Water to the extent of about 2,000 gallons a day was obtained from 

 the shaft, and no further supply was yielded by the boring. Along 

 this range of cliffs, which extends to Whitlands and Bindon, the water 

 is naturally drained away, and wells are not always successful.' 



In the present record of strata all the beds classed as Upper 

 Greensand may be referred to the zone of Amm. rostratus, the 

 remaining 45J feet to the Gault. The borers were told to look out 

 for the pebbly basement-bed of that formation, but its presence was 

 not detected, neither was there any evidence to indicate that Lias 

 was reached. It is probable, therefore, that as the lowest clay was 

 sandy, the boring did not extend to the base of the Gault, although 

 the observations of Mr. "W. D. Lang at Black Yen show that the 

 pebbly basement-bed is there impersistent. On the face of Black Ven 

 the actual junction of the Gault with the Lower Lias lies at a height 

 of 315 feet above o.n., a height nearly 40 feet above that at Ware. 

 The latest measurements taken by Mr. Lang- at Black Yen show 

 that below the lowest bed of Cowstones there is about 39 feet of 

 argillaceous strata which may be classed as Gault, while at least 

 46 feet seems to be the thickness at Ware. 



The following Upper Greensand fossils were collected entirely from 

 the sandstone concretions or •' doggers ' which were brought up from 

 the well during the progress of sinking. None were obtained from the 

 boring.
