Extract

The author, after mentioning his previous communications on this subject, stated, that continued investigations of the deposit had yielded the extraordinary number of about 150 species of Diatomaceæ, and that as several of these had been only recently observed, it was nearly certain that more yet remained.

Of these species, from 12 to 15 appear to be undescribed, and there are also 7 or 8 new to Britain, or not hitherto admitted as British species.
