* In support of iLu pifsumpuoii assumed in the note at page J.i."). that the Red Crag is not wluilly 

 derivative, it may be further remarked, that at the part of the cliff whence this specimen was obtained, 

 there arc no extraneous fossils whatever, at least none that I have been able to discover, which could be 

 decidedly said were foreign to tlic deposit. The shells here rest immediately upon;tlie London Clay, and 

 are in the highest state of perfection ; not only are there many Bivalves in their natural position, but the 

 numerous specimens of the reversed vaViety of Trophon antiquum have tbe fragile apex or pullus seldom or 

 never removed. Many species are also found that are not met with hi the Coralline Crag; though this 

 latter evidence is not of itself conclusive, it helps to sustain the argument deduced from the perfection of 

 the specimens. The whole aspect of the Fauna at this locality differs from that of the White^r Coralline 

 Crag ; the same also may be said of its lithological character, and, in my opinion, the probahilities are greatly 

 in favour of the Red Crag, certainly at Walton-on-the-Naze, being pure and genuine, and of an .Age 

 geologically subsequent to the Coralline Crag.
