Abstract
The great Valley of the Thames has long been known to contain deposits of gravel intermixed with freshwater beds; but the true Geological age both of the valley of its deposits was long in doubt. Latterly the view expressed by Mr. Prestwhich (in which he was of accord both with Professor Morris and Mr.Trimmer), that the whole was newer than the Boulder-clay, has met with acquiescence. The general structure of the deposits in this valley, although they form the most extensive of the Post-Glacial series in England, has not however yet been shown in any comprehensive manner.Keywords
