Not illustrated. 1864 Excerpt: ...Valley should prove to be an outlier (see p. 49). On the Lane End Outlier (No. 2, p. 31) there are six patches of London Clay. 1. The most marked of them forms the hill on the west of the village and is the central part of the whole outlier. On the. common by the high road there is a pit showing the basement-bed over the Reading Beds (see p. 32). Many septaria lie about, some (with casts of fossils) from the basement-bed; and there are also, from that bed, some small thin pieces of sandstone, and some of concretionary calcareous sandstone, on which last there are often adherent shells of Ditrupa. In the London Clay itself, which is shown close by, there are fossils; but they are much broken up. Again, in some small pits on the common, S.W. of Lane End, the basement-bed may be seen overlying the Reading Beds, and the clay is shown higher up. 2. The presence of London Clay on Park Hill, the other high point of the Lane End Outlier, is inferred from the height of the ground; there being no section. 3. In a pit at the kiln near Mozzels I saw, in May 1859, a very irregular junction of the basement-bed with the Reading Beds (see p. 32). The former must merely fill a hollow in the latter, as sand seems to have been found on all sides. 4. At the northern end of Moor Common there are some sections of the London Clay, with a few nodular masses of soft sandstone (with indistinct fossils) and ironstone. The basement-bed seems to come in at the lower part; but the whole, which is close to one of the faults that I have been obliged to map (see p. 33), has a disturbed irregular look. At the top there is a bed of clay, most likely reconstructed London Clay, with a layer of small flint-pebbles at its base, and resting directly on the true London Clay. 5. In the wood just N....
