Abstract

In the spring of the year 1878 I brought under the notice of the Geological Society a paper describing for the first time as Marine, the Upper Series of the Bournemouth strata, present in thickness to the east of Bournemouth Pier. The publication has been delayed, but the present sketch will only to a very slight extent forestall it, and is written simply with a view to make clear the synchrony of the Bournemouth Marine Beds with the lower part of the Bracklesham Beds of the Hampshire Basin, the Middle and so-called Upper Bagshot Beds of the London Basin, and the Bovey Tracey Beds, the true position of the latter, especially, being more clear at the present moment than it was a few months ago. I propose first to describe briefly the Bournemouth Marine Strata, and then the other formations with which I have correlated them, in the order in which they are mentioned above.
