tains the classification with the Cretaceous rather than with the 
Jurassic Series, which had been suggested. 
G. E. Distey. Zonal Features of the Chalk Pits in the 
Rochester, Gravesend, and Croydon Areas.* 
Pp. 490-492 are given to the Croydon District, with a short 
note of five great pits at Haling, Purley, Rose and Crown, 
Whyteleaf, and Oxted, the sites of which are marked on the map. 
In the list of fossils which follows, the occurrences in eight 
different zones are marked, as well as the localities. 
J. P. Jounson. Paleolithic Man in Valley of the Wandle.t 
Gives a good description of the gravel, under the four headings 
of Upper Terrace, Lower Terrace, Angular Detritus of Dry Val- 
leys, and Subangular Gravel of the Eocene Tract. There seems 
little to distinguish the gravel of the second and fourth headings. 
It is hardly right to say that the river ‘‘ flows entirely through 
a tract of soft Eocene strata,’ as, at first, from Croydon to Car- 
shalton, it is partly over Chalk. 
Whether the sandy Drift of Carshalton, which has been 
described to you,+ can be definitely said to be ‘‘a mass of 
re-arranged Kentish Tertiaries”’ is doubtful, Kentish being used 
presumably for ‘‘ Lower London.” 
The account of the Detritus of the Dry Valleys is the more 
valuable, as the deposit is not always shown on the Geological 
Survey Map. 
The record of a flint implement found by the author in a 
section in Miles Lane, Mitcham, and of two or three surface- 
- specimens, is all that strictly justifies the use of the term 
Paleolithic, although no geologist can doubt that it is rightly 
applied, as an age-term. 
This paper gave rise to a criticism, by Mr. Rosarts,§ and 
to some further notes by the author. || 
Our member Mr. W. M. Houmes read a paper to the Geological 
Society “‘On Radiolaria from the Upper Chalk at Coulsdon,” 
which greatly extends our knowledge in that matter. 
Radiolaria are of rare occurrence in the Chalk of England, 
those hitherto recorded being from the ‘‘ Cambridge Greensand,”’ 
which is the basal bed of the Chalk, and from the Melbourne 
Rock, which is the base of the Middle Chalk. 
The specimens described came from cavities of two flints 
thrown out from the new railway-cutting southward of Coulsdon 
station, which has been carefully watched by Mr. Holmes and
