A revised list of the Teglian plants, with some additional species lately obtained, 

 is given in our table (p. 38). 



The bricksclay of Tegelen is a welbbedded grey or brown sandy loam. It is 

 worked to a depth of 6 metres, and borings made by Professor Dubois prove that its 

 thickness reaches 8 metres. Below this is found coarse white sand and gravel with 

 much mica, and then another clay*bed, which may perhaps be the Reuverian ; but this 

 lower deposit lies below the water*level and its fossils have not been examined. The 

 Teglian clay passes beneath a thick mass of sandy gravel of the Rhine*Maas delta; but 

 no fossils have yet been found in this neighbourhood in the high plateau and the geo* 

 logical date of these overlying strata is still unknown. 



A short distance south of Tegelen, faults cut the scarp, bringing up a clay*bed 

 which is probably the lower bed of Tegelen, there only reached by boring. This clay seems 

 to form a continuous bed with a northward dip. It is worked in a series of large pits 

 about hahWay up the scarp between Reuver and Swalmen ; above and below it lie 

 currenkbedded RhinesMaas gravels. Unfortunately no representative of the Teglian 

 clay has yet been found in the scarp or plateau immediately above, or at any point 

 south of the faults ; we must therefore fix the relative age of these two deposits by 

 other evidence. This evidence is provided by borings, which show that the Miocene 

 floor on which the Pliocene deposits rest is raised considerably on the south side of 

 the faults. The lithological character of the Reuverian clay differs also from that of
