RATE OF EROSION OF THE SEA-COASTS OF ENGLAND AND WALES. 443 
merged Forests that generally occur beneath the beach where a stream 
flows into the sea, it does not include papers that merely give an account 
_ of cliff-sections or of raised beaches. 
; This list does not pretend to perfection, and notice of omissions will 
be thankfully received, so that any such may be included in a supplemen- 
_ tary list, in some future Report. Of course such sheets of the Geological 
: Survey Map as show sea-coast, give information on shore-deposits, but it 
hardly seems needful to mention each separately. 
I have to thank Mr. Topley for many of the 431 entries now made.
