* Forest Ridge ' where Marl occurs tvith Ironstone and thin beds of 
Limestone.'' 
" About Sheffield Park and at Fletching Mill Pipe Clay and 
bitutnenized Wood. 
At Newick Park bitunienized Wood induced a search for coal.^* 
The Clay of Chailey Sth Common makes excellent Bricks." 
Hahnsey Malm Pits contain Fossils peculiar to the lower 
part of the Chalk. 
" Excellent Wheat Land." 
" Much Chalk goes from these Hills by the Ouse Navigation 
to the interior of Sussex and is there used on the Land either in a 
crude state or burned into Lime by ivood fires for that purpose. 
The Sussex Clunch or Grey Chalk like that of the Surrey Hills 
makes an excellent Lime for building in Water."

Clay the species of organized Fossils ivhich are found at Woolivich 
and in France. 
The Tide flows by Neivhaven through an opening in the Chalk 
Hills up the River Ouse to Lewes."
