Besides the above, 59 species of fossil plants have been found onthe same horizon in this pit, described by de Saporta and Marion. There is not the slightest doubt, therefore, that the flora is entombedin marine strata. Everywhere, in the district under consideration, the Heersien bedsrest unconformably on Maestrichtien. Now, with regard to the position of the flora with reference toEnglish beds. The fauna of the Heersien Superieur of Belgium is a very poorone, there being but few species, and they are all very badly pre-served, with the exception of the fish teeth. There are only 23species of Molluscs in them, unless others have been discoveredwithin the last year. Of these at least eight are found in our Thanetbeds. These are:—Cyprina plmiata, OucuUcsa decussata, Modiolaelegans, Cyprina Morrisii, Astarte tenera, Cytherea orbicularis, NuculaBoioerbanlcii, and Pholadomya cuneata. All these, withthe excepti
