Sample No. 5. — 1 lb. of marl from top of Cliff to south of 

 large new villa (Villa Heeren) above end of sea-wall. Residue 

 left after washing weighed 342 grains and consisted of sand, 

 Foraminifera, small Molluscan shells and fragments of larger 

 ones, Polyzoa, Echinoderm spines, Ostracoda, and a few small 

 Fish-teeth. Pyrites frequent in this sample, many of the 

 Foraminifera being filled with the same. 



Sample No. 4. — 1 lb. of marl from base of Cliff 120 yards* 

 south of last gathering. The residue left after washing weighed 

 43 grains and consisted of sand, Foraminifera, Polyzoa (plenti- 

 ful), fragments of Molluscan shells, also casts of same in clay, 

 Ostracoda, small Fish-teeth (very rare). The siftings (fine- 

 enough to pass through a sieve of 80 meshes to the inch) con- 

 sisted almost entirely of Foraminifera. Altogether the wash- 

 ings from this sample were coarser than those from No. 3, and 

 were much richer in Foraminifera though the total weight was 

 so small. 



Sample No. 5. — 1 lb. of marl from base of Cliff about 

 100 yards north of small rivulet descending from Villa Notre 

 Dame. Total weight of residue 188 grains, composed of sand, 

 fragments of Molluscan shells, Foraminifera, Polyzoa, Ostra- 

 coda, Echinus-spines, tubes of Serpula, fragments of small 

 Crinoids, and Sponge-spicules. Arenaceous forms of Foramini- 

 fera were more common than in any previous sample, and many 

 of the specimens are filled with calcite, whilst some genera, 

 notably Miliolina, Biloculina. and other porcellanous forms 

 are almost entirely represented by casts in this mineral, the 

 small portions of shell-wall remaining being of a chalkv 

 consistency. 



Sample No. 6. — 1 lb. of marl gathered 10 feet above base 

 of Cliff on north side of rivulet descending from Villa Notre 

 Dame. Residue after washing weighed 35 grains and contained 

 much mica in finely comminuted state. The organic contents 

 were Foraminifera, spines and fragments of tests of Echino- 

 derms, Polyzoa, Ostracoda, and large Sponge-spicules. 



Sample No. 7. — 1 lb. of marl from base of Cliff 30 yards 

 north of last ravine before coming to l'Ermitage. Weight 

 of residue after washing was 160 grains and consisted of sand, 

 Foraminifera, Polyzoa, joints of Crinoid-stems, fragments of 

 Echinus-tests and spines, fragments of Molluscan shells. 

 Ostracoda, and a few small Fish-vertebrae. Calcite casts of 

 Foraminifera were frequent 



Sample No. 8.—1 lb. of very sandy marl from 15 feet above 

 the base of the Cliff below l'Ermitage, but slightly to the 

 north of the same. Residue after washing weighed 713 grains-
