VIII.—The Toarcian or Bredon Hill: A Reply to Prof. Hull1

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

In criticising my paper Professor Hull “regrets very much to have found it necessary to make these remarks.” I regret it too, because he only raises issues whioh have been discussed, and, I hoped, settled years ago. But I fear that Professor Hull has not given attention to modern Jurassic literature. He says that Midford Sands is “a name unknown to geologists in general.” Whereas, as the Editor points out, Professor Phillips was the author who amused himself with inventing this fanciful name, to adopt my critic's language. And in the 1879 edition of Sheet 44, at the foot of which appears the name E. Hull, there is on the margin this legend, “G 4, Midford Sand.”
