THE CRETACEOUS ROCKS OF BRITAIN. 
02 
The outcrop of the marl was observed in 1897 in a bye road cross 
ing Ridge Hanger to Stoner Hill two miles north-west of Peters- 
held just above the contour line of 600 feet. 
At the lime works half a mile north of Langrisli House, three 
miles west of Petersheld, about 25 feet of firm, whitish chalk is seen. 
Professor Barrois (op. cit., p. 36) notes this quarry, and records 
the following fossils : — Turrilites costatus, Am. [Acanth.] rotoma- 
gensis, Baculites baculoides, and Inoc. striatus. It would appear 
from his description and from the occurrence of these fossils 
that the quarry was then worked to a lower level than it is at 
the present time. 
In the quarries which adjoin the main road from Petersheld to 
Portsmouth, as it passes between War Down and Butser Hill, about 
three miles from Petersheld, 50 or 60 feet of blocky white chalk 
is seen, and this, with the road cuttings, must expose nearly the 
whole of the upper part of the Lower Chalk; the Belemnite Marls 
are obscured, according to Mr. C., E. Hawkins, though the Mel 
bourn Rock can be identified a little higher up the hill. 
About 80 feet of the upper part of the Lower Chalk is seen at the 
large quarries at Buriton, but, like the section near Butser Hill, 
the Belemnite Marls are not quite exposed. 
In all these quarries the chalk is unfossiliferous and uninteresting. 
The Winchester Inlier. 
The inlier of Lower Chalk at Winchester is a small area on the 
east side of the Itchen Valley, running from Bar End to Cliilcombe. 
Mr. Ch. Griffith, of Winchester, has courteously supplied us with 
the following particulars and lists of fossils : — 
“ There is a large pit at Chilcombe, showing the upper beds of 
the Lower Chalk overlain by the Melbourn Rock and zone of Rhyn- 
chonella Cuvieri. The band of Actinocamax 'plenus presents two 
layers of grey marl with a bed of firm chalk between them. No 
fossils have been found in the marls, but in the central bed and in 
the chalk immediately below the lower marl there are— 
Corax heterodon. 
Ptycliodus decurrens. 
Actinocamax plenus. 
Aporrhais sp. (*? Mantelli). 
Inoceramus sp. 
Ostrea vesicularis. 
Pecten Beaveri. 
Enoploclytia sp. 
Rhynclionella Cuvieri. 
Discoidea minima. 
Pseudodiadema sp. 
Stephanophvllia sp. 
“ The zone of Holaster subglobosus is exposed for about 30 feet, 
and consists of firm, massive chalk, greyish when wet but drying 
white. The same chalk is also found in a pit recently opened at 
Bar End, where it has yielded the following fossils : — 
Cimolichthys lewesiensis. 
Corax falcatus. 
Lamna appendiculata. 
Scapanorhynchus raphiodon. 
Oxyrliina Mantelli. 
Protosphyreena ferox. 
Ptycliodus decurrens. 
„ mammillaris. 
, polygyrus. 
Macropoma sp. 
Terebratula semiglobosa. 
Holaster trecensis.
