The junction beds are also exposed at Water Lane a quarter of a mile 
due east of Truncheaunt’s Farm, but the section is not very clear. 
The junction of the Chalk and Upper Greensand has not been 
observed again between this point and where a “ green way ” 
meets a cross lane at right angles, 330 yards W.N.W. of Twentyways 
Farm, near Ramsdean, some lj mile due east of East Meon. 
Here the bright greensand of the Upper Greensand is capped 
by a bed of hard concretionary masses, containing Am. [8chi.] 
varians and another species, and above this a pale grey very 
glauconitic calcareous marl is seen to pass up to Chalk Marl. 
This exposure is partly in a hedge bank and partly in a shallow 
ditch, where running water has cleared the surface soil. 
Fragments of concretionary masses full of Am. [Schl. } varians 
were seen in hedgerows and ploughed land between this point and 
Buriton on the line indicating the summit of the Upper Greensand 
on the maps of the Geological Survey, 
Chalk M(tvl. —There is no quarry in Hampshire which exhibits 
any considerable section of the Chalk Marl. 
About a mile north of Bentley in Lock’s Grove plantation, Mr. 
C. E. Hawkins saw much jointed marly chalk, and in Black Acre 
copse, a quarter of a mile north-west of Bentley, rather sandy marly 
chalk was noticed, but there was no section. 
Dr. Barrois (op. cit., p. 49) records that at Neatham, near Holy 
bourne, he saw several metres of bluish-grey argillaceous marl 
crumbling down quickly on exposure to the air, but containing 
many small brachiopods, especially Rhynchonella mantelliana 
and Terebratulina striata. 
A large quarry on the Weatham Hill, two miles north of Peters- 
held, shows beds which probably belong to the higher part of this 
zone. They are as follow
