Abstract
MANY times during the last twenty years I have been tempted to make the following communication. My house backs on to, and is partly built into, the old cliff at St. Leonards-on-Sea, and my back door opens on to a road cut into the face of the cliff. The road is well tar-macadamed and watertight. The esplanade at St. Leonards is wide, tar-gritted, and watertight, and it contains a number of ornamental flower-beds surrounded by low brick and cement walls, surmounted by cornices which overhang 2–3 in. The surfaces of the beds are about 12 in. below the top of the walls.
