PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. [June 8, 
. Section near the coast between Poole Harbour and Christchurch, and 
following the line of strike of the New-Forest tableland to Southampton 
Water at Cadland. The continuation of this section on the east of 
Southampton Water is in the direction of the rise of the surface, and, 
with figs. 6 and 7, shows the slope of the tableland towards South- 
ampton Water. 
Section from the coast half a mile east of Highcliff to Winckton Post, 
and continued from a point on the plain 1 mile to the east, to Burley 
Beacon, where a short branch diverges to Picked Post. The main 
section again divides at Bratley Plain, the western line crosses two 
bottoms to Leadenhall and intersects the northern escarpment of the 
New-Forest tableland, half a mile west of Bramshaw Telegraph. The 
eastern line traverses Ocknell Plain and Biackbush Plain, and cuts the 
escarpment | mile west of Bramshaw Church. ‘This and the two 
following sections are in the direction of the rise of the New-Forest 
tableland. 
Section along two lines from Barton cliff, and from Hordwell cliff to 
Wilverley, and thence through low ground to the tableland near Stoney 
Cross. 
Section from the Solent, 2 miles east of Lymington, across Boldre Heath 
to the escarpment at Ladycross Lodge, and on to Matley Heath. ..This 
section shows the prolongation of the tableland down nearly to the 
sea-level along the Solent, and also the occurrence of detached grayel- 
topped hills beyond the escarpment. 
Section through Southampton along the Winchester road to Chandler’ s 
Ford, with a branch over Chilworth common to the escarpment near 
the “Tower of the Winds,” the highest point of the tableland | on the 
east of Southampton Water. 
Section from the coast between Brunage and Hill Head, and 
Section from 14 mile east of Hill ieIeadl northwards, show the relation of 
the gravel from which flint implements have been obtained with the 
gravel on the higher level of Titchfield Common. 
Section through Hayling Island northwards to a grayel- -covered surface 
half a mile west of Bourne Common. 
Section through St. George’s Down and Stapler’s Heath to Osborne and 
Norris, showing the comcidence of the gravel-capped hills in the Isle 
of Wight, with a slope northwards corresponding to the slope south- 
wards on the mainland. 
Map showing the area of the river-basins within which the grayel- 
covered tablelands are situated. 
Section of the gravel and brick-earth deposits exhibited in the cliff at 
Foreland in the Isle of Wight. 
Comparative sections of the Brading and Freshwater valleys where 
they traverse the chalk. 
Contorted gravel and brick-earth in a pit near the railway at Anglesea, 
about 17 feet above the mean sea-level. 
Gravel in a pit near the “Tower of the Winds,” Chilworth, 300 feet 
above the mean sea-level, where disturbance of the gravel appears to 
have arisen from the wasting of the beds beneath. The occurrence of 
white gravel, separated from the red by a black carbonaceous band, is 
also here seen. 
Discussion. 
The PrestpEnt referred to the raised beach at Brighton, which he 
had traced thence as far as Chichester. He inquired what evidence 
there 
was of the marine origin and contemporaneity of the beds 
identified with this beach by Mr. Codrington. 
Mr. 
Wuiraxer noticed the occurrence of grayels similar to those 
.
