III.—The Drift-Beds of Llandrillo Bay, Denbighshire
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
In a former number of Geological Magazine I attempted to describe the old sea-beach which extends along the coast of Llandrillo Bay, and continues round the Great Orme's Head mountain. It is my purpose now to draw attention to the series of Drift-beds, belonging to both the Post Pliocene and recent periods, which are here so well defined within a short space, and it is the more desirable to do so, because the encroachments of the sea are annually producing great changes in this district.

May not some of the bones found in these and similar caves have been washed in through the fissures with the Boulder-clay, although the caves themselves may hare been occupied as dens, or human habitations at a later date; and would not this account for the strange mixture of remains of animals belonging to different climates so often found in them?
