174 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL, SOCIETY. [NoV. 30, 



culata, C. spinigera, Cyclas media, Cyrena, Paludma fiuviorum, 

 P. carinifera, with Lignite and imperfect Plants. The rich iron- 

 stones (No. 1 6 of the Quarry section) also contain numerous casts 

 of Paludince. 



"We have placed, provisionally, the beds Nos. 13, 14, and 15 of the 

 General Section (see infra) above those of the Black Horse Quarry, 

 the thin bed of sandstone at the top of the quarry appearing to corre- 

 spond with a part of the lowest of Mantell's " Horsted beds." 



The ironstone No. 14 of the General Section occurs on the 

 shore, at Bexhill, near the site of Tower No. 45 : during a brief visit, 

 it afforded us a few imperfect elytra, two or three ? small varieties of 

 Equisetum, and numerous other plants. 



The small elytra No. 60 were also found at Bexhill, associated 

 with lionchoipteris Mantelli, in abundance, in the bed No. 15 6 of 

 the General Section. 



The appended General Section is merely intended as an approxi- 

 mative tabular view (in descending order) of the general relations of 

 the beds from which we have obtained Insects, until these, and the 

 relations of the whole group, shall have been more completely deter- 

 mined.
