conducted over the pits by Mr. A. C. Hinton, who explained that the 
gravel shown lying upon the Chalk was that known as the high 
Terrace of the Thames valley, being 90 to 100 ft. above O.D. The 
implements found or obtained from the workmen were almost all 
sharp and unrolled. In the sands and gravel of an adjoining pit 
forming part of the same terrace, a large number of Neritina flwvia- 
tilis and Corbicula flwminalis, with other shells, were found. 
October 12th.—l'o Thornton Heath railway cutting. Conductor, 
W. Whitaker, Esq., F.R.S., &. The party, numbering about fifteen, 
met at 5, Buleanak Road, where Mr. Towse showed mammalian 
remains found in gravel in the cutting about one hundred and fifty 
yards north of Brigstock Road, and at a depth of about 20 ft. The 
remains consisted of molars, some rolled and some unrolled, of 
Elephas antiquus, E. primigenius, bones of Elephas, and a tooth of 
Equus caballus. The gravel abuts on the London Clay escarpment, 
and, following the line to the north, gradually rises to the surface, 
being in some places interstratified with, and in others covered by a 
wash of clay in which are tertiary pebbles.

opened at Thornton Heath, and further discoveries of mammalian 
bones have taken place there since the visit of the Section.
