The chalk cliffs at this locality were carefully measured by Mr. De Ranee, (of Geological Survej*), and myself;and the height was found to be 433 feet above the mean sea-level. The thickness of the beds between the Upper Gault and thefirst bed of flints (Upper Chalk) is 348 feet. These beds I propose to divide into three general groups, i. Marl, Grey Chalk, and Lower Chalk, the former two corre-sponding with the Cenomanien of DOrbigny, and the latter with hisTuronien. As these divisions contain several well-marked lithologi-cal bands or beds, I have again subdivided them into six zones andn
