WEALDEN STRATA. 285 



stratum, along the southern coast of the Isle of 

 Wight. My attention has always been so much 

 engrossed by the interesting phenomena observ- 

 able in Brook Bay, which is at all times easy of 

 access, that I have had neither leisure nor incli- 

 nation to extend my researches to the east of the 

 point above mentioned. Dr. Fitton states that in 

 the cliff at " Tiepit and thence to Shepherd's Chine, 

 and within that chine and Cowlease Chine, the 

 Wealden clay and its passage to the sands beneath, 

 are better displayed than in any other localities."*
