The object of this note is to place on record an interesting occurrence of vanadiferous nodules on the coast of South Devon. I have to thank Lord Clinton, the owner of the property on which the nodules occur, for the assistance and encouragement he has given me in this matter, and Lieut.-General Sir William Furse, the Director of the Imperial Institute, for kindly arranging to have chemical analyses carried out by Miss Hilda Bennett in the Institute Laboratory. I also have to thank Mr. Thomas Crook, of the Imperial Institute, for the trouble he has taken to write up this short paper on the basis of my notes and the laboratory work done at the Institute.
