These strata\\nare separated by beds of clay, the clay often mixed with\\nheavy deposits of silica, but often again so free from ad-\\nmixture as to furnish material for the manufacturers of\\nbuilder s and firebrick, of drainage pipes, and of pottery.\\nTlie upper stratum of sand crops out along the valleys in\\nbeds of the purest glass sand a circumstance which gave\\nrise to one of the earliest and largest of the industries\\nof the region. Above the upper clay level there lies a\\nsubsoil of red gravelly loam from ten to sixty feet in\\nthickness, variously called drift, or yellow-gravel. This\\ngravel is composed of quartz pebbles and feldspathic\\nrock, in places concreted into free ironstone.
