Extract

In one of his recent visits to the Natural History Museum, Major C. E. Beadnell kindly showed me a fine example of the well-known shell Pleurotoma prisca, which had been obtained some years ago by his son, Mr. Hugh J. L. Beadnell, F.G.S. (now of the Geological Survey of Egypt), when collecting specimens from the Barton Clay (Middle Eocene) in the historical cliffs at Barton, Hampshire, whence, prior to 1766, Gustavus Brander, F.R.S., made his famous collection, some of the specimens of which are still preserved in the British Museum (Natural History).
