" c. TFadhurst Clay} Consisting of

" Noi'E. — The general course of the 

 ancient Wealden Kiver, as evidenced by 

 the ripple-marks (which would naturally 

 be found parallel to the stream), and 

 also by the trend of scattered remains, 

 such as the bones of individual animals, 

 trunks of trees, and other debris, appears 

 to have taken a direction in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Hastings from N.E. to S.W. 

 Consequently the coast section would 

 be obliquely across the bed of the 

 river, and this fact may account for 

 the very limited extent of outcropping 

 fossiliferous beds."
