ORGANIC REMAINS OF SUSSEX 
A Tabular View of the Geological Distribution of the Fossils of 
O 
Sussex, exhibiting the Zoological Characters of the Strata. 
Tlie strata are grouped according to their zoological characters, the Shanklin Sand being 
included in the Chalk Formation. The Purbeck would of course rank with the 
Hastings Deposits.
