older than A, which are newer than a, and cannot therefore 

 be older than early Glacial, or may be Pre-Glacial. There is 

 a limit also to the age of a, inasmuch as it overlies in place 

 a crag of Diestian age. 



I have gone more fully into the Submergence question and 

 some of its effects in a paper which is just passing through my 

 hands, and will be published by Macmillan. 



In the meantime, it will be a pleasure to me to answer any 

 other questions that may arise ; and I am very truly yours, 



JOSEPH PRESTWICH. 



It had become an established practice with the Rev. 

 Ashington Bullen, the Vicar of Shoreham, when absent 

 at the sea-side for a brief holiday, to prosecute inquiries 

 for the veteran. The following letter refers to a visit 

 paid by Mr JBullen to Bournemouth : 



J. Prestwich to the Rev. R. A. JBullen. 



DARENT-HULME, 24th May 1895. 



DEAR MR BULLEN, Thanks for notes and particulars. Do 

 not, however, trouble about mineral and structural particulars of 

 the Gravels. I have them all in my note-books. All that is 

 wanted is to supplement them by two inquiries : 



1. Do any implements of the plateau type occur in the high- 

 level Gravels, such as St Catherine's Hill ? 



2. Do any fluviatile shells occur in the Gravel referred to the 

 Old Solent river ? 



These questions were not mooted when I last worked in the 

 district. Besides St Catherine's Hill you will find the high-level 

 Gravels on Canon Hill and Hampreston Heath, on the N.E.
