  Mr. 
  Whitakee 
  made 
  some 
  remarks 
  upon 
  specimens 
  obtained 
  by 
  

   the 
  continuation 
  of 
  the 
  Streatham 
  boring 
  from 
  1250 
  to 
  1258 
  feet. 
  

   In 
  the 
  lowest 
  two 
  feet 
  reached 
  the 
  rock 
  changed 
  in 
  character 
  to 
  a 
  

   hard 
  grey 
  micaceous 
  sandstone 
  containing 
  carbonaceous 
  fragments 
  ; 
  

   a 
  little 
  higher 
  up 
  (at 
  1255 
  feet) 
  some 
  small 
  objects, 
  believed 
  to 
  be 
  

   fish-remains, 
  occurred 
  in 
  a 
  sandstone 
  slightly 
  differing 
  from 
  that 
  

   met 
  with 
  in 
  the 
  previous 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  boring. 
  The 
  age 
  of 
  these 
  

   rocks 
  was, 
  however, 
  said 
  to 
  be 
  still 
  uncertain.
