  • 461 I. Introduction. and Cardita Deltoidea +
    Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 23, 2016 ON THE F~0CENE AI~D 0LI60OENE OF THE HAMPSHIRE BASIN. 461 45. On the RELATIONS of the EocEnE and OLIa0CEN~ STRATA in the HA~trSHIR~. BASlI~. By Prof. JoH~ W. JuDD, F.R.S., See. G.S. (Read April 26, 1882.) I. Introduction. SI~cx the publication of my paper "On the Oligocene Strata of the Hampshire Basin" *, I have been favoured with many valuable suggestions and criticisms from geologists, both in this and other countries ; and the time has now perhaps arrived when some of the interesting c!uestions thus raised may be discussed with advantage. The great object of my former memoir was to determine the age and relations of a series of marine beds which contain a highly interesting fauna--a fauna presenting the closest affinities with that of a well-defined system of strata very widely distributed in Central Europe. In framing his classification of the Hampshire Tertiaries, the late Prof. Edward Forbes gave no pIace t~ this important series of beds--a fact which does not seam t~ Iiave bt~ea Strfiiciently considered by those among my critics who h~ve ~mm'rea.r ~ay proposed modifi- cation of Forbes's classification as tmaecessary-ahd, therefore, un- warrantable. The history of the discovery of this i~tevestiug marine series does not appear to be generally known. The late Sir Charles Lycll spent his earliest years in the New Forest, residing at Bartley Lodge near Lyndhurst. At that time shelly marls appear to have been in great request among agriculturists, being employed by them as a manure on some of the poorer soils, like the similar materials of the French Fahluns and our own Crags.

  • The Gurnard Roman Villa
    Island Sites Revisited The Gurnard Roman Villa by C. T. WlTHERBY GENERAL NOTE HIS building was discovered in 1864 by Mr Edwin Joseph Smith and it is described by the Rev Edmund Kell, M.A., F.S.A., in the British Archaeological Association Reports T for 1866 (p. 351). This report, which includes a copy of the plan of the building prepared by Mr Smith, shows that parts of three rooms were found, the rooms running east and west. The original of Mr Smith's plan is held by the Cowes Urban District Council at Northwood House, Cowes. The whole of the villa has now been destroyed by the sea. EXACT POSITION This is not easy to determine, because Mr Smith's plan does not show any surface feature other than a hedge and the sea has encroached very greatly since 1866. However, the writer suggests that the most easterly of the three rooms of the villa was about 30 yards west, or north-west, of Marsh Cottage, Gurnard, which is itself about 50 yards north of the bridge over the Gurnard Luck. The site is two miles west of Cowes. The evidence to support this is as follows: (a) In his account, Mr Fell refers to the fact that traces of the villa ' appear to enter the garden of the nearby cottage', and later he mentions that a Mrs Grist lived in the cottage in 1866. (Jb) The writer has been informed by Mr Gladstone Flux, of Rew Street, Gurnard, that his grandfather told him that Marsh Cottage was built by a Mr Grist or Grisk.
