Extract

In the Geological Magazine for March, 1891, p. 119, I drew attention to the occurrence of a large Greywether in Moscow Street, Bayswater. Another and smaller example has lately been discovered in the foundations for the new buildings of the Victoria and Albert Museum, South Kensington. The excavations show:

Made ground and soil, about 5 feet.

Gravel, full thickness about 20 feet.

London Clay with cement stones.
