Proceedings. 65 
June 26.—Redhill and Merstham. Conductor, Miss Crosfield. 
About 35 members collected on the grass outside Redhill 
Station, where the Rev. Henry Brass gave a short lecture on 
the general geological structure of the district. He mentioned 
that the strata found in the area were—the Chalk, Upper 
Greensand, Gault, Lower Greensand (with its sub-divisions), 
and the Weald Clay ; that at some period these beds had been 
upheaved into an anticlinal fold, and that subsequently they 
had been denuded by the sea and subaerial agents, the harder 
beds standing out as escarpments and the softer being worn 
away into valleys. Geological maps and sections illustrated the 
remarks. 
The party was then joined by about 35 members of the 
_ Geologists’ Association, under the guidance of G. J. Hinde, 
 Ph.D., F.R.S., and W. Whitaker, B.A., F.R.S. The whole 
company first visited the Fullers’ Earth pits close to the station. 
The subject of the position of the Fullers’ Earth in the Lower 
Greensand was raised. Mr. Whitaker stated that the series 
was so distinct that, whatever its exact position might be, it 
_ deserved recognition in the mapping of the district. Specimens 
_ of “heavy spar” were collected, and casts of Trigonia and an 
 echinoderm were found. The bed of Fullers’ Harth in this pit 
is about 14 feet thick. 
__ The party proceeded by a footpath northward, passing a small 
~ cutting in which the Fullers’ Earth is brought up again to the 
surface by faults. 
__ At Frenches sand-pit, which was the next point of geological 
interest, brown brick-earth is seen lying on Folkestone sand. 
_ Fragments of bone and a small shell (Pupa) were found. 
_ The following (p. 66) is a detailed section of the bed as it 
_ appeared three months later, soon after the discovery of the upper 
- molar of a mammoth by one of Mr. R. Trower’s workmen. ' 
_ From here the party walked to Battlebridge, where the Drift 
_ was found resting on Gault. Search was made for fossils in 
the Gault and the following species were found—Ammonites 
_ interruptus and Belemnites minimus. 
_ The next pit to be visited was at the junction of Battlebridge
