  PRICE 
  ON 
  THE 
  GATTLT 
  OF 
  FOLKESTONE.

  between 
  the 
  two 
  lines 
  of 
  nodnles, 
  crushed 
  bodies 
  which 
  have 
  been 
  

   supposed 
  by 
  some 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  eggs 
  of 
  a 
  species 
  of 
  turtle 
  ; 
  they 
  are 
  

   more 
  or 
  less 
  round, 
  possessing 
  the 
  texture 
  of 
  egg-shells. 
  Mr. 
  J. 
  S. 
  

   Gardner 
  has 
  two 
  specimens 
  in 
  his 
  collection; 
  and 
  I 
  have 
  one, 
  

   which 
  I 
  showed 
  to 
  Mr. 
  J. 
  "W. 
  Hulke, 
  who 
  reported 
  that 
  he 
  did 
  not 
  

   think 
  it 
  was 
  a 
  Chelonian 
  egg 
  at 
  all, 
  but 
  that 
  of 
  a 
  crocodile, 
  and 
  

   that 
  in 
  the 
  coarse 
  pitting 
  of 
  the 
  shell 
  it 
  most 
  resembles 
  that 
  of 
  

   Crocodilus 
  biporcatus. 
  

   The 
  following 
  fossils 
  may 
  be 
  considered 
  peculiar 
  to 
  this 
  bed 
  :

  Goniaster, 
  Bp. 
  Astarte, 
  sp. 
  {A. 
  omalioides, 
  J. 
  S. 
  Gardn. 
  

  

  Kingena 
  lima, 
  D' 
  Orb. 
  MS.). 
  

  

  Hinnites, 
  sp. 
  

  

  Many 
  teeth 
  and 
  dorsal 
  spines 
  of 
  Hybodus, 
  and 
  teeth 
  of 
  Otodus 
  

   appendiculatus, 
  are 
  found 
  in 
  it. 
  

  

  From 
  the 
  frequency 
  of 
  occurrence 
  of 
  Kingena 
  lima, 
  D'Orb., 
  in 
  

   this 
  zone, 
  I 
  adopt 
  the 
  conclusion 
  arrived 
  at 
  by 
  Mr. 
  De 
  Ranee, 
  and 
  

   propose 
  to 
  name 
  the 
  bed 
  the 
  zone 
  of 
  Kingena 
  lima. 
  

  

  Bed 
  XL 
  

  

  This 
  bed 
  consists 
  of 
  a 
  marl 
  of 
  a 
  cold 
  pale 
  grey 
  colour, 
  traversed 
  

   by 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  partings, 
  the 
  smooth 
  portions 
  between 
  which 
  are 
  

   coated 
  over 
  with 
  a 
  smear 
  of 
  oxide 
  of 
  iron. 
  Some 
  difficulty 
  was 
  

   experienced 
  in 
  finding 
  the 
  whole 
  of 
  this 
  bed 
  in 
  situ, 
  though 
  equal 
  

   in 
  thickness 
  to 
  more 
  than 
  half 
  the 
  Gault. 
  We 
  therefore 
  measured 
  

   from 
  the 
  seam 
  of 
  phosphatic 
  nodules 
  containing 
  Pecten 
  Baulinianus, 
  

   the 
  base 
  of 
  bed 
  XL, 
  up 
  to 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  dark 
  greensand 
  seam 
  

   which 
  traverses 
  this 
  bed, 
  and 
  found 
  that 
  it 
  had 
  a 
  thickness 
  of 
  35 
  

   feet 
  6 
  inches. 
  This 
  measurement 
  was 
  taken 
  in 
  that 
  part 
  of 
  East- 
  

   weir 
  Bay, 
  eastward 
  of 
  Copt 
  Point, 
  known 
  as 
  the 
  Pelter. 
  

  

  As 
  the 
  upper 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  greensand 
  seam 
  was 
  wanting 
  at 
  this 
  

   point, 
  it 
  having 
  slipped 
  off 
  together 
  with 
  the 
  upper 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  bed, 
  

   we 
  went 
  slightly 
  to 
  the 
  east 
  of 
  Copt 
  Point, 
  and 
  southwards 
  of 
  Mar- 
  

   tello 
  Tower 
  No. 
  3, 
  where 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  Gault 
  is 
  in 
  situ, 
  capped 
  by 
  

   the 
  Upper 
  Greensand. 
  We 
  found 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  greensand 
  seam 
  

   by 
  excavating 
  a 
  trench 
  down 
  the 
  cliff-side 
  ; 
  we 
  then 
  took 
  measure- 
  

   ments 
  of 
  this 
  seam 
  (which, 
  I 
  may 
  mention, 
  Griffiths 
  calls 
  the 
  "Middle 
  

   Greensand," 
  by 
  no 
  means 
  an 
  inappropriate 
  term), 
  and 
  found 
  that 
  it 
  

   had 
  a 
  thickness 
  of 
  3 
  feet 
  3 
  inches. 
  From 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  this 
  seam 
  to 
  

   the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  Upper 
  Greensand 
  was 
  found 
  to 
  measure 
  17 
  feet 
  

   6 
  inches, 
  thus 
  giving 
  a 
  thickness 
  of 
  56 
  feet 
  3 
  inches 
  for 
  bed 
  XL, 
  

   and 
  a 
  total 
  thickness 
  for 
  the 
  whole 
  deposit 
  of 
  99 
  feet 
  4 
  inches. 
  

  

  In 
  this 
  greensand 
  large 
  quantities 
  of 
  nodules 
  occur 
  in 
  lines, 
  which 
  

   may 
  be 
  pyriform 
  sponges 
  ; 
  also 
  a 
  small 
  species 
  of 
  Inoceramus 
  (per- 
  

   haps 
  a 
  young 
  form 
  of 
  concentricus), 
  Aporrhais 
  Orbignyana, 
  Trocho- 
  

   cyaihus 
  conulus, 
  Pecten 
  orbicularis, 
  Belemnites 
  ultimus, 
  Ammmonites 
  

  

  Goodhalli, 
  Avicula 
  gryphceoides, 
  Pollicipes 
  ?, 
  and 
  Plicatida 
  sigil- 
  

  

  lina, 
  fixed 
  to 
  Ammonites, 
  an 
  Ammonite 
  allied 
  to 
  A. 
  lautus, 
  Dre- 
  

   phanephorus 
  canaliculatus, 
  IcJitJiyosaurus 
  campylodon, 
  &c. 
  

  

  The 
  Gault 
  immediately 
  above 
  this 
  greensand 
  seam 
  is 
  of 
  the 
  same
