64 HAMPSTEAD HILL. 



LISTS OF FOSSILS FROM THE LONDON CLAY OF THE 

 PARISH OF HAMPSTEAD.^ 



The following Lists of Fossils (except that of the Child's Hill 

 species) have been compiled from the "Geology of the London 

 Basin," by Mr. Whitaker ; the papers in the "Transactions" and 

 " Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society," by Professor Prest- 

 wich ; the " Monographs of the Palseontographical Society," by 

 Professor Bell, Charles Darwin, F. E. Edwards, Professor Rupert 

 Jones, and Searles V. Wood. 



I have also taken advantage of the recently completed splendid 

 arrangement of Type Collections of Mr. Wetherell and Mr. 

 Edwards in the British Museum, facilities for the examination of 

 which have been very kindly afforded me by the chiefs of the 

 Geological Department, Dr. Woodward and Mr. Etheridge. My 

 especial thanks are due to these gentlemen for giving me access 

 to the MS. records of the British Museum not hitherto published, 

 from which many of Mr. Edwards's species have been obtained. 



The Child's Hill list is from an examination of the collection 

 of the late Mr. Caleb Evans, together with MS. records which 

 have been most kindly placed at my disposal by his brother, Mr. 

 John Evans. These records have been of service also in the 

 completion of the Haverstock Hill list. 



The nomenclature of the Foraminifera is the most recent and 

 given on the authority of Messrs. Sherborn and Chapman, " Journal 

 Roy. Micro. Soc," series 2, vol. vi.

 &c., in the "Transactions of the Middlesex Natural History Society" for 1886-7.
