Boring at Lydd. 



A boring has lately been made for the War Office, at the southern 

 end of Kent, which may be of interest here, as the most easterly 

 one through the lowest beds of the Wealden Series, and the 

 following account may be of some value. The details were given 

 me by Messrs. S. F. Baker and Sons, who carried out the work.
