J36 Mr. Trimmer's Account of some organic Remains 



because, in no instance have two bones been found together 

 which were joined in the living animal ; and further, that the 

 bones are not in the least worn, as must have been the case 

 had they been exposed to the wash of a sea beach. 



In the third stratum, viz. calcareous loam, have been found 

 the horns, bones, and teeth of the deer, the bones and teeth 

 of the ox, together with snail shells and the shells of river 

 fish. 



Brentford, in the neighbourhood of which are the fields I 

 have mentioned, is situated on the north bank of the Thames, 

 and is six miles west of London. 



The fall of the Thames from Brentford to its mouth at the 

 Nore,* is estimated at seven feet. 



I have the honour to be, 

 with great respect, Sir, 

 your much obliged 



and obedient humble servant, 



WM. KIRBY TRIMMER, 



Brentford.
