Note. Twenty foot of bed 7, consists of 7 layers of hard stone, 

 some of which are as much as 3ft. Gin. in thickness, these are 

 parted by thin seams of oolite sand. This rock presents also a 

 fine example of the smooth-faced " lissens " of the quarrymen. 

 The blocks of stone include largo specimens of Lima, Gervillia, 

 Belemnites, &c. 



It will be seen that here is nearly 90 feet of rock more or less 

 pisolitic at the point where the section was taken, namely, nearly 

 in the centre of the Crickley hill scarp, below the Koman en- 

 campment. 



Along the line of the slight dip of these beds, below the " Air 

 Baloon" public-house, these are superimposed by a corralline bed, 

 which has been erroneously pointed out as oolitic marl. 



After partaking of alas ! too sumptuous a dinner, at the Black 

 Horse, the health of Dr. Lanza, of Spalato, was drunk with cordi- 

 ality, when a paper was read by Dr. Voelcker, on the Chemistry 

 of ffcecent Eoman and Fossil Bones, with an addendum on the 

 Mineral Apatite, which has lately been largely imported from 

 Norway, and was referred to as likely to become of importance to 

 agriculture, from the large percentage of phospJwrus which it con- 

 tains. Any discussion, however, upon this valuable and interest- 

 ing paper, so nicely illustrated with specimens of fluoric acid 

 etchings, together with all chance of any other paper, was at once 

 put beyond all hope by a debate upon the dinner bill, which, 

 alas, somewhat abruptly terminated our Summer Meetings. 



Inundations in Antient Corinium.

" "When found, make a note of." 



Tins injunction of the worthy Captain Cuttle, as its frequent 

 quotation testifies, is capable of most extensive application ; and 

 if it be made to apply to our ordinary discoveries, where we find 

 out a use for this or that, or indeed to any truth that is patent to 

 us, to make a note thereof, not only fixes the matter in our 

 memory, but it furnishes us with a storehouse of knowledge for 

 frequent examination and comparison, like that which is presented 

 in a Geological Museum or in the ILprtus Siccus. In all cases these 

 scraps are so many specimens, which in their single selves may 

 tell us much, but conjointly may add to our knowledge in an 

 ever increasing ratio. 



It often happens with our notes as with our specimens, that a 

 few slight conclusions may at one time bo drawn from them, 

 when suddenly, from the addition of a now truth or a new speci- 

 men, things that before were nearly idle, assumed a new life and
