Chalk is a white, soft, earthy, very pure limestone: its

structure ie homogeneous to the naked eye, but when ex-

amined microscopically it is found to be composep of count-

less numbers of shell.s of famminifera. It was probably

formed in a deep and open sea. Between Knockholt and
Orpington, the chalk outcrop is abont 5 miles wide. Passing

eastward11 we find it broaden to about 12 miles, running

north rigltt to the Thames at Dartford and Gravesend.

From Chath~m to FaverslJam the breadth north of the es-

carpment is from 4 to 8 miles, but in East Kent it is again

wide, !!tretchinj,! north nearly to Canterbury and Sandwich.

Dipping under the river Stour, the chalk rises again to form

the Isle of Thanet : it is also exposed at Cliffe in the Hun-

&ed of Hoo, and along the npthrow (south) side of a. line of

fault which extends from Lewisham to Woolwich Dockyard.

PosT-TEBTIABY DEPOSITS.- The absence of the Drift

(glacial clays and gravels) allows us at once to state that all

the various beds of gravel, sand, or brick-earth, which rest

in an irregular manner on all or any of the rock masses we

have been describing, are due to the agency of variom

atmospheric agents of denudation, of which rain and rivers

take the chief place. Many of the gravel beds occur far up

on the sides of the valleys, and so give us,a means of estima-

ting the amount of denudation which the rivers have effected.

Thus the ".Bone-bed" at Folkestone is-a deposit of marl and

flint gravel, which is considered to have been deposited by

the atream which now flows into Folkestone Harbour, no less

than a hundred feet beneath it. The beds of brick-earth and

gravel at Crayford and Erith are favourite hunting-grounds

of London geologists: here many species nf land .1nd fresh-

lf&ter shellB occur, especially Cyrenajlumt7lalis, now living

in the waters of the Nile. Bones of large quadrupeds-the

elephant, rhinoceros, bear, &e. have also been found. Ele-

t~nt bones have occurred in the gravels at Aylesford and

idsrone. ·
