  • Explanation Op the Plate
    EXPLANATION OP THE PLATE. Fie:& 1. Is a sketch of the Chalk Cliffs between Deal and Folkstone. It must however, be noticed that in this sketch, the height of the cliffs is too great in proportion to their length, the dip of the strata being somewhat less than one degree. If reduced to their actual proportionate height, it would scarcely exceed one-fourth that of the sketch. Fig. 2. Is a view of the Chalk Cliifs forming Cape Blanc Nez on the coast of France, opposite to Dover. It will be observed that the beds of Fig. 1 & 2 seem to dip in opposite directions, but if the spectator be supposed to be on the sea between the two coasts, he will look nearly noith while viewing the Cliffs near Dover, but nearly south when viewing Cape Blanc Nez. The dip in both is towards the east. Fig. 3. Represents an Inoceramus from the Chalk with few flints near Dover; it is described at page 44, by Mr. Parkinson, who has named it Inoceramus Lamarckii. Figs. 4. & 5. Are Inocerami from the blue marie near Folkstone; they are described by Mr. Parkinson at page 48, as Inoceramus concentricus, and Jnoceramus sulcatus.
