 The stratification determined by the boring- appears to be as follows : — 



Clay 50 feet. 



Sand 50 



Chalk without flints, soft and marly 100 



Chalk with flints in layers of single stones, distant about a yard from 



each other 330 



Grey chalk, with now and then a layer of white chalk, free from flints. . 60 

 Light bright blue chalk, rather approaching to clay, with white chalk 



stones 20 



Sand 5 



615 feet. 



It could not be ascertained whether there was any organized matter in the 

 chalk, as the tools ground everything to powder.
