* A vast number of these bones, the most inde- evidence, that the Phosphatic nodules there met 

 structible parts of the whales' skeleton, are accu- with may have been derived from the decompo- 

 mulated in this stratum at Felixstow near Tps- sition of animal matter. I believe these fossil 

 wich, and, together with the sharks' teeth which tympana are the earliest records we have of the 

 are found in the same locality, supply abundant existence of the whale in our seas.
