nPHE CHALK CLIFFS OF DOVER ; A Geological and Paljeon- 
X tological Description of the typical section of the English Upper Cretaceous beds. — By 
S. J. Mackie, F.G.S., F.S.A. 
Of the beautiful and instructive section of the Chalk Strata at Dover, there exists no other 
description than the original and admirable paper by William Phillips in the Geolog-ical Trans- 
actions of 1818. The author's long and intimate acquaintance with this locality gives him 
peculiar facilities for presenting in a light and readable form a concise and accurate account of 
the Wliite Cliffs of this celebrated shore, and which he trusts will be thought worthy of being 
regarded as a text-book generally for the chalk-districts of England. 
The proposed work will be illustrated by first-class woodcuts, and will be issued to Subscribers 
at the price of Five Shillings. Subscriptions will be received by the Author, 154, Strand.
