Slowly the calm sea ebbs. As the pulse of the great ocean beats, 
its glassy I'ibbon-waves flow swellingly along in long thin lines, 
and then drain rapidly away. Every now and then, with higher 
swelling motion, one wavelet ripples further in, leaving us doubtful 
for a moment of the tide's recess. But gently, surely are those 
slippery rocks unveiled, and on their smooth and purple flats the 
glittering fossils lie. 
Lign. 3. — Ammonites Lauttis. Prom the Gault. 
There, in their radiant iridescence in scores are pearly Ammonites. 
A. lautus, A. splendens, A. cmritus, A. tuberculatus, and the little 
ribbed and everywhere bestrewn A. varicosus.
