The Highclere Bagshots

Abstract

THE notice in NATURE for December 1 (p. 104), by my friend Mr. R. S. Herries, of casts of shells in the Bagshot Beds at Highclere tends strongly to confirm the results of my own work in that district. On the strength of physical and strati-graphical evidence, I have shown the development in that neighbourhood of all the three stages of the Bagshot formation as we know it in the London Basin. This will be seen on the publication of a paper which was sent in to the Secretary of the Geological Society on October 10 last, but has not yet been put down by the Council for reading.
