The cause, or causes, which result in the foliation of igneous rocks is a subject which at present occupies the attention of many geologists, and seems likely, in the near future, to lead to some discussion. In view of this, a short account of the foliated granite of the Himalayas may be of interest. It may be as well, however, to preface my remarks by saying that I believe that foliation may be produced in several distinct ways, and the explanation which I offer of the mode in which the foliation of the Himalayan granite has been brought about is only intended to apply to the case of that granite.In the following pages I propose to give a brief summary only of some of the more important results worked out in detail in a series of papers published in the Eecords of the Geological Survey of India; and to add thereto a brief consideration of the question whether the foliation of the gneissose-granite of the Himalayas

Owing to the impossibility of making an accurate Survey of many of the flatter and Drift-covered portions of England, in the absence of sections, the light boring tools so extensively used by the Geological Survey of Belgium have been experimentally tried during the last few months in the Isle of Wight. The results arrived at are of so much interest that the Director has requested me to draw up this preliminary notice.The Hempstead Beds, which were thought to be confined to the outlier at Hempstead Cliff and another of unknown extent in Parkhurst Forest, prove to be much more important, indeed they occupy about half the Tertiary area of the Isle of Wight.

Some new species having been found in the Isle of Wight during the lately renewed examination of its geology by the Geological Survey, and the known Wealden species of that island not having been hitherto so distinctly indicated as might be, it is thought advisable to give some notes on, and a resume of, this interesting series of fossil species.

The Oratory of the Holy Trinity at Barton, in the Isle of Wight, came to an end long before the general dissolution of religious houses, and thus escaped the notice of Dugdale. Sir Richard Worsley's History of the Isle of Wight (page 177) contains a short account of it. The oratory was founded in 1275, by two parish priests, master Thomas de Winton, rector of Godshill, and Sir John de Insula (de l'lsle), rector of Shalfleet. They were men of property and good family, and I suppose that their object in adding another to the numerous religious houses in the island was that there should be one such house under the direct jurisdiction of the bishop of the diocese, owing no allegiance to the pope, or to any of the existing monastic bodies under his influence.

River Bed

The remains of Birds from Quaternary deposits in this country have been so rarely recorded, that any fresh evidence, throwing light upon our Pleistocene avian fauna, cannot but be of interest. The specimen about to be described was found in the “Mundesley River Bed,” from whence was obtained the Emys lutaria described in this Magazine in 1879 (Dec. II. Vol. VI. p. 304). In a note appended to that paper, Mr. H. B. Woodward has given a short account of this Mundesley deposit, and it will be found fully described in the Geological Survey Memoir, by Mr. C. Reid, “On the Geology of the Country around Cromer,” pp. 119 and 126.

In 1863, Heer and Pengelly published in the ‘Phil. Trans.’ an account of these lignite-beds and their flora. Heer classed the lignite as Lower Miocene, considering it equivalent to the Aquitanian of Prance and to the Hamstead Beds of the Isle of Wight. These latter are now referred to the Middle Oligocene, and many of the other deposits called Lower Miocene in Heer’s day are now classed as Upper Oligocene. A statement by Mr. Starkie Gardner, that Heer’s Bovey plants are the same as those found in the Bournemouth Beds (Middle Eocene), has caused the Bovey Beds to be classed as Eocene in recent text-books and on recent maps of the Geological Survey, leaving a great gap in the geological record in Britain. Every division, from Upper Oligocene to Upper Miocene, was supposed to be missing.

A Small series of rocks collected at several localities in the Tonga Islands by Lieutenant J. A. Waugb, R.N., during the voyage of the “Penguin” in 1895, has been forwarded to the Geological Survey for examination, by Admiral Wharton, R.N., F.R.S., Hydrographer to the Admiralty. As in some particulars these rocks supplement those already described by Mr. A. Harker (GKOL. MAG. 1891, p. 250), from the same group of islands, it seems desirable that a short account of them should be placed on record.
