4. — Notice of Fossils found in the Bognor Rocks. By Woodbine Parish, jun., 

 Esq., Sec.G.S. [Read January 7th, 1835.] 



The author. Woodbine Parish, Esq., inaletter addressed toG.B.Greenough, 

 Esq., President of the Society, states that in consequence of the destruction for 

 the purposes of building, of such parts of the Bog-nor rocks, as are accessible, 

 specimens of Nautilus, formerly abundant, are becoming- rare. Toge- 

 ther with his communication he forwards a collection and a list of the Bognor 

 fossils. 



The author also notices that about a mile to the east of Bognor, and in front 

 of the village of Felpham, chalk is exposed for a considerable distance cropping 

 out of the sands between high and low water mark ; and at low water it may 

 be traced for upwards of a mile in the direction of Middleton. It abounds, he 

 states, in its characteristic fossils, of some of which he gives a list. Where the 

 chalk first appears, it is almost as hard as stone, and is thickly interspersed with 

 flints ; further on il becomes soft, and the flints are not so numerous. 



Chalk marl has long been dug out of the beach near Middleton, at low tides, 

 for manuring the neighbouring beds.
