III.—A Brief Memoir of the Geology of Dorset
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
As the sands and clays of the Hastings series lie conformably on the Purbeck Beds, it is probable that the same area which formed the embouchure of the Purbeck river performed still the same office during the Hastings Sand age; but the entirely different character of the deposit shows at least that the soil of the country drained by the latter was different from that which supplied the former; and it is evident also that, in the district under consideration, the motion of the water of the Hastings river was much more rapid, from the abundance of sand, coarse quartz, and gravel with pebbles.
