  REV. 
  W*. 
  DOWNES 
  ON 
  THE 
  BLACKDOWN 
  BEDS. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Downes 
  thought 
  that 
  the 
  thickness 
  beneath 
  bed 
  12 
  at 
  Haldon, 
  

   mentioned 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Champemowne, 
  was 
  exceptional. 
  He 
  gave 
  some 
  

   additional 
  facts 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  sponge 
  -spicule 
  beds. 
  The 
  Haldon 
  Ammo- 
  

   nite 
  was 
  too 
  fragmentary 
  to 
  be 
  determined 
  ; 
  he 
  gave 
  some 
  details 
  

   of. 
  those 
  found 
  at 
  Blackdown. 
  He 
  had 
  not 
  visited 
  the 
  sections 
  

   further 
  eastward. 
  In 
  answer 
  to 
  Mr. 
  Whitaker 
  he 
  said 
  that 
  there 
  is 
  

   no 
  indication 
  of 
  redeposition 
  in 
  the 
  lower 
  beds, 
  though 
  in 
  and 
  above 
  

   bed 
  10 
  it 
  is 
  quite 
  possible 
  and, 
  in 
  some 
  instances, 
  very 
  probable. 
  

   In 
  those 
  higher 
  beds 
  broken 
  fossils 
  are 
  frequent, 
  and 
  current 
  action 
  

   often 
  evident. 
  The 
  bottom 
  bed 
  at 
  Haldon 
  corresponded 
  with 
  

   about 
  bed 
  12 
  at 
  Blackdown.
