A considerable part of the above section is seen in Galley Hill, near Bexhill (fig. 10). 



West of Galley HiU, between it and the 

 road leading from Bexhill to the beach, is a 

 fault (accompanied with minor slips), which 

 brings the red clays down again to the 

 beach ; and westward of this the shales and 

 sandstones that overlie the clays form the 

 sm-face-ground, undulating along the low 

 cliffs from Bexhill to beyond Couden, and 

 broken by some slight faults, until they 

 reach Pevensey Sluice, where they sink be- 

 neath the marshes, and doubtless are suc- 

 ceeded, in the interval between that spot 

 and Pevensey Castle by sandstones and 

 other beds equivalent to the higher part 

 of the series seen at St. Leonard's and 

 Hastings.^ The Estheria-shales are, there- 

 fore, not seen in this direction. They have 

 not been detected (that I know of) in the 

 strata near St. Leonard's, but they may 

 probably be found in the railway-cutting 

 behind Bopeep. The arrangement of the 

 strata between St. Leonard's and the East 

 Chff does not admit of these shales coming 

 into view ; as the upper beds of the 

 Hastings Sand series lie near to the sea- 

 level, until they come up again at White 

 Rock and under the coastguard-station. 

 Rising still more in the Castle Hill and 

 in the East Chff, the lower strata are re- 

 cognised, and among them beds with 

 EsthericB occur at two, if not three, levels 

 along the cliffs, in the space of a mile or so. 

 The horizon at which 1 have myself (in com- 

 pany with Prof. Morris) seen them is in a 

 bed lying upon the hone-stone in the East 

 Cliff, and about eighty feet above the bottom 

 clays. About thirty feet lower down Messrs. 



Road to White's farm.

' In collecting the data 

 friends, Prof. Morris, F.G.S., 



for the foregoing section, at various times, I have had the assistance of my 

 and Mr. A. Tylor, F.G.S.
