Hardwicke's science-gossip : an illustrated medium of interchange and gossip for students and lovers of nature . the Isle ofWight, taking pains, at the same time, to separate thefossils of each zone; as a result of this care inreferring every fossil to its own horizon, we find near to Ventnor railway station ; the result corre-sponds altogether with my previous measurement inthe same spot. At the same time it is only fair tostate that in different parts of the undercliff thechloritic marl varies in thickness, as it apparentlyfills up depressions in the stratum below. I amcertain, however, that six feet is an average thick-ness, and that it may be divided into two divisions ;35 feet fossiliferous, with base of hard phosphaticnodules and crushed Pecten asper; 2| compact,darker grains, and few fossils. Mr. Etheridge thought that Pccfen asper was moreproperly an upper greensand form, and very unusualin the chloritic marl. In the five years experienceI have had in the Isle of Wight, I have never beenable to find a single specimen of Pcctcn asper belowthe phosphatic nodules referred to above. In that.
