Cytherea ovalis, var. ? Sow.
Proceeding by Uxbridge to Watford, occasional imperfect indications
of this bed are met with. On the Birmingham Railway, at Bushey
near Watford, the mottled clays with the basement bed of the Lon-
don clay were exposed, in a section which I was too late to see in a
good condition. The superposition, however, was sufficiently appa-
rent. The following organic remains were found there by the late
Dr. James Mitchell :—
Cytherea obliqua, Desk.
Nucula.
Panopsea intermedia, Sow.
Rostellaria Sowerbyi, Mant.
Diverging five miles to the south, the chalk comes so near to the
surface in the valley at Pinner near Harrow, that it is worked by
shafts sunk through the superincumbent tertiaries. The followino-
is a section of one of these shafts. (See fig. 14.) °

The works were not in operation at the time I visited this spot, and
I was unable to procure any of the fossils said to occur abundantly
in the stratum which I have marked " c. 1."
Passing eastward by Shenley Hill, no good section of this bed
occurs until we reach a brick-field one mile east-south-east of Hat-
field, and immediately adjoining the east side of Lord Sahsbury's

park. This pit exposes a complete section from the lower part of

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
