II.—On the Revision of South Wales and Monmouthshire by the Geological Survey1

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

The Original geological survey of South Wales was made under the direction of Sir Henry de la Beche. The exact date of its commencement is uncertain, but I am informed by Mr. Aveline that in 1840, when he joined, the staff was engaged in the neighbourhood of Cardiff, and in 1841 Bamsay on his appointment found that the survey had progressed westwards into Pembrokeshire, and was at work at Tenby and St. David's. By the end of 1815 the maps had all been published. A complete list of the names which appear on them consists of H. T. de la Beche, J. Phillips, D. H. Williams, A. C Bamsay, W. T. Aveline, J. Bees, T. E. James, W. E. Logan, H. W. Bristow, and H. B. Woodward.
