376 REPORT—1890. 
The following list embodies the emendations, and represents the sum 
of our present knowledge of the fauna. The Committee desires to express 
its great obligation to Mr. E. T. Newton for his kindness in undertaking 
the examination of the specimens.

The stratigraphical relation of the deposits was fully discussed in our 
previous report, and on this point no further information has been gained 
excepting that the identification of the boulder-clay overlapping the Cliff- 
beds as the Basement Clay has been confirmed by the discovery of a 
characteristic transported fragment of fossiliferous clay and sand (‘ Brid- 
lington Crag’) in the boulder-clay overlying the chalk in the cliff at 
South Sea Landing, two miles east of the Buried Cliff. 
The fauna, as above recorded, still unfortunately remains without any 
distinctive species to show whether the beds may date back to the com- 
mencement of the glacial period, or whether, as has been suggested, they 
are really interglacial. The opinion of the writer, as expressed in a
