|e pebble-bed of the Lower Greensand of Godalming 
has been already referred to (‘ Geologist,’ vol. vi. pp. 53,54) 
as a singular deposit, underlying the Bargate-stone series of 
that neighbourhood, remarkable alike on account of its peculiar 
organisms and its (probable) relation to other distant, though 
somewhat similar, beds; its position in the Greensand is fortu- 
nately well-marked, being immediately at the base of Fitton’s 
‘ Upper or Ferruginous division ;’ or, following the nomencla- 
ture of the Geological Survey, at the base of the ‘ Folkestone 
Beds.’ In composition, it may be roughly described as a mix- 
ture of sand and small subangular pebbles, either loosely bedded 
or variously concreted. Its thickness at Godalming varies 
considerably, thinning out rapidly to the south of the town, but 
increasing on the north, in approaching the Hogsback, to a 
thickness of 8 or 10 feet; occasionally passing into, and alter- 
nating with, the lower layers of the Bargate-stone. 
Hidden, for the most part, at its outcrop by surface-soil, or 
by the débris of the upper deposits, the pebble-bed around 
Godalming is but rarely to be seen unless by chance cut 
through in some quarry or lane-section. It is in this manner 
exposed in an old quarry or sand-pit on the side of a lane at 
Tewsley, to the south of Godalming, where it occurs as a band
