In 1862, Professor T. Rupert Jones published some notes on a careful microscopical examination of five samples of clay from the Bracklesham beds of Bracklesham, Selsea, and the Isle of Wight (?). This paper gave a good idea of the systematic methods which could be employed in working over a sample of fossiliferous material, especially when rich in microzoa, and the results of which are often of great use to geologists and palæontologists.

page 226 note 2 I am indebted to the Rev. R. Ashington Bullen, B.A., F.G.S., of Reigate, for the fossiliferous clay from Lee-on-Solent; and he has also kindly furnished me with the notes on the position of the beds in the locality, as given above.
