  • Excursion to Sheppey
    EXCURSION TO SHEPPEY. 459 Heath, where there is a fine section in an outlier of Blackheath Beds. Towards the base the pebbles had become cemented by iron oxide into a hard conglomerate. Sand occurred below the pebble beds, and between the two was a thin band of allophane ; numerous specimens of this mineral were obtained. The amount of oxide of iron present gave the section a vivid red appearance. In spite of a long search, nothing beyond flint pebbles was found although on previous occasions a few quartzite pebbles of unknown derivation had been obtained by Dr. Hinde. Above the Blackheath Beds was to be seen a quantity of drift material, derived from Blackheath Beds and Thanet Sand. A short walk through a picturesque plantation brought the members to the edge of the dry Chalk valley, and the magnificent view there obtained was thoroughly enjoyed by all. A steep descent was made to the main road, and Upper Warlingham was again reached. Here the members enjoyed the hospitality of the Rev. T. T. Griffith, M.A., amidst the sylvan beauties which surround his home. Hearty votes of thanks to the Director and to the Rev. Mr. Griffith concluded an instructive excursion. REFERE~CES.

The author has placed the paper on the site for download for personal or academic use. Any other use must be cleared with the author of the paper who retains the copyright. Please email [email protected] for details regarding copyright clearance. The Kent Archaeological Society (Registered Charity 223382) welcomes the submission of papers. The necessary form can be downloaded from the website at www.kentarchaeology.ac Cholera and typhoid fever are bacterial diseases that are acquired by the consumption, mainly of water, but sometimes of food, that has been contaminated by sewage containing the excrement of people suffering from the disease The natural home of cholera is the Indian subcontinent where it had been known for many years. In the nineteenth century, however, for reasons that are not clear, it changed and caused a number of epidemics. It then travelled along the trade routes to most corners of the known world, causing several pandemics. In three of these during 1826-1838, 1846-1854 and 1863-1868, it entered Britain, causing widespread epidemics: Pandemic years Epidemic years in Britain 1826-1838 1826-1838 1846-1854 1848-49 and 1853-1854 1863-1868 1865-1866 Since the 1866, however, there have been only occasional cases in Britain, usually in travellers from abroad. Typhoid fever has been with us for centuries, probably since Roman times and has caused many isolated cases, minor outbreaks and a few major epidemics. The history of the disease is clouded.
