Abstract
During the summer of 1933 one of us (B. S.) began work upon the age and correlation of the Culm Measures of North Devon, and the opportunity was taken to collect specimens of the sandstone and of the dune sands of Westward Ho! for a petrological examination. It was felt that a comparison of the mineral content of the Culm rocks with those of similar age in South Wales, upon which work was proceeding at University College, Swansea, might be interesting, and that an examination of the dunes of North Devon might reveal to what extent the Culm had contributed to their mineral composition, and also might confirm some of the conclusions regarding the origin of some of the minerals in the dunes of South Wales (1).Keywords
