Mr. Jukes-Browne, F.R.S., in a paper entitled “The Making of Torbay”, which has recently appeared in the Trans. Devon Assoc. for 1912, incidentally refers to the Raised Beaches of Torbay as follows: “The age of these beaches has been fairly well settled by the determination of the date of similar beaches in South Wales … the beaches testify to a subsidence which culminated either just before or during the epoch of maximum glaciation” (Trans. Devon Assoc. 1912, p. 726).
