Extract

The Quaternary System has always presented peculiar difficulties to those geologists who have attempted to work out its chronology, largely owing to the fact that it is not always easy to correlate the details of one locality with those of another. In some cases at least, this appears to be due to lack of knowledge of the detailed sequence of events within a limited district, whether such a sequence is considered from the climatic or from the cultural point of view, or from a combination of both. The main object of the present paper is to enquire into the state of our knowledge concerning the Quaternary and Recent train of events which have taken place within a limited district, so that in the future this area can be compared with others which will have been treated in a similar way.
