Note.—Twenty feet of bed 7, consists of 7 layers of hard stone, 
some of which are as much as 8ft. Gin. in thickness, these are 
parted by thin seams of oolite sand. This rock presents also a 
fine example of the smooth-faced “lissens” of the quarrymen. 
The blocks of stone include large specimens of Lima, Gervillia, 
Belemnites, &c. 
It will be seen that here is nearly 90 feet of rock more or less 
pisolitic at the point where the section was taken, namely, nearly 
in the centre of the Crickley hill scarp, below the Roman en- 
campment. 
Along the line of the slight dip of these beds, below the “ Air 
Baloon” public-house, these are superimposed by a corralline bed, 
which has been erroneously pointed out as oolitic marl. 
After partaking of alas! too sumptuous a dinner, at the Black 
Horse, the health of Dr. Lanza, of Spalato, was drunk with cordi- 
ality, when a paper was read by Dr. Voelcker, on the Chemistry 
of Recent Roman and Fossil Bones, with an addendum on the 
Mineral Apatite, which has lately been largely imported from 
Norway, and was referred to as likely to become of importance to 
agriculture, from the large percentage of phosphorus which it con- 
tains. Any discussion, however, upon this valuable and interest- 
ing paper, so nicely illustrated with specimens of fluoric acid 
etchings, together with all chance of any other paper, was at once 
put beyond all hope by a debate upon the dinner bill, which, 
alas, somewhat abruptly terminated our Summer Meetings.

‘¢ When found, make a note of.” 
Tus injunction of the worthy Captain Cattle, as its frequent 
quotation testifies, is capable of most extensive application ; and 
if it be made to apply to our ordinary discoveries, where we find 
out a use for this or that, or indeed to any truth that is patent to 
us, to make a note thereof, not only fixes the matter in our 
memory, but it furnishes us with a storehouse of knowledge for 
frequent examination and comparison, like that which is presented 
in a Geological Museum or in the Hortus Siccus. In all cases these 
scraps are so many specimens, which in their single selves may 
tell us much, but conjointly may add to our knowledge in an 
ever increasing ratio. 
It often happens with our notes as with our specimens, that a 
few slight conclusions may at one time be drawn from them, 
when suddenly, from the addition of a new truth or a new speci- 
men, things that before were nearly idle, assumed a new life and
