Abstract
The presence of locally abundant pebbles of Middle Devonian Limestone in the New Red Sandstone near North Tawton, Devonshire, is recorded. It is suggested that these were derived in Permian times from a nearby outcrop of Devonian limestones which projected through the Culm Measures of the mid-Devon syncline.Keywords
