36 Mr. Webster on the Strata of Hastings, in Sussex. 



doubt of the identity of the beds forming the chffs at Hastings with the rock 

 that occurs in Tilarate Forest and Cuckfield, so rich in fossil bones: but from an 

 examination of the first of these strata on an extensive line of coast in Dorset- 

 shire^ where from their highly inclined position they are well displayed, I 

 have been much struck with the want of agreement in the details of the sec- 

 tions at different places. Although the strongly coloured clays and sandstones 

 of this series may be easily recognised, yet the irregularities are so great, that 

 it is evident the subdivisions, or separate members of this formation, are of very 

 limited extent.
