Abstract
Conclusions: From the few facts above detailed it would at all events appear that the coralline and red crags are on the hills north of Orford overlaid unconformably by a deposit ten to twenty feet thick of a distinct mineral and palæontological character. In Iken parish this deposit clearly reposes upon the coralline crag, and at Chillesford the red crag is at one point shown to occur below it, and at another to outcrop at a short distance from it on a lower level. The red crag is also frequently found between these two places on the slopes of the hills, the summits of which are capped by the clays and sands. The following section would therefore, I infer, represent the structure of this part of the country.
