SUMMARY
In a small village Potc:pa situated in the valley 01 Mala Panew stream, Upper Silesia, a layer of peat was found at the depth of 8.2 m when drilling was made in river sands. Palinologic studies showed that the peat was formed under, cool and humid climate by the end or the beginning of interglacial or interstadiaL
The layer of peat is covered with 20 cm loam layer. In the author's opinion the loam layer repre-sents solifluction stream, shifted down the slope of situated nearby inlier built of boulder clay of maxi-mum stage of Mid-Polish Glaciation. Similar inter-calations 01 solifluction loams, dated at the Baltic (Warm) Glaciation, were , found in the Klodnica stream valley (Jahn 1955) as well as in the Mala Panew stream valley, at similar depths, close to highland slope. The loams lack camponents less resistant to weathering, which confirms their soli-fluction origin. The loam horizon, situated at the depth of apout ,10 m, separates underlying fluvial sands dated at the end of the Eemian Interglacial and overlying fluvial sands dated at the Baltic (Wiirm) Glaciation.
To sum up, the peats were formed by the end of the Eemian Interglacial or'during cool interstadial of early part of the Baltic (Wiirm) Glaciation.
Po przykryciu torf6w przez osad sol1flukcyjny rzeka osadzila jeszcze 8 'm piask6w, a nast~Die
wy-erodowala nowe, holocenskie koryto. Sytuacja taka wyklucza. by torty mogly pochodzic ze schylku zlo-dowacenia baltyckiego, rn:.dz z holocenu., Stanowisko torf6w w Po~pie jest 0 tyle cenne, te pozwolllo na udokumentowanie wielkosci zasypania dolin rzecz-nych w okresie zlodowacenia baHyckiego.
