216 Mr. Mantell's Tabular Arrangement of the Organic Remains, ^c. 



A Tabular View of the Geological distribution of the Fossils of Sussex, exhibiting the 



zoological characters of the Strata. 



[The strata are grouped according to their zoological characters, the Shanklin Sand being included in the Chalk For- 

 mation. The Purbeck would of course rank with the Hastings Deposits.]

 than one subdivision of the same formation, the total amount here given rather exceeds the number of distinct species.
