away by the sea. These contain seams of Hydrobia at their 
base, the upper portion being almost entirely made of the 
common Cardium and Tellina balthica. 
I may notice, in conclusion, a fauna obtained near Sandwich, 
in Kent, some little distance inland from a deposit which I 
have not yet seen. Amongst the shells I find 35 species, 
including some deeper water forms than usually occur in shore 
deposits. These were apparently accumulated in a sand bank 
or eddy and are comparatively recent.

Notes on some of the Selsey fossils, and description of the 
rarer, or new species :— 
** Ostrea lusitanica. —A long and narrow form of Oyster of which 
only a few examples have been obtained, the common 
0. edulis being the most abundant. 
Pecten hyalinus , Poli.—A single valve only. Unfortunately lost. 
ff ,, polymorphous , Brown. —Comprises two species, P. Jiexuosus, 
Poli, and P porteus , Sow. 
„ testae , Bivona.—A small but well marked example. 
,, scabriusculus, A. Bell.—N. sp. A small species, pure white, 
not unlike at first sight the young of P. varius, from 
which it differs in the sculpture between the rays, 
and the shape of the auricles. Rays 26, sparsely 
scaled intervals crossed by raised imbricated scales, 
regularly placed auricles rayed, umbo pointed. Depth 
4 m.m., breadth 2 m.m. 
Kellia ambiyua , Nyst.— Crag. Moll. II., tab. xii. fig. 2. Not 
uncommon 
Cardita chamaeformis , Leatlies.—Crag Moll. II. tab. xv., fig. 6. 
Two specimens; these, although small, come nearer 
to the crag species than to any other, so far as can be 
ascertained. In size they are nearer C. corbis , Phil., 
but differ in sculpture and shape.
