 quent). 



No. 3 Bore. — Depth, 23^ feet ; brown lumpy clay ; requires some force 

 to break it up, but in the dry state it dissolves readily in water ; mud, 34 

 per cent. ; sand, 60 per cent. ; gravel, 6 per cent. 



Flocots contain some vegetable matter, amongst it some bits of rece»t 

 green moss, and one little animal, probably alive when packed in the 

 parcel. Mica scales plentiful ; no fossil animal remains noticed. 



No. 3 Bore. — Depth, 27^ feet; grey clay, dissolved freely in water; 

 mud, 65 per cent. ; grey sand, 30 per cent. ; gravel, 5 per cent. All 

 very small with the exception of one stone about the size of a boy's marble, 

 spherical, and well polished. 



No. 4 Bore. — Depth, 7 feet ; muddy sand in lumps, brown coloured; 

 dissolved readily in water ; mud, 60 per cent. ; sand, 24 per cent. ; gravel, 

 14 per cent. 



'Floats. — No animal remains in the floats. 



No. 4 Bore. — Depth, 25 feet. All gravel, mostly angular, the largest 

 weighed 4 oz. This sample was so free of mud that it required no wash- 

 ing or looking for fossil remains. 



No. 5 Bore. — Depth, 9 feet ; rough gravel and sand ; ' stones and a 

 little small gravel ' ; the stones are mostly water- worn ; one of them is well- 

 rounded and smoothly polished. Like the above it needs no washing. 



No. 5 Bore. — Depth, 21 feet ; ' brown clay and stones.' Brown clay not 

 difficult to break when dry ; one little piece, about the size of a small 

 apple, much whiter and greatly harder than the rest. It did not seem to 

 belong to the same bore — the other clay dissolved freely. Mud, 61 per 

 cent. ; sand, 24 per cent. ; gravel and small stones, 15 per cent., mostly 

 angular. 



Floats. — No animal remains. 



No. 6 Bore. — Depth, 21 to 24 feet ; * hard bound sand and a little fine 

 gravel ' ; mud, 24 per cent. ; sand, 73 per cent. ; gravel and coarse sand, 

 3 per cent. 



ECHINODERMATA. 



Order Echinoidce. — Echinus spine, one fragment, probably E. Dro- 

 bachiensis. 



Spatangus sp., one spine whole.

 readily in water ; mud, 76 per cent. ; sand, 16 per cent. ; gravel and 

 coarse sand, 8 per cent. 



Floats. — Very poor — a few mica scales and a little vegetable matter 

 and one crustacean. 



Crustacea. 

 Order Ostracoda. — Schrochilus contortus, Norman. 



No. 7 Bore. — Depth, 8 to 9 feet; 'hardbound sand' ; the first and second
