INTRODUCTION. 
“ce, Wadhurst Clay.’ Consisting of 
dark-blue shales and clays, inter- 
calated with thin slabs of sand- 
stone, also sand-rock, with ‘blue 
stone’ at base. 
“b. Ashdown Sands. Thick beds of 
sandstone, divided by thin layers 
of shales and clays. 
‘6a. Fairlight Clays. Clays and shales 
predominating, but with some beds 
of sandstone and ironstone; these 
latter yielding, very locally, Ferns, 
Cycads and Conifers. 
‘‘Norzr.—The general course of the 
ancient Wealden River, as evidenced by 
the ripple-marks (which would naturally 
be found parallel to the stream), and 
also by the trend of scattered remains, 
such as the bones of individual animals, 
trunks of trees, and other débris, appears 
to have taken a direction in the neigh- 
bourhood of Hastings from N.E. to S.W. 
Consequently the coast section would 
be obliquely across the bed of the 
river, and this fact may account for 
the very limited extent of outcropping 2447098219 
fossiliferous beds.”’
