The West Saxons fought with the Britons many battles and in 501 Cerdic beat their king Nathan-leod; it was not, however, till about 577 that they drove the Britons from South Wilts. In 591 there was a great slaughter of the Welsh at Wodensbury, or Wanborough, near Swindon. In 715, Ina, King of the West Saxons, and Cholred, King of the Mid-English, fought at the same place. In 871 King Alfred fought with the Danes at Wilton, and was beaten ; in 878 they burned Chippenham, but he afterwards beat them at Eddington. In 995 the Danes from East England overran North Wilts, and again in 1003, 1006, 1oro, 1015 and 1016. In the Parliamentary war there was a battle in 1643 on Roundway Down, and the castles and towns of Salisbury, Marlborough, Devizes, Malmesbury, Ludgershall, Warminster and Wardour were besieged. There are a great many antiquities in Wilts, whereof some are British, some Roman and some Saxon. Stonehenge is a circle of rough stones on Salisbury Plain, and there is another at Avebury, or Abury.

The great cluster of Marlborough Downs fills the north-east to the south of Swindon. The climate on the downs is healthy, but the air is cold and sharp: in the north-west it is milder. North-east Wilts is drained by the feeders of the Thames, North-west Wilts by those of the Severn, and South Wilts by the heads of the Salisbury Avon. In the north rise the Thames head, Flagham brook, ancl Swill brook, joining the Churn, or true Thames, near Cricklade; it then flows along the north border of Wilts, taking the Key, or Ray and the Cole. The Key, which is a millstream about 16 miles long, rises in the hills near Wroughton, passes near Swindon and joins the Churn near CrickJade ; the Cole, which is 13 miles long, rises to the east of the Key and flows towards Lechlade ; the Kennett rise3 near Wroughton, within Marlborough Downs, flows south, then east to Marlborough and so past Hungerford to Reading and the Thames : at Marlborough it receives the Oi'!baurn, near Ramsbury the Aldburn, and near Hungerford a brook: the Kennett flows for 20 miles through Wiltshire. The north, or Bristol Avon, rises in the Cotswold Hills in Gloucestershire, enters Wiltshire near Luckington, and flows east to Malmesbury, where it takes the Tetbury brook 9 miles long ; it then flows south to Chippenham : near Chippenham, the Marden, 10 miles long, flows in from Calne; the Avon flows south to Melksham, where a feeder from Devizes 13 miles long, flows in ; from Melksham the course of the Avon is south-westerly by Bradford towards Bath, and so to the Severn below Bristol: the Mere, from Trowbridge flows in near Bradford. The feeders of the Frome rise near Warminster, and that stream joins the Avon below Bradford. The Salisbury Avon is formed by five arms spreading over South Wilts-the Ebele, the Nadder, t~'le Wiley, the Avon and the Bourne; the Ebele flows along the south border from east to west, and falls into the Avon below Salisbury ; the Nadder, 18 miles long, rises near Shaftesbury, under the name of the Don, and flows east to Wilton, where it joins the Wiley; the Wiley or Willy, rises under the name of the Deverill near Mere, flows north towards Warrninster, and past Heytesbury, below which a small bourn, 6 miles long, flows in; the Wiley, near Wilton, joins the Nadder, and then flows to the Avon at Salisbury, being 27 miles long; the Avon rises near Devizes, in North Wilts, and keeps a southerly direction, taking near Rushall the Pewsey stream, and so going past Amesbury to Salisbury; the Bourne rises in the middle downs to the north of Ludgershall, and flows southerly for 23 miles to Salisbury ; below Salisbury the Avon, after taking the Ebele, flows into Hampshire, and so towards the sea at Christchurch; its whole length in Wiltshire is 41 miles. Near Mere some of the feeders of the Dorsetshire Stour rise. None of the Wiltshire rivers are of much use for navigation, but they turn mills and feed the canals. Wiltshire has in the north three great lines of canal. The Thames and Severn Canal skirts the north border, passing by Cirencester, Cricklade and Lechlade. The Kennett and Avon Canal passes through the middle of Wilts, by Hungerford, Devizes and Bradford and near Trowbridge, to Bath WILTS. 1 ~
4 WILTSHIRE. (KELLY'S and Bristol. The Wilts and Berks Canal joins the above south of Melksham, and then is itself joined to the Thames and Severn Canal by a branch called the North Wilts Canal between Cricklade and Swindon. North Wilts is thus well provided with canals. South Wilts is almost destitute of canal service. The railways belong to the Great Western and London and South Western Companies : the main line of the Great Western comes in from London, south of Highworth (to which there is a branch), passes by Swindon, Dauntsey (with a branch to Malmesbury), Wootton Bassett, Chippenham, Corsham and Box, to Bath, and so to Bristol, Exeter and South Devon. Swindon is the chief locomotive and carriage factory of the company. A branch runs from Swindon by Purton and Minety to Gloucester, Cheltenham, and South Wales, and through Oxford to Worcester and Birmingham, and so to all parts of the north and east of the island. From Chippenham a line is made, called the Wilts, Somerset and Weymtmth, by or near Bradford and Trowbridge to Westbury, Warminster and Frome, and from Westbury there is a branch line to Salisbury, known as the Salisbury and Bristol line. A line from Reading to Hungerford, and thence to Marlborough (by a branch line) and Devizes, joins the main line at Holt junction near Melksham. A branch from Chippenhem to Calne is called the CalneRailway, and is worked by the Great Western Railway Company. The Midland and South Western Junction railway has a line from Cirencester through Cricklade, Swin· don1 Marlborough and Andover, to Southampton Docks. The South Western line runs from Basingstoke through Andover to Salisbury, and thence by Wilton, Dinton and Tisbury to Yeovil, Exeter and the West of England. A branch from Salisbury, through Romsey to Bishopstoke, connects Salisbury with Gosport, Portsmouth, and the South Coast line, and by boat to Ryde Pier, and another line connects Salisbury with Weymouth, Dorset. The average yearly rainfall for the whole county of Wilts may be taken at about 30 inches yearly1 which is less than that of the adjoining districts on the south and west. The line of chalk downs intercepts the southerly and southwesterly winds, and causes some of their moisture to descend as rain; still the rainfall is not so great as in Dorset to the south, or in Devon or Cornwall further west. The absorbent nature of the rock causes the surface of the chalk country to be almost dry, but by deep wells water of ex€ellent quality, though of considerable hardness, may everywhere be obtained. The north and north-west parts of Wilts belong to the oolite formations, and the rest to the chalk. The line separating these two divisions may be taken through Swindon, Calne and West bury. A small portion of oolite comes in at the south-west, between Sembly and Tisbury. The chalk district is divided into two by the vale of Pewsey, or that in which the heads of the Salisbury Avon rise, and which belongs to the greensand. The northern chalk district is that of Marlborough Downs, and the southern that of Salisbury Plain. The southern formation is broken by three faults where the chalk has been laid bare, the upper valleys of the Salisbury Avon, the Wiley and the Nadder. Many of the hills on the Downs are very high. Inkpen Beacon, where the borders of Berks, Hants and Wilts come together, is the highest chalk hill, being 1,on feet high. The Salisbury downs or plains form a high bleak ground, with scanty grass, and unpeopled, except in the valleys of the rivers, where the towns and hamlets lie close together. On one of the hills at Alton Barns is the figure of a horse of vast size cut into the chalk, which can be seen at a great distance. There is a similar figure of a horse on the side of Brat ton Hill, near West bury : these are generally supposed to be of CeltiC origin. At Cherhill, between Calne and Malmesbury, is a similar figure, but executed in modern times. The greensand forms a broad strip skirting the chalk, by the south of Swindon; near Calne, Devizes, Market Lavington, Westbury, Warminster and Mere: it likewise crops out in the valley of the Nadder, between Hindon and Swallowcliffe. South and south-east of Salisbury we find beds of the Hampshire plastic clay, Kimmeridge clay, oolitic freestone, coral rag, calcareous grit, Oxford clay, cornbrash and forest marble, belonging to the upper, middle and lower oolite, crop out in strips beyond the greensand, forming the west and north-west of the county : these have many quarries of building stone. There are mineral springs in the Oxford clay. The hills in general do not rise above 400 feet high ; but the highest, Alfred's Hill, near Stourhead, is about 800 feet high. In South Wilts and North-East Wilts there is tillage only in the dales. The great downs are gmzed by sheep, though in some places they have been bro\en up for tillage. North-West Wilts has a sub-soil of broken stone, with clay or reddish chalky loam lying upon it : here are richer soils, with much corn land, meadow and dairy ground ; the grazing is for cows and oxen, and much cheese is made. The curing 9f bacon is carried on largely, principally at Calne, and many thousand pigs are slaughtered yearly. There is little market gardening. Wilts yields limestone and freestone, chalk, marl, brickearth, corn, oxen, cheese, sheep and wool. Iron ore was raised to the extent of about 62,234 tons, valued at £12,446, and there are works for smelting at Westbury ; the quarrying of freestone is a considerable industry, n3,957 tons being procured, valued at £28,489. Wilts was formerly a great seat of the clothing trade, but this has much fallen off, and in and around Bradford there are now only a few mills and looms. Trowbridge is the head of the broadcloth weaving, which is carried on there, at Bradford and Westbury; also wool dyeing. At Salisbury some boots and shoes are manufactured. At Melksham there are looms for hair-cloth weaving and sacking and cocoa-nut fibre works. At Chippenham broadcloth is woven. Silkthrowing is carried on at Warminster. At Malmesbury silk ribbon is made. Ropes and sacking are made at Marlborough. At Wilton are carpet. works and a pianoforte felt factory. At Devizes portable engines are extensively made, and tobacco and snuff manufactured. There are malting and brewing in all the large towns. Wiltshire is in the Western circuit, has one court of quarter sessions and is divided into 16 petty sessional divisions, in the:province of Canterbury and mostly in the diocese of Salisbury, except the deaneries of Chippenham, Cricklade and Malmesbury, which are in that of Gloucester and Bristol, in the archdeaconry of Bristol. The other part forms two archdeaconries ; Sarum, with the sub-deanery of Sarum and rural deanery of Wilton, deaneries of Amesbury, divided into Amesbury and Alder bury portions ; Chalk, Chalk and Tisbury portions; Wyly, Wyly and Heytesbury portions ; and Wilts, with the deaneries of Avebury, Avebury and Cannings portions ; Marlborough, Marlborough and Pewsey portions; and Potterne, Potterne, Enford and Bradford portions. The civil parishes are 344 and parts of five others. The municipal boroughs are: Calne, population in x8g1, 3,495; Chippenham, 4,6r8; Devizes, 6,426; Malmesbury, 2,964 ; Marlborough, 3,012; Salisbury, 15,533 and Wilton, 2,120. Other towns are Bradford-on-Avon, 4,943; Cricklade, 2,027 ; Down ton, 3,378 ; Melksham, 2,073 ; New Swindon, 27,295; Trowbridge, II,7I7; Warminster, 5.563; Westbury, 6,ox4, and Wootton Bassett, 2,237. Many of these are very well built, and with good churches and town buildings. Salisbury is well known for its cathedral. There is a large college or grammar school at Marlborough, and grammar schools in the large towns. There are no watering-places or towns of resort other than for the purposes of business. Swindon has large works of the Great Western railway. The Registration Districts are:- --------------------------------------------- No. Name.

lO WJ:LTS.HIBE. GEOLOGY OF WILTSHIRE. ' IN the magazine of the Wiltshire Archreological and Natural History Society (vol. xiv.) we have a list compiled by Mr. W. Whit:tker of 169 papers, &c., by 89 authors which relate to the geology of Wilts. The whole of the surface has been mapped by the officers of the Geological Survey (Messrs. Bristow, Aveline, Hull and Whitaker), and the northern portion of the county is described in a "Survey Memoir," by Profess:)r Rtmsay. Of local workers we must name M(lssrs. Curmington, C. Moore, G. P. Scrope, C. J. A. Meycr, T. Colrington, .R. ~. Mantell, J. C. Pearce, the Rev. P. ll. Bro•lie, Professors Buckman and Rupert-Jones; whilst for our knowbiga of thJ fo3sils wa are largely in.JJ:..tJJ to Drs. Wright, Lyc:ltt, anl Woolward, Professors Morris, E. Forbes, Milne-Eciwards, BJll, &c. Unfortunately tilcsa Wvl'ks are scattere1 over numerous anl expensive scientific publications, as the volumes of the Palreontographical Society, the Quarterly Journal of th:l Goological Society, the "Geological Magazine," the "Wiltshire Magazine" above referred to, &c. RCJc:mtly Mr. Hulleston and the Rev. J. F. Blake have written a valuable account of the Coralline rocks, and the latter g3ntleman h:1.s also described the Kimmeridge Clay The recJ!lt deposits n3ar S.tlisbury which contain such interesting traces of the early existenca of man have been diligently worked by Dr. Blackmore and others, and their "finds " are to be seen in thJ BL:LCkmore Museum at Salisbury, which contains a splendiJ · series of the tools and weapons both of prehistoric mJ.n and of modern savage tribes for comparison. The excJllent work entitled "Flint Chips," \'vritten by Mr. E. T. Stevens, gives a full account of this .tdmirable collection. In thJ a':ljoining rooms of the Salisbury an1 South Wilts ::\'luseum there are some fine specimens of loc:t.l fossils. At DcvizCJs, geologieal collections may be seen in the museum of the Literary and Scientific Institution an1 in the m:15eu.n of the Wiltshire Natural History Society. At 1\hrlhoroug:i College, the School Natural Ilis;. tor_v t;ociety is also doing gooi work. The rucks wl1ic:1 form t(1e county of Wilts belong mainly to the S:conl.try or Mesozuic formation: they run across the county in bro:J.d irre~b.lar bands, which haYe a general line of direction or strilde from north-east to south-west: they inclina or slant or dip to t.u south-east, not lying now horizontally as they did when th~y were origina11y depo~itcll on som~ s::la-floor, but tilte l up towards tha north-west, so that the edges of a nqmbJr of successive rock-beds are visible, forming the irrer;ubr bands we have mentioned above. As the lowest strata ara certainly the oldest or first formed, it follows that tho~e rocks which we finu in the northwest of the county, about Braclford, Malm esbury &c. are of the most remote geologic:tl age, for as we try to follow these across the strike in a south-easterly direction, we finl they pass under newer be:ls, which in turn pass under the chalk, while the chalk is itsJlf over lain by tha Tertiary strata in the south-east corner oh the euge of the New l''orest. In describing the strat~, we shall commence in tho northwest with the oldest beds, 'and then take the others one by one, in ascending order, finally treating of the alluvial anJ other surfc1ce deposits which occur irregularly over the whole area. ' But, first looking brCta::l.ly over the entire county, we note that it may be divi1e1 into twa regio us, whose wide differ6llCe in appearance, agriculture, an':! population is entirely owing to geologic::tl causes. The first of these lies in the north-west, aml inclucle.s about one-third of the county: it has a level or undulating surf:!~.J and a south-easterly slope ; it is a district of oolitic lim3.">tu:ws and clays, and the chalk escarpmrmt forms its bounJary. The remainder of Wiltsthe southern and eastern par1s -\s mainly formed of chalk, where breezy dQwns and lo11g level treeless plateaux h<~ove a distinctiveness which instantly reveals to the discemiug ey J the nature of the rock of which they are composed. The heights above sea-level of a few points determined by the Ordnance Survey are, High worth Church, 442 feet; Crickladc Churcll. 297 feet ; Wootton Bassett Church, 424 feet ; Christian Malforu Church, 187 feet; Chippenbam Church, 184 feet; Corsham Church, 303 feet; Warminster Town Hctll, 388 feet; Tower or Downton Hill, 445 feet ; Salisbury Cathedral, 153 feet. THE LIAs.-The lias:>ic .strata only enter Wiltshire in tb,e extreme west, running up the valley Qf the Box Brook from Bathford by Ditcherirl,.,e to a little beyoncl Colerne. Ditcheridge stands on the Middle Lias; but the hard band called the "Rock-bed" is here very thiP, while a few feet of blue clay which lie upon it belong to the Vpper Lias, the beds thus thinning out greatly in thh dire<;tion. The junction of the Lias with th~ sands Qf the Oolite a'Qoye is marked by wet ground, caused by the sprmgs which are thrown out along the top of the impervious clays. THE OoLITE.-This great assemblage of strata has received its name fl"om the fact that some of .the beds of limestone which it contains have a structure like the roe of a fish: it consists of an alternation of beds of sandstone, limestone and clay, which, as a whole, attain their maximum development in Gloucestershire, where they form the Cotteswold range. As the oolitic strata are followed in a south-easterly direction, they become greatly attenuated, as has been shown by Professor Hull; still in Wiltshix·e they are of a very respectable thickness. LOWE:J. OOLITE.-Jrlir!ford Sands.-Tbese are transition or passage beds connecting the Iiassic and oolitic formations. They contain liassic ammonites, as A. bifrons, A. opalinus, 4'c. and oolitic bivalves, as Hinnites aldectus, Trigonia striata, &c. ; as Professor Phillips remarks, "before the liassic life had come to an ~nd, the oolitic life had begun." The Midford Sands are of a yellow tint, and contain concretionary masses of limestone called " sand-bats ; " they occur resting upon the Lias <1.10ng the sideg of the vallt y of the Box Brook, and are here about 40 feet in thickness. Inferior Oolite.-This is a buff-coloured sandy limestone, under which lies a rubbly becl full of corals. "It occurs at Elmhurst and Upper 'Jhockerwick, and runs up the sides of thJ .llox valley nearly to Slaughterford : from near Box it stretches through Ashley Green and Bathford to near Bradford." It is well P.Kposed in the bank of the canal opposite Limpley Stoke. and in a gully near Ch:!rlcombe church, where it is aiJout 25 feet thick. At Limpley Stoke and 13eechen Cliff the Inferior Oolite is almost en,irely composed of corals, with various species of such shells as 1hgonia, Ostrea, .:..<!. Thus the small portion of this stratum which enters Wilts, possesses neither the thickness nor the qualities which elsewhere (Cotteswolds, Ham Hill, &c.) make it such avaluable building stone. . The Fullers' Earth.-This is a becl of blue and yellow clay, from 6o to 100 feet thick ; in the lower portion it contains bands of limestone, the '' Fullers' Earth Rock." It can be traced by Bonner Down and Ashley Wood to beyond Slaughterford, and then returns on the opposite side of the valley past Box. The characteristic fossil is a small oyster named Ost1·ea acuminata. The position of the bed is rendered visible at a distance by the way in which the superincumbent beds of Great Oolite have in places slipped down over the clay; the water which issues plentifully at tile junctiOn has lessened the adhesion, and produced the catastrophes. The Fullers' Earth proper is a hydrous silicate of alumina; it is "an unctuous clay, usually of a greenish-brown or greenish-grey colour, sometimes blue: it is opaque, soft, dull, wjth a greasy feel and an earthy fracture : it yields to the nail and affords a shining streak ; it scarcely adheres to the tongue, and falls into a pulpy, impalpable powder when placed in water, without forming a paste with it." (Bristow.) It occurs in veins ft·om 18 inches to 3 feet•in thickness, and was formerly largely dug for fulling at the cloth mills, but it is not now worked. The Great Oolite.-This division, which is also known as the Bath Oolite, furnishes perhaps the most famous building stone in Engl:J.nd. It does not occupy much of the surface of Wiltshire ; from near Limpley Stoke and Corsham we can trace it to Yatton Keyn~ll and Castle Combe : it is again exposed in the valley which runs east and west by Great Sherston, and we a~ain find it (this time brought up by a fault) on th~ east of Tetbnry. The thickness of the Great Oolite varies from 100 to 200 feet; the upper beds are blue limestones, weathering white when exposed to the atmosphere, and so hard as to have been largely used for mending the roads ; below these come the fine oolittc freestones which furnish such valuable building material. At Corsham the stone is worked underneath higher strata (forest marble) by means of shafts (sometimes 70 feet deep) and tunnels; the underground quarries here are perhaps the largest and best worked in the kingdom. Box Bill yields a stone of a ver:y superior quality as to fineness of texture, called Scallet. •• The absence of fossils renders the stone more valuable as a free~tone, as it then yields more readily to the saw and to the chisel; when fossils are abundant the stone is best adapted for rolll{h building purposes, such as walls and the foundations of nouses.'' (H. B. Wood ward.) When first removed frmn the quarry the stone is soft and moist, and easily carved or sawn, but as it dries it hardens and becomes an excellent hard white stone. Of fossils, univalve shells, such as lVerintea 'Voltzii, Purpuroidea Morrisii, &c.. and many hi valves, as 'l'rivonia costato• Tancredia brevis, &c., are abundant, especially m the upper limestones.
Y.J 'WIL1f!Hl1Ut. ll The Forest Marble (with Bradj01·d Clay).-The strata which own this name occupy a considerable surface area in the north and west of Wilt hire. From Bradford-onAvon and Corsham (where they are well exposed in the railway cutting), they run northward to Tetbury, and then turning north-east form a tract some 5 or 6 mile8 wide, on which stand the villages of Ashley, Crud well and Kemble. The strata are a variable series of shelly limestones, sands and clays, about (I<'ig. 91) 6o feet thick near Tetbury, but thickening as they are followed southwards. Ne!lr Bradford a thick mass of clay, the Bradford ctay, is locally developed in the lower portion of the Forest Marble. It is a pale grey clay about 40 feet thick, containing a little carbonate of lime and enclosing thin slabs of brownish limestone and sandstone ; a fossil cJ.lled the Pear Encrinite (Apiocrinites rotundus) is abundant in the Bradford Clay; its frag-ments are called " coach wheels " by the quarrymen. 'l'h3 larl:l'e slabs of coarse limestone furnished by the Forest Marble proper, are, according to Professor Buckman, " of great value for forming the sides of piggeries and cattle sheds. The smaller pieces broken up form a very durable material for road-making, and some of the thicker blue-centred slabs are used for building purposes. As a soil the Forest Marble is usually poor, but capable of great improvement by draining and cultivation." The remains of the oldest known British Crab (Palteinachus longipes) were found by l\fr. Wllliam Bury, in the Forest Marble near Malmesbury. The Cornbrash.-This is a rubbly, pale-coloured eartby nmes~one, about 20 feet thick. We can trace 1t betweeq - tranquil sea. Aft~r tli.e acc..t:nutation of a great thickness of mud, an elevation of thil :lea-floor accompanied by a clear· ing of the waters made the conditions fit for the growth of coral reefs. In the Coral Rag we have a bed of rubbly oolitic limestone, full of the remains of corals and about 20 f~et thick : it is accompanied by beds of sand and calcareous sandstones, termed the Upper and th.e Lower Calcareous Grit. Near Westburv a bed oF iron-ore (hydrated peroxide) has been argely worked ; it occupies a narrow strip of ground running north and south near the railway station, and the bed of or:> is from u to 14 feet in thickness. In 1877 there were raised 79,176 tons of iron-ore, valued at £19,784, but in 1879 the amount had faUen to 47,623 tons, valued at £9,525. Ostrea deltoidea :is a very common fossil here. At Steepla Ashton, many fine corals, such as Thecosmilia annularis, are found, mostly on the surface of the ploughed fields ; at Seend the Lower Calcareous Grit is wea exposed whera the furnaces for the iron-ore stand. From this point we can follow the beds by Westbrook to Calne, and thence by Hillmarton and 'Purton to Highworth. At the latter place 'the total thickness is about 100 feet, and fine sections are exhibited where the beds are quarried for building stone. Spines and plates of a sea-urchin (,Cidaris .ftorigemma) aro very characteristic of the Coral Rag. Physically this bed forms a ridge or escarpmem;-r~(lng about 100 feet above the plain of Oxford Clay ; by its aec-omposition it produces a light sandy arable soil. At Calne specimens of a new genus of sea-urchin (Pelanechinus) which possessed a flexible test have l;>een found by Mr. Keeping. • - ~::, -·- z V . • .. l<'ig. 91.

They thus show a continuation of that upheaval of the oolitic sea-floor which we have already noted when describing the Portland Beds, and which finally resulted in 'the formation of a continent occupying part of wh'tt is now the Atlantic Ocean. NEOCOMIAN (OR LOWER CRETACEOUS) li'ORMATION,- Ovar 1.he contine11t just referred to a great river flowed eastw:mls, Lhe deposits in whose estuary constitute the Hastings Sar.d:> and W eald Clay of Kent, Surrey and Sussex: of the Hastings Sands a small outcrop has been mapped by the Geological Survey at Catherine Ford on the Nadder. · Lower Greensand.-T)1e sandy beds of this age are from 2,5 to 30 feet thick ; they commenC3 on the south at Poolshot Graen, near to which is an outlier at Seend, where a patch of Lower Gre:msand rests on Kimmeridge Clay ; here it contains a rich I1Jd of iron ore, which has been largely worked. The outcrop broadens betwee::1 Rowde, Bromham, and Bowden Hill, but soon narrows again to a band about a quarter of a mile wide, which can be traced by the dryness of the ground throu6h Blackland, Corton, and Swindon Reservoir. At Sands Farm, east of Calne, a bed of very pure and white quartz sand has long been worked, and is carried to great distances for domestic purposes. Fossils are scanty in the Lower Greensand, but the curious shell Diceras Lonsdalii has been found. The beds are evidently a marine littoral deposit, and indicate subsidence. THE CRETACEOUS FORMATION.-The lowest division of the cretaceous beds proper is termed the Gault. It is a stiff blue clay, full of small spangles of mica, and occasionally it contains calcareous concretions, septaria, and phosphatic nodules ; it varies in thickness from So to 140 feet, and can be traced continuously, as a band of low ground at the base of the chalk escarpment, from Dilton by Westbury, Coulston, Heddington, Cliffe Typard, Wroughton, to Wanborough Marsh and Hinton Mill. It is worked for brickmaking at several points along this line. The Gault is found along both sides of the Nadder Valley, at Donhead and Sutton Mandeville on the south side, and at Dinton on the north, but is absent at East Knoyle. The Upper Greensand is in thickness equal to the Gault. It is a grey or brown sand, speckled with green grains, and containing irregular beds of sandstone and chert. :From Shaftesbury it passes eastwards by Charlton and Berwick St. John to Barford St. Martin; then turns west by Knoyle, skirting the chalk by Warminster and Westbury, and then running like a bay into the chalk past Pewsey and Milston tn Burbage. From Devizes the outcrop narrows greatly through Cherhill, Compton Bassett, Wan borough, and Little Hinton. Many echinoderms (sea-urchins) have been found in this formation in the neighbourhood of Warminster. The Chalk.-The well-known pure white earthy limestone which we call ''Chalk" occupies a larger area in Wiltshire than all the other strata put together. From Cranborne Chase in the south it stretches over Salisbury Plain, and th_en passes north-east by Marlborough ; its total thickness is here about 8oo feet, in which the following sub-divisions can be traced. At the base we have a bed called Chloritic Marl, about 6 feet thick; it is of a pale yellow colour, with green grains of glauconite and phosphatic nodules. Next comes the Chalk ll:farl (locally called Maim), or Grey Chalk, about 50 feet thick; springs issue from the top, but in summer these become so dried up as to be without water for months together ; shark's teeth are common, with Ammonites varians and other fossils. Above this we have the Lower Chalk, or Chalk-without-flints, about goc feet thick ; it is softer than the Upper Chalk, and of milk-white or creamy tint. The Upper Chalk, or Chalk-with-flints, is about 400 feet thick ; the layers of flint which mark the planes of bedding form a conspicuous feature in pits in the Upper Chalk, and enable us at once to distinguish it from the beds below. Fossils are common, mostley rounded sea-urchins, such as Ananchytes ovatus, Cidari11, Micraster, and Galerites, with remains of sponges and Ventriculites. Between the Upper and Lower Chalk is a hard bed which Mr. Whitaker has named the Chalk Rock: it is a hard cream-coloured chalk with layers of green nodules, is well jointed, breaks with an even fracture, and rings under the hammer ; sections are exposed near the top of the roadcutting on the northern side of the Pewsey Valley, about 4 miles south-south-west of Marlborough, also at Leigh Hill, and on the top of Whitesheet Hill, where it is about 3 feet thick. The Chalk forms a bold escarpment facing west and north ; in North Wilts " the unequal denudation of the hard and soft chalk forms a striking feature, especially when viewed from the north-west and west. The hard chalk rising abruptly out of the high and broad plateau of the soft chalk, the bare greasy sides and tops of the former .:ontrast strongly with the culti¥ated plains of the latter; and wb.ite tile plateau of the Lower Chalk rises and falls in gentle undulations, interspersed with small streams, the Upper Chalk is cut up into numerous ridges and valleys, and is nearly destitute of water." (Aveline.) The "balks," or "linchets," or terraces which run along the slopes of the chaik escarpment, are due to the down· wash of soil by rain. The Upper Chalk forms a white land, with a scanty covering of soil and a short sweet turf ; the beech and box grow well upon it, and it affords pasturage for great flocks of sheep; much of it, however, has of late years been brought under cultivation. The great expanse of this rot"k, which is about equally divided bet-ween Hants .and Wilts, forms what Pennant calls the "great central Patria of the chalk," the centre whence all the ranges of this rock traversing our island diverge. There are many pits or quarries where the chalk js worked to burn into lime. " At .Bishopston Down, near 'Varminster, enormous blocks of crystalline carbonate of lime, one of which weighed so cwt., were cut into slabs for mantel-pieces. Calcareous spar also occurs in a chalkquarry at Nook, near Heytesbury, in blocks less both in number and size." (Conybeare.) At Cherhill, east of Calne, a "White Horse" has been formed by cutting away the turf on the chalk escarpment. l\iicroscopical examination shows chalk to be composed of the minute sllells of animals called foraminifera ; it was formed by their slow deposition on the bed of a deep ocean. 'FERTIARY PERIOD.-EOCENE FORMATION,-Though the beds we are now about to describe rest upon the chalk, there intervenes a period of time to be reckoned perhaps in millions of years. For during this interval the whole life of the globe had had time to change : not one species of animal or plant is common to the chalk and to these Eocene beds which rest upon it, and such a change could only have been accomplish~d in a vast period of time. The Eocene strata of England lie in two basins, viz., the London .Basin and the Hampshire Basin ; outliers only of the former occur in Wilts, but of the latter the main outcrop enters the south-eastern extremity of the county. Hampshire Basin.-On each side of the chalk ridge called Dean Hill, about 5 miles south-east of Salisbury, we tind a narrow band of the 1Voolwich and Reading Beds-unfossiliferous plastic clays and mottled sands. On these rests t.he London Clay, forming the Earldom Woods, .Bentley Wood, &c Then we get the Bl}gshot Sands, forming Hamptwortb, Landford, and West Wellow Commons, with an outlying patch at Alderbury and West Grinstead. :1-ondon Ba.~in.-Capping the hills round Great and Little Bedwin, outliers of the divisions of the Eocene strata occur. The Reading Beds and London Clay are here very thin, not more than 12 to 15 feet each in thickness, so that we are close to their original western termination. THE DRIF'l' OR SuRFACE DEPOSITS.-ln the counties south of the Thames, no clear evidence of glacial action has yet been made out, and it seems probable that this district was above water when icebergs came sailing over the submerged more central portions of our island. The brick-earths of the Marlborough Downs, the clay-with-flints often found upon the chalk, and the flint gravel and quartzose gravels which are seen lying on the Oxford Clay are of very dubious and uncertain age; the gravels and alluvial deposits which border th·~ present streams are, however, of much more recent formation, and form the .:ast or newest of the geological series. The 1Jn1-ia Stones, Sarsens, or Grey Wethers are huge blocks o: 1 siliceous sandstone which are strewn in great numbers over the surface of the Chalk. The circles of Stonehenge and Avebury are mainly formed of these stones, the inner circles at. Stonehenge, however, are of greenstone; similar, Professor Ramsay says, to some of the Silurian rocks of Nl'lrth Wales. The Grey Wethers are probably the relics of a bed of sandstone contained in the Bagshot Series (Eocene), which formerly stretched much further to the west than they do at present. PREHISTORIC MAN.-Wilts is rich indeed in the remains of races of men of whom no writt~>n records exist. The earliest traces of man's presence in this district consist of certain roughly-shaped flint implements found in gravels on the sides of the valleys of the Avon, Wiley, &c. at Bemerton, Fisherton, Milford Hill, Lake, Ashford, Britford, Downton, &c. These gravel-beds are from 40 to 100 feet above the present level of the rivers, a fact which alone marks their great age, since the river has, since their formation, deepened its valley to that extent. These rough tools belong to Sir John Lubbock's Palaolitkic Stone A.ge. Of much later date, and showing marks of great progress, are the elegantly fashioned and skilfully chipped stone im· plements of the Neolithic A.,qe-the celts, chisels, scrapers, arrow-heads, knives, &c., which have been found scattered on the surface in so many localities in Wiltshire. but more especially at Avebury, Durrington, Evcrlcy, Roundwny
