SUMMARY Moment measures are to be preferred over graphic measures for a reliable description of the depositional environment of sands. This is demonstrated by coarse beach and river sands from the Ria de Arosa (northwestern Spain). A PL/1 computerprogram for the calculation of graphic and moment measures has been added to stimulate other comparative studies.
