Whilst we were working out the Westbury deposit," 
Mr S. S. Buckman informed us that a section of great 
interest had been noted by Messrs L. Richardson and T. 
Pears on the banks of the Thames at Clifton Hampden, 
Oxfordshire. In answer to our request for material a 
large quantity was sent by Mr Richardson, who also 
kindly furnished us with details of the sections. 
Unfortunately only a small sample of the lowest bed 
had been obtained, and up to the present it has been 
impossible to procure more owing to the state of the river. 
This is to be regretted, since the lower bed is undoubtedly 
of great importance. However, from even the small 
quantity of material sent, a goodly list of species was 
obtained, the total number being 54 :—Bed A yielding 30, 
Bed B, 49, and Bed C, 26. It is not often that in these 
recent deposits any marked superposition of beds occurs, 
hence the importance of the Clifton Hampden section. 
As might be expected, the aquatic and semi-aquatic forms 
are in the majority, the number of species being 39 ; whilst 
of land molluscs only 15 species were noted.
