^{page 6 note 2} It is noted in the Athenaeum (Nov. 29, 1884), that Mr. Austen’s news on this subject had been to some extent foreshadowed by De la Beche: the only passage bearing on the subject, which we have come across in De la Beche’s writings, is that in Mem. Geol. Survey, vol. i. 1846, p. 214. He says, “From the movement of the older rocks many a mass of Coal-measures may be buried beneath the Oolites and Cretaceous rocks on the east, the remains of a great sheet of these accumulations, connecting the districts we have noticed, with those of Central England and of Belgium, rolled about and partially denuded prior to the deposit of the Xew Eed Sandstone.”
