MESSRS. WHITE AND TREACHER ON THE [Aug. I905. 



In the accompanying 

 diagram of the Lodge 

 section (fig. 1), which is 

 approximately to scale, 

 the salients and re- 

 entrants of the face of 

 the quarry have been 

 smoothed away, and the 

 details much simplified 

 and conventionalized. 

 The thick growth of 

 trees, bushes, and 

 creepers, and much of 

 the talus, are also 

 omitted. In the sec- 

 tion itself the dip of 

 the beds is, approxi- 

 mately south-eastward,at 

 angles ranging from 4° or 

 5° on the left, or western 

 half, of the exposure, to 

 about 8° on the right 

 (where, however, an ac- 

 curate measurement is 

 difficult to obtain). 



The several divisions 

 will be dealt with in 

 alphabetical, or ascend- 

 ing order. 



Division (A). 



This is a rather soft, 

 white, blocky chalk, with 

 greyish venules, becom- 

 ing finer, more compact, 

 and rather firmer in its 

 upper parts, and passing 

 gradually into a hard 

 rock-bed, from 6 to 18 

 inches thick, at the top. 

 Wear the bottom, at 

 the western end of the 

 pit, is a thin layer of 

 tabular flint, succeeded, 

 a fewinches above, by one 

 of elongate, solid, nodular 

 flints, with very thin to 

 decidedly - thick white 

 rinds. These were the 

 only flints noticed in situ 

 in the whole section.
