The upper layer of bluish-green clay at this place seems un- 

 doubtedly to be the equivalent of the bed No. 20 (p. 77), with Corals 

 and Dentalia, at Stubbington, which I have taken as the highest of 

 the Bracklesham series at that place. The lower portion, which has 

 afforded, with very little working, the above list of species, does not 

 appear to have an equivalent fossil-bed there ; or, if it has, I have 

 overlooked it. The species are so decidedly of a Bracklesham type, 

 that I have no hesitation in classing the deposit as a part of that 

 series ; and, as I have premised when speaking of its limits, I am 

 obliged to extend the classification imder that head to beds above any 

 seen at Bracklesham Bay, where the section terminates with the 

 *' Clibs." Those " Clibs " are the equivalent of the Nummidina 

 variolaria bed, No. 16, of Stubbington, which is more than 30 feet 

 lower than the coral-bed corresponding with the upper part of the 

 Hunting Bridge Bed. Nevertheless the character of the matrix at 

 Hunting Bridge approaches more nearly to some of the Barton de- 

 posits than to any of the Bracklesham strata. 



Bramshaw ; She^phercVs Gutter. — The nature of the surface does 

 not admit of giving complete sections in the forest ; but the general 

 stratification of the district leaves no doubt of the last-mentioned 

 fossil-bed being followed in descending order by the Shepherd's 

 Gutter Bed, which is to be met with at Three-water Gutter, about 

 half a mile to the south-east of Hunting Bridge. The spot where 

 this bed was originally found on Shepherd's Gutter, and which is 

 indicated in Mr. Edwards's monographs as the '' Bramshaw" lo- 

 cality, may be found by drawing, on the Ordnance Map, a straight 

 line from the first "B" in "Burntford Bridge" to the " ZZ" in 

 *' Bramble Hill Lodge." 



Passing through some soft blue clay, the first part of the fossili- 

 fcrous bed reached, about a foot thick, is crowded with Turiitella ca- 

 rinifera in clay. Then we have a few inches of stiff blue clay, in which 

 occur Triton nodulosus, Edw. MS., and Pleurotoma ligata, and then 

 from three to four feet of very dark clayey sand, with abundant shells. 

 The larger shells are at the bottom of the bed. At the base is a layer 

 full of Pecten corneus and many specimens of Conus deperditus. 

 The whole rests on a dark-grey sand, with fragments of Pecten 

 corneus, which have lost their fresh brown tint. The Nmnmulina 

 variolaria is by no means uncommon in this bed, and is usually to
