THIS fauna resembles that found by Mantell a hundred years ago in the “Chalk Marl” of the South Downs at Hamsey, near Lewes (see specimens in the Natural History Museum, South Kensington), but the occurrence of such a fauna in the familiar North Downs of Surrey seems hitherto unknown. I think, then, that this find should be recorded, that others may, when possible, see how far the faunal richness is local.
