Online: The BGS memoirs for South Wales

I have hunted for these (mostly old) Geological Survey Memoirs online, many times, without finding them.. ..... Now I have discovered them, and below I post the links. They ARE very valuable, since they record in great detail the observations of the old geology field surveyors -- free of any great theorising. Most of the observations are from the early 1900's -- before there were major transformations of the landscape through urban expansion and agricultural "improvement." There is a lot of data in these old documents. In each one the superficial deposits are described towards the end of the volume. 

In checking out the geology of particular sites, I often use these memoirs together with the Geology of Britain Viewer:

Individual memoirs -- various editions.  The authors for West Wales included Cantrill, Strahan, Thomas, Jones, and Dixon -- good field geologists, all of them.....

Note:  Memoirs were never published for the two map areas in which we are most interested -- 209 St David's and 210 Fishguard.  Not sure why........

PS.  There are problems with these links -- a common issue with Blogger.  I am trying to sort out where the problems lie........
