Abstract
ONE would have imagined that the history of oil exploration in the British Isles was sufficiently common knowledge to shake the faith of the most ardent believer in undiscovered resources, but apparently not. The attack on sub-Wealden hydrocarbons has broken out afresh, this time in Kent, and the possibilities of great finds of oil are optimistically envisaged. We are informed that permission has been granted by the War Office for a well to be put down on land given over to the rifle ranges near Hythe, and that the operators responsible for the project anticipate strike at about 1000 ft.
