The many references and extracts in the present work from 

 this splendid volume, sufficiently attest its value. The Reader 

 must bear in mind, that the freshwater character of the " Iron 

 sands" of Sussex, Kent, and Surrey, was unknown to Mr. Webster 

 at the period of Sir H. Englefield's publication ; and that the 

 series of deposits now denominated the Wealden, comprises the 

 " Iron or ferruginous sands " below the clays and Sussex marbles, 

 under the name of Hastings sands : while the ferruginous sands 

 between the Weald-clay and the Gait, belong to the Greensand 

 group . 



II. Dr. Fitton's Memoir, to which reference has so often been 

 made in the preceding pages, is published in Vol. I V. new series 

 of the Transactions of the Geological Society of London; and
