The "directors" were Mr. Whitaker and Dr. H. P. Blackmore. Salisbury 

 Cathedral is built of " Portland stone from the Yale of Wardour, some miles 

 to the west, and columns of Purbeck marble." At Stonehenge, Mr. 

 Whitaker described the petrology of the monument, and proposed certain 

 resolutions for its restoration. 



1889. Geology of London, etc. Qeol* Swrvey Memoir; 



8vo., xi., 556, with one hundred and five woodcuts : London. 



This book is practically the second edition of the " Geology of the London 

 Basin," by the same author, published in 1872. For references to the 

 Grey-wethers, Druid Sandstone, or Sarsens, see pp. 197, 364, 478 — 480, 

 500. Windsor Castle is built of grey-wether sandstone ; and it is also used 

 for paving. The author agrees with Prestwich that some of the blocks of 

 sandstone now found scattered over the London Basin may haw come 

 from the Woolwich and Reading Beds ; but thinks that the grey-wethers 

 at its western end (Wilts, etc.) have been derived from the Bagshot Sands.
