Walton (fig. 12), where a bed of unproductive sands overlies the shelly beds, and subtends them on to the London clay in a direction from N. to S.

3'. Upper Red Crag, yellow sands with a few patches of shells at base, 15 feet.

2. Lower Red Crag, shelly, 12 feet. l. London Clay.

The erosion of the lower division now becomes marked both to the eastward and northward of this place. Some well-marked instances may be seen in the cliff at Bawdsey (fig. 14), and again at Shottisham (fig. 15).
