Abstract

I HAVE lately recorded in these columns1 the occurrence, south of the Thames, of a ‘floor’ yielding flint implements of Upper Palaeolithic types and fragments of coarse pottery inter-stratified between Coombe Deposits. The relation of these Coombe Deposits to the Gravels of the Flood Plain has been clearly demonstrated, north of the Thames, by the officers of the Geological Survey.2 For there the Flood Plain Gravels may be seen overlying the Coombe Deposits; the latter, as at Greenhithe, consisting, in ascending order, of Coombe Rock, coarse gravel, brickearth, and stony loam containing ‘rafts’ of Coombe Rock.
