  of 
  zones 
  of 
  fossils 
  in 
  Colwell 
  Bay 
  and 
  Headon 
  Hill 
  ; 
  bnt 
  he 
  had 
  

   shown 
  that 
  these 
  beds 
  when 
  traced 
  towards 
  Totland 
  Bay 
  varied 
  

   greatly. 
  It 
  was 
  vain 
  to 
  talk 
  of 
  the 
  work 
  of 
  Prof. 
  Forbes. 
  No 
  one 
  

   respected 
  Edward 
  Forbes 
  more 
  than 
  he 
  did 
  ; 
  but 
  many 
  facts 
  were 
  

   before 
  us 
  now 
  which 
  were 
  not 
  before 
  that 
  most 
  eminent 
  geologist. 
  

   If 
  ^Messrs. 
  Tawney 
  and 
  Keeping 
  were 
  right, 
  the 
  foreign 
  geologists 
  

   were 
  wrong. 
  He, 
  however, 
  inclined 
  to 
  think 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  possible 
  to 
  

   interpret 
  the 
  English 
  section 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  agree 
  with 
  their 
  reading.
