Abstract
The rarity and imperfect preservation of the fossils in the upper part of the Lower Greensand, in the south-east of England, has always added considerably to the difficulties in the study of that series. The Atherfield Clay and the Hythe Beds both have well-marked faunas, though fossils are often absent from the latter. The palæontological evidence is, however, much less satisfactory in the case of the two uppermost of the four divisions into which the Lower Greensand is usually divided. A fair number of fossils occurs in these at Folkestone, but further to the west the lithological nature of the beds changes, and fossils are found in but few localities.Keywords
