Sections of the river-bed are given. The skulls came ‘“ from 
the lowest layer of the river-bed”’ overlying the London Clay.

Sir J. Prestwicn’s paper on the Valley of the Darent and on 
the Origin of the Chalk escarpment,* refers partly to the eastern 
margin of Surrey, into which the basin of the Darent runs. As, 
however, the paper mainly concerns Kent, we may be content 
with noting the special references to our county. 
The occurrence of rude flint implements on the high grounds 
of Titsey and Tatsfield is noted (p. 132). The high-level Limps- 
field gravel is treated of (pp. 137, &c.), and the brickearth of 
Limpsfield Common (pp. 145, 146). 
A description of an ‘Excursion to the Bagshot Country 
between Aldershot and Brookwood,’ with some notes on the 
gravels and the Bagshot Beds, appeared this year,t as also one 
of an “ Excursion to Leith Hill,’’ by our former member W. 
Topiry,{t in which the features of the country are noticed. 
Whether the specimens from which C. D. SHerzorn and 
H. W. Burrows drew up their ‘‘ Report on the Microscopical 
Examination of . . . London Clay from ... Cannon Street 
Railway Bridge’ § came from Surrey or from Middlesex is 
doubtful: anyhow, they came from the borderland of the river- 
bed. Twenty-five samples, in vertical order, are described, and 
many species of Foraminifera noted. 
In their paper ‘‘On some Recent Sections at Dulwich,” T. 
Leicuton and J. B. Ocxx || describe a section some 700 ft. long, 
of Woolwich and Reading Beds with Drift, in the grounds of 
the London and County Athletic Club. The old landmarks of 
Dulwich having mostly gone, and the description of sections seen 
many years ago not being in accord with modern topography, 
the authors have kindly translated three of my own notes of 
obsolete localities into the modern tongue, for which I heartily 
thank them. The Woolwich Beds noticed consist of mottled 
clay, underlain by clay shell-beds, underlain by sandy clay, and 
the Drift (brickearth, gravel and sand) rests irregularly on the 
upper two, at one place filling a pipe or channel. 
H. W. Monckton described’ an ‘‘ Excursion to Guildford,’ % 
giving an account of sections of the Bargate Stone, and of the 
succession of beds in the Lower Greensand. 
An ‘‘ Excursion to West Surrey’’** was also noticed, by W. H.
