A recent examination of drift deposits south of Edinburgh has revealed the presence of boulder clay overlying fluvio-glacial sands and graveis. This does not appear to have been the subject of any previous publication. The relevant exposures are almost entirely in working sandpits, and are liable to be obscured soon after the latter are abandoned. Accordingly it is thought worth while to place on record a description of the sections at present available for examination.
