Geology of Wiltshire. 315 



The Diary here ends abruptly, and the writer, whose decaying 

 health has been frequently alluded to, died 21st July, 1723. His 

 son John intermarried with the family of Harvey, of Cole Park, 

 which accounts for the MS. being, amongst other memorials of the 

 Smith family, in the possession of Mr. Audley Lovell at this date. 

 It does not appear whether he had issue ; one thing is certain ; 

 Elizabeth Smith eventually the heiress of the Diarist, married 

 Robert Neale, Esq., of Corsham, and from that match descended 

 two co-heirs, her granddaughters, the eldest of whom Grace 

 Elizabeth, married Sir Harry Burrard, a name well known in our 

 naval annals. Upon his marriage he assumed the additional name 

 of Neale, and the arms, of the family ; and by purchase of the 

 other co-heir's moiety became owner of the entire Smith Estate 

 at Shaw. There is a pedigree of the Neales in the College of 

 Arms, setting forth their original emigration from the county of 

 Tyrone ; their settlement at Yate in Gloucestershire ; and the 

 several alliances which connected them with the commercial and 

 landed interests of the county of Wilts at the dates mentioned.

iHE Ordnance Geological Survey of the county of Wilts, has 

 grJ been for some time completed ; and as the Memoir which the 

 Government has published of sheet 34 embraces a considerable 

 portion of the northern part of the county, it has been thought 

 desirable to re-print an abstract of it in the Wiltshire Magazine. 

 The Local Director, Mr. Eamsay, F.R.S., Pres. Geol. Soc, has 

 kindly permitted casts to be taken of the woodcuts which illustrate 

 the volume, for use in the Magazine. 



An account of the Mammalian Drift of Wiltshire, by Mr. 

 Cunnington, was printed in vol. iv., p. 129, and a brief compendium 

 of Wiltshire Geology by Mr. Poulett Scrope, Vice-President, (at 

 that time President) appeared in the fifth volume of the Magazine.
