The following 1 notice is from the English Magazine of Natural 
History, and was drawn up by Mr. Robert Bakewell, the well known 
author of an excellent elementary work on Geology : 
“ The collection consists principally of Fossil Organic Remains, 
illustrative of the Geology of Sussex. They are in admirable pres- 
ervation, and are very tastefully and judiciously arranged. Many of 
€ specimens in this collection are unrivalled and unique ; indeed, 
we are entirely indebted to the scientific investigation of Mr, M. fer 
the knowledge of their existence ; for when he. first commenced his 
researches in the vicinity of Lewes, no fossil organic remains 
been collected there, nor had the quarry-men noticed them in the 
beds in which they were working. Yet in the course of a few years 
Mr. M. succeeded in obtaining the finest collection of Chalk Fossils 
in the kingdom; many of them are described in a splendid work which 
he published in 1822, with forty-two plates, by his lady, Mrs. M. The 
most important discoveries were made in the beds of Weald clay, 
&c. below the chalk and green sand formation. He observed that 
though the latter strata, as is well known, contain exclusively the re- 
mains of marine animals, the strata of the former contain almost ex- 
clusively the remains of terrestrial plants, and shells analogous t0 
fresh-water shells, or the bones of vertebrated animals, some of which 
were oi enormous magnitude, and were evidently formed for walk- 
ing on ‘solid pround. The strata in which these are found must have
