The impression of this Edition had been some time completed, and the colouring of the plates 
nearly executed, when I had the pleasure to learn that the obscurity hanging over the interesting 
Question of the existence of Tertiary deposits on the Yorkshire Coast, had been dissipated by a recent 
discovery of tertiary shells by my indefatigable friend Mr. Bean, near the spot where Professor 
SedglS and myself had sought for them without success The following notice has been com- 
municated by Mr. Bean to the Magazine of Natural History tor June, 1835.

nected, the most abundant. I hastily procured a few specimens of shells, and was delighted find 
my anticipations in this respect had not been realized. 
In colour and appearance this shelly mass resembled the London clay, but the fossils bore the 
aspect of those found in the Crag:-(tlie shelly bed contains) a greater number of species Jhan 
have been at present obtained, and much caution will be requisite ere its geological relations 
truly determined. Thus much however is certain that these shells are coeval with, if not of higher 
antiquity than, the Crag.
