By the kindness of Dr. Henry Woodward, Keeper of the Geological Department of the British Museum, I have been furnished with a list of shells which have the locality “Mead End” attached to them in the Edwards Collection in that Museum.
page 66 note 1 These sources are, as to Lucina concava, a note in my father's handwriting, and as to Melanopsis sodalis, Cardila oblonga, Lucina divaricata, Psammobia appendiculata, Mactra depressa, and Corbula oblonga, similar notes, and also specimens in my possession with their names and localities affixed to them in my father's handwriting. The authority for the introduction of the rest in italics is mentioned in the list.
page 68 note 1 As Prof. Judd in his vertical “New Forest” section, (loc. cit. p. 170) places the “Sands” (numbered 1 in the section of Hordwell Cliff accompanying this paper) which intervene between the base of the Lower Freshwater and the Barton Clay, in his “Headon Group,” and places all this group on the horizon of the Lower Oligocene, it follows that this horizon begins in his view even some way below the Meadend bed, although he does not show this bed in his section.
page 68 note 2 One of the shells, Nerilina concava, is given from the Klein Spawen bed; but as my father (see Eo. Moll. p. 346) found it at Muddiford. which is far below the Meadend horizon, this would be no exception to the remark in the text. Bosquet, however, regards the Belgian shell as different from Sowerby's concava.
page 69 note 1 At this time, and until after the first part of this paper had been published, the Barton Clay was regarded by geologists as the same formation as the London Clay.
page 69 note 2 In the Ordnance one inch to the mile map this ravine is called Paddy's Gap, but in the six inch to the mile map no name is given to it. Its distance from Milford is given correctly in my father's paper, but its distance from Beacon-Bunny is according to the six inch map upwards of a mile and a half.
page 70 note 1 I have not been able to find Pleurotoma, Sanguinolaria, or Cytherea among the shells of this (Mead-end) bed.—S.V.W.
page 70 note 2 By this is meant the Barton Clay, as explained in note ante.—S.V.W.
