Well-sinking, No. t. — The section noticed in the well 

 on the Golf Course (No. i on map, fig. i) has been described 

 elsewhere (Geol. Mag., 1909, p. 119) ; it will suffice, therefore, 

 to say that the thickness of the Great Oolite beds displayed 

 above the Fullers' Earth was 31 feet 8 inches.

Well-sinking, No. 3. — This well is situated in the Kings- 

 wood School playing-field, and I am indebted to Mr Workman, 

 the head-master, for allowing me to watch the progress of the 

 sinking. When the well-sinking reached the Fullers' Earth, 

 the first spring burst out, but the sinking was continued to 

 23 feet 6 inches into the Fullers' Earth.

The highest beds exposed in the well must be very near 

 the top of the Great Oolite, because at a very slightly higher 

 horizon, at the end of the same field, is a quarry in the 

 Forest Marble.
