Note. What extent of country the term " about " Coulsdon (D, Cooper) 

 may cover is uncertain ; it may include Caterham and Riddlesdown, as well 

 as Farthing Downs and Kenley Common. On Coulsdon Common there are 

 but few moory spots, and only one or two shallow pools. The weeds are 

 enclosed.

29. SUTTON AND BANSTEAD DOWNS, WITH BORDERING FIELDS. 



This section of the North Downs extends westwards from Croydon, and 

 attains near Banstead an altitude of five hundred and fifty feet. But 

 the rise is very gradual from the gravelly plain, which intervenes between 

 it and the southern heights of London. Towards Carshalton and Suit-on 

 the slopes are cultivated ; but the soil is poor and chalky. Banstead 

 Down is furze-grown ; in some parts the turf is composed of Helianthemum 

 and much cut up with rabbit holes ; westward the furze gives place to 

 Juniper, and beyond this, in the direction of Cheam and Epsom, are cul- 

 tivated fields. A branch railway from Sutton has been opened up to 

 Banstead and the racecourse on the Epsom Downs. Surface soil, gravel ; 

 subsoil, chalky grit with flint.
