in the thickness of the beds. In abstract it is thus : —

Cephalopods - - - 
4. Sandy marl without phosphates, Stauronema 
common ------- 
3. Nodule bed as at Brook, from 6 inches to 
2. Greenish-grey sand, piped as before - 
The nodule-bed here contains many fossils, and in it Mr. Rhodes 
found two Stauronema Carteri in good preservation. Mr. J. B. 
Hue has also obtained fossils from all three beds. 
List of Fossils from the Chloritic Marl. 
The following list is not intended to be a complete list of all the fossils 
which have been recorded from the Chloritic Marl of the Isle of Wight, but 
only of those for which we have good authority for referring to their exact 
horizon, that is, to one or other of the three distinct beds which we now 
include' under this name. The list is based on that which we published 
in 18&6, * with a few corrections and many additions. The additions are 
due to collections made by Mr. Hill, and subsequently by Mr. Rhodes, for 
the Geological Survey, and partly to the identification of species in the 
collection* of Mr. J. B. Hue, of Ventnor, who has collected from the several 
beds, and has kindly sent many of his specimens for determination. 
The localities are indicated by letters as follows 
a=Culver cliff. 
h= Ventnor, Bonchurch, and St. Lawrence. 
<&— Niton, Gore cliff, and Rocken End shore. 
d== Brook and Compton Bay. 
species added on Mr. Hue’s authority are indicated by the letter h, 
because they were obtained from various places along the Undercliff, though 
most of them came from near Ventnor.
