HASTINGS CLIFFS. 
sands, sandstones, and clays (Jlie Hor.sted beds), 
forming the uppermost part of the series ; these 
appear at Bexhill, behind St. Leonard’s and the 
White Rock, and on the top of West and East 
Cliffs. 
2. The Tilgate beds, with their peculiar cal- 
ciferous grit, and accompanying sand, clay, and 
shale ; these occur at White Rock, are wanting on 
the West Cliff, but reappear on the East Cliff in 
a very striking manner. 
3. A series of white and yellow sands, and sand- 
stone, (the Worth sandstone) containing ferns, and 
other vegetable remains. 
4. Shale, ferruginous sand, and sandstone, with 
ironstone, lignite, and other carbonized remains 
of vegetables, in vast quantities ; forming a part of 
the Ashburnham beds. 
The organic remains of the cliffs at Hastings, 
though comparatively presenting but little variety, 
are nevertheless important, from their identity 
with those of Tilgate Forest. The following were 
collected in a few hasty visits to Hastings ; and if 
research were made under more favourable circum- 
stances, there can be no doubt a far more extensive 
series might easily be obtained. 
Horsted beds. 
Lignite ; carbonized remains of vege- 
tables^ too imperfect to admit of being 
determined. 
Bones of sauHans. 
Tilgate grit. 
Casts of cpclades, cyrencc? and palii- 
di/rive in aliundance.
