 made under my direction ( 1858) for the Gosport Water-works Com- 

 pany, at Bury ( Iross, about one mile and a quarter weal of the t"\\ n. 

 It is, I believe, the most carefully observed, as well as one of the

 at two places, though only a few hundred yards apart] and frequently 

 tin' omission altogether of one or other <>t' the strata shows that \. n 

 consult rable disturbing causee must have been in operation either at 

 the period of the formation of these deposits or subsequently!

 the section at from 33 feel 1 inch to 87 feel •'{ in. bee, tic tine series
