The lists of fossils have undergone a thorough revision by 

 Messrs. G. Sharman and E. T. Newton, who have also named the 

 additional specimens collected during the progress of the re- 

 survey. 



Professor T. Rupert Jones undertook the determination of the 

 Ostracoda, revised the lists of these Crustacea, and furnished 

 Table V., vs^hich gives a synoptical view of their distribution. We 

 are also indebted to Mr. J. Starkie Gardner for the account of 

 the Flora of the Bagshot Beds of Alum Bay, and to Mr. Car- 

 ruthers for looking over the lists (in MS.) o£ the plants of the 

 Secondary rooks. Mr. W. Hill kindly undertook the examination 

 under the microscope of nodules from the Upper Chalk of White- 

 cliff. Advantage was taken also of the intimate knowledge of 

 the Geology of the Isle of Wight possessed by Mr. Henry Keeping 

 to obtain his assistance in revising some of the detailed sections 

 of the Tertiary strata.
