VI.—Recent Denudation in Nant Ffrancon, North Wales

Extract

Readers of this Magazine may remember that early last August there were descriptions in many provincial and even in some London newspapers of an extensive ‘landslip,’ which had occurred on the side of the mountain called Carnedd Dafydd, on the eastern side of the valley of Nant Ffrancon, in North Wales. The impression conveyed was perhaps somewhat exaggerated, and yet the phenomenon was on a scale quite large enough to be of geological importance.
