Abstract
The erratic rocks of the early pebble gravels are similar to those of the Oxford plateau drift, and reasons are given for concluding that they belong to the drifts of the proto-Thames, and are earlier than the southward diversion of that river by an advancing ice-sheet. Comparisons with the constituents of the later deposits of the Clacton channel are also discussed.Keywords
