The fossils in this section were almost all contained in the three 
shell beds overlying the mottled clay, but there were traces of 
leaf-remains in the clays of B. 
Mr. E. T. Newton, F.R.S., has kindly examined the fossils for 
me, and determined them as follows :— 
B.—Clay......seeeee Cyrena, sp. 
Melania. 
C.—Shell bed. .... Cyrena cuneiformis. 
Cerithiwm. 
Melania. 
D.—Oyster bed. I preserved no specimens from 
this bed, which was a hard 
shelly rock, composed almost 
entirely of Ostrea tenera. 
F.—Shell bed. ... Ostrea bellovacina ? 
Cerithiwm funatum. 
Cyrena cuneiformis. 
Comparing this section with that at Loampit Hill,* the upper 
beds appear to almost reach the lowest beds exposed in the 
L. B. & 8. C. R.’s New Cross cutting, so that the sections at 
that place and this give us practically a complete section from 
the lower beds of the London Clay to the Thanet Sand. 
IT am favoured by Mr. Riley with the following sections from 
bore-holes made at the works :— 
40°02 ft. above O.D. sp, qy, 38°40 ft. above O. D. pp, qy.
