QUARRY AT POUNCEFORD, 1827. 
• This stone so entirely agrees in its niineralogical characters with 
that of Tilgate Forest, that specimens from the respective localities 
conlil not be distinguished from each other. The same bed is quarried 
at Etchingham, three miles north-east of Burwash. 
f This spring has been diverted from its former course by the works 
carried on for the purpose of extracting the grit for a road material. 
It now empties itself into a stream higher up the valley, and its lapi- 
descent powers are much diminished. A bank, over which it formerly 
ran, contains large blocks of calcareous tufa, which enclose mosses.
