The following notice is from the English Magazine of Natural 

 History, and was drawn up by Mr. Robert Bakewell, the well known 

 author of an excellent elementary vi^ork on Geology : 



" The collection consists principally of Fossil Organic Remains, 

 illustrative of the Geology of Sussex. They are in admirable pres- 

 ervation, and are very tastefully and judiciously arranged. Many of 

 the specimens in this collection are unrivalled and unique ; indeed, 

 we are entirely indebted to the scientific investigation of Mr. M. for 

 the knowledge of their existence ; for when he first commenced his 

 researches in the vicinity of Lewes, no fossil organic remains had 

 been collected there, nor had the quarry-men noticed them in the 

 beds in which they were working. Yet in the course of a {"ew years 

 Mr. M. succeeded in obtaining the finest collection of Chalk Fossils 

 in the kingdom ; many of them are described in a splendid work which 

 he published in 1 822, with forty -two plates, by his lady, Mrs. M. The 

 most important discoveries were made in the beds of Weald clay, 

 he. below the chalk and green sand formation. He observed that 

 though the latter strata, as is well known, contain exclusively^ the re- 

 mains of marine animals, the strata of the former contain almost ex- 

 clusively the remains of terrestrial plants, and shells analogous to 

 fresh-water shells, or the bones of vertebrated animals, some of which 

 were of enormous magnitude, and were evidently formed for walk- 

 ing on solid ground. The strata in which these are found must have 



* As the imperfect and undetermined species are not entimerated, the niimbef is 

 actually niucli greater.
