Abstract
Since the publication in the Quarterly Journal of the Society (Q. J. G. S. xliii. p. 431) of a paper on the London Clay and Bagshot Beds of Aldershot, I have made a number of observations on these beds as they occur in the area between Aldershot and Ascot. These observations I would now place at the disposal of other workers, as I shall have no further opportunities of making use of them, and I would also shortly refer to the results to which they seem to me to lead. In my previous paper, referred to above, I only discussed the beds at their southern outcrop over an area about 5 miles from E. to W. by 2 miles from N. to S., and showed that within this area the Bagshot and London-Clay strata remained of constant thickness and dipped at an angle of about 2¼° northwards. Over so small an area it was easy to obtain sections which would show what was required, and at the same time of a length short enough to avoid the necessity of any great exaggeration of the vertical scale in order to show the details.
