiliferous quartzites to be practically identical with those of Gorran Haven.
