Abstract
Summary The following are the chief results of this investigation of the Horsham district o 1. The existence of small outcrops of Grinstead Clay has been shown in the southern part of St. Leonard's Forest. 2. The Upper Tunbridge Wells Sand has an unusually large thickness, viz. , about 180 feet, compared, for instance, with its thickness at Tunbridge Wells (80 ft.). 3. The Horsham Stone—using the term in its broad sense so as to include the intercalated beds of clay, is a lenticular deposit, and does not keep to a definite horizon. 4. There are three distinct lithological types of Horsham Stone: a flaggy calcareous sandstone, a fissile stone and a thickly bedded stone. 5. The Horsham Stone bears a strong similarity to the Tilgate Stone (Wadhurst Clay) in its microscopic structure. 6. The absence of limestone bands in the Weald Clay below the Horsham Stone is noted. 7. Attention is drawn to several interesting features concerning the rivers of the district.
