The Eeport was adopted unanimously, on the motion of the

Mr. Whitley stated that in addition to the lists of 

 presents that had been read, he had a very large specimen of 

 the part of a trunk of a fossil tree, found deep in the lower 

 chalk at Eastbourne. Around the tree, and embedded in the 

 chalk itself, were a great many marine fossils. The rarity of 

 the thing was, that the chalk must have been deposited in the 

 deep sea far from any land, and for that reason the stock of a 

 tree was a very rare thing indeed to find in a chalk deposit. 

 He would also take the opportunity of mentioning that his son 

 at St. Columb had very fortunately hit upon the jar, alluded to 

 in the list read, at the village of Little Petherick, near Padstow. 

 It was said to have been found deep in the bed of the river, at 

 the head where the tide flows, at Little Petherick, and that it 

 belonged to the Arundels, a very ancient Cornish family. He 

 next referred to a number of neolithic celts, which were on the 

 table, and each of which was broken in two, as if by blows on 

 the side. They were found in the chalk at Eastbourne, and he 

 came to the conclusion that, as they were broken, the place 

 where they were discovered was probably the site of an ancient 

 British battle. 



Dr. Barham suggested that Mr. Whitley should go into 

 the details of the articles he had presented to the Institution, at 

 one of their monthly meetings. The jar, he believed, was very 

 similar to the oil jars which had been used from time out of 

 mind.
