Although the Mendip Hills have received a large share of attention from geologists since the beginning of the present century, and particularly from Buckland and Conybeare, Weaver, De la Beche, Ramsay, and Moore, there are still many points of great interest that require to be worked out.
page 400 note 1 I should mention that my observations were made in 1868 and 1869 when engaged with my colleagues, Messrs. W. A. E. Ussher and J. H. Blake, in resurveying the Mendip Hills, under the superintendence of Mr. H. W. Bristow, F.R.S.
page 401 note 1 Mr.Sanders, , F.R.S., has collected a series of fossils from these beds, which he has placed in the Museum at Bristol. They have also been briefly alluded to by Mr. C. Moore, Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc., vol. xxiii., p. 492,Google Scholar and Mr. E. B. Tawney, ibid., vol. xxii., p. 79. Lists will be published in the official explanation which will accompany the new edition of Sheet 19 of the Geological Survey Map.
