This, the well-nigh universal base-bed of the Devon Cretaceousseries, is, from its somewhat retentive character, usually the mostdifficult to examine in situ. It may be seen in part at White Cliff,and here and there along the cliffs from Branscombe westward toPeak Hill. It is present also, in much the same condition, at thebase of the Blackdown strata at Punchey Down, near Collumpton,and again, further westward, at Haldon. Bed 2.—Argillaceous sand, with abundance of green in colour from dark greyish to pale brownish green, appa-rently according to its condition of moisture. Fossiliferous semi-indurated nodules occur near the top of this bed at White Cliff andin places to the westward, and have much resembla
