page 229 note 1 It is from this character that the name of the region is derived, for the word Bray comes from Braïum, which, in the ancient language of Gaul, signifies boue, marécage, or lieu humide.

page 230 note 1 In alluding to the researches of MM. Hebert and de Mercey on this district, M. de Lapparent does not mention the important paper by DrBarrois, C. (Sur le Terrain Crétacé Supérieur), in which that author concludes,—that the axis of Kingsclere is the prolongation of the axis of Artois, the axis of Winchester that of the Bresle, and the axis of the Isle of Wight and of Purbeck that of the Pays de Bray.
