In an unfinished cutting in the Cor-anguinum zone of the 
Chalk interesting examples of piping were observed. 
Crossing the valley of the Grade to Cassio Bridge, peat was 
seen a little below the surface, and Mr. Woodhead has given the 
following as the section just south of Cassio Bridge : top soil 
3ft., peat 1ft., gravel and chalk 3 ft. 6 ins., gravel 9 ft., soft 
chalk 27 ft., with hard chalk below. 
The meeting concluded with tea on the lawn at the Swiss 
Cottage in Cassiobury Park. 
Field Meeting, 24th September, 1910. 
BUSHEY RAILWAY CUTTING. 
Advantage has been taken of the widening of the London 
and North-Western Railway line between Bushey and Pinner 
Stations for the Society, in conjunction with the Geologists’ 
Association, to examine, in a series of visits, the sections which 
have been exposed. In each visit, of which this was the first, 
Mr. Henry Kidner, F.G.S., and Mr. J. H. Woodhead, F.G.S., 
were the Directors, and the accounts given here are condensed 
from reports furnished by Mr. Kidner which have appeared 
in full in the ‘ Proceedings of the Geologists’ Association.’ 
On this occasion, starting from Bushey Station, the line was 
traversed to Pinner Station, in the direction of the dip of the 
beds, a small pit near the River Colne, showing gravel from 
7 to 8 ft. thick, which is being dug for concrete, first being 
visited. 
At the northern end of Bushey Station a deposit was seen 
consisting of unstratified clay and sand, with flint-pebbles and 
unworn flints, resting on a very irregular chalk-surface sloping 
downwards towards the Colne. At the commencement of the 
cutting, a little to the south, this was seen to pass into sand 
and pebbly gravel without unworn flints, which further south 
passed into clay which has slipped down from a higher level. 
Beneath it was seen, in situ, pale greenish-grev Reading sand 
with an eroded surface. 
South of this cutting is low ground, the result of erosion by 
small streams which in times of rain come down from the high 
ground of Bushey, Bushey Heath, and Oxhev Wood, which, 
uniting, form a stream flowing northwards to the Colne between 
Wiggen Hall and Hamper Mills. 
This low ground ends off near the northern end of Sandpit 
Wood, where a short cutting shows fine pale Reading sand, 
from 6 ft. thick on the west side and between 2 and 3 ft. on the 
east, indicating a sloping surface towards the stream on the 
east. In the middle of the cutting the section showed soil 2 ft., 
clay with scattered flint-pebbles 4 ft., disturbed mottled, green,
