Extract

The Geology of Dorset presents an almost consecutive series of formations from the Liassic to the Quaternary. The Rhætic beds which have so large a development in the neighbouring counties of Somerset and Gloucester, just touch the confines of the county near Lyme Regis, and were described by Mr. H.W. Bristow, F.R.S., Director of the Government Geological Survey, at the Bath Meeting of the British Association in 1864, as everywhere underlying the true Liassic strata.
