About 200 yards to the westward of this place, in Chiswick Road, 

 on the other side of the Kensington and Richmond railway, and be- 

 tween it and the Brentford Road, another cutting for the foundation 

 of a house showed the stratification represented in Section K (fig. 7),

consisting of :— Surface-soil, 2 feet ; brick-earth, 2 ft. 9 in. to 3 feet ; 

 seams of clay and sand, 1 foot ; gravel, 4^ feet ; and 4| feet of sand 

 with rounded and angular pebbles ; and the London Clay at 15 feet ; 

 close to which, in the sand, at about a foot from the bottom, animal- 

 remains were also found, as in Brown's Orchard. This was, I believe, 

 some little distance to the eastward of the spot examined by Professor

 that this ground is on a slight rise in the mid terrace, forming the 

 watershed between the Brent and the Acton brook, tributaries of the 

 Thames. Throughout this district, over probably more than half a 

 square mile in extent, wherever the London Clay is reached, animal- 

 remains in'great abundance are found above it, and always, I believe, 

 in close proximity to the clay. Careful search was made here, as in
