234 LOWER OOLITIC ROCKS OP ENGLAND : 
junction, but belonging to the Fullonian, specimens of Avicula 
costata ?, Nucula Menkei, Eulima, and Spinigera may be obtained. 
Many specimens, obtained from the " Fuller's Earth," have 
been recorded from the Forest Marble, and vice versa, for, as 
remarked by Lycett, fossils " were picked up from a bank on the 
sea shore."* Trigonia Moretoni, recorded from this locality, may 
belong to the Forest Marble. 
The following fossils were collected by Mr. J. Rhodes and 
myself at Burton Bradstock and Eype : 
Lucina despecta var cardioides. 
Fish-remains. 
Eulima. 
Spinigera. 
Area Pratti. 
Avicula costata ? 
Cardium. 
Cucullaea concinna ? 
Leda lachryma. 
Lima. 
Lucina despecta. 
Modiola gibbosa. 
Myacites. 
Nucula Menkei. 
Ostrea acuminata. 
Pecten. 
Posidonomya. 
Eryma ? 
Lignite. 
Dr. Wright records in addition, Ceromya concentrica, Phola 
domya lyrata (carinatd), and Waldheimia ornithocepJiala ; and the 
Kev. H. S. Solly and Mr. J. F. Walker, have found Tcrebratula 
globata, Rhynchonella varians var. Smithi, R, spinosa var. power- 
stockensis, and Trigonia elongata var.f 
A few miles further east, the Fullonian Beds were again 
exposed by the coast-guard station on the borders of the West 
Fleet, south of Langton Herring. Attention was first directed to 
these beds by Robert Damon.J They form a bank about 30 feet 
high, made up chiefly of an elongated variety of Ostrea acuminata, 
with which O. Soiuerbyi is also associated. Serpula obliquestriata 
occurs also iri the blue clay, which may be traced above and 
below this remarkable Oyster-bed. The general section here is as 
follows :

The Ostrea-bed. again occurs in the low-cliff bordering the 
West Fleet on the opposite side of the little bav, south-west of 
Langton Herring. 
The " Fuller's Earth Rock " is not shown on the Dorsetshire 
coast, if we except some hard bands at or near the top of the 
Fuller's Earth clay at Eype : but these bands do not present the 
usual fossiliferous character of the Rock. The sections however
