Abstract
RECENT interest in the exploration of the continental shelf around the British Isles prompts us to report briefly on the findings of detailed geophysical surveys across Cardigan Bay and St George's Channel, made by the University of Birmingham between 1965 and 1967. A full account of this work is being prepared. The surveys have included 2,000 km of traverse with a shipborne gravimeter, 2,000 km with a seismic reflexion profiler and a number of seismic refraction lines with ranges up to 8 km.
