Abstract
IN November, 1881, Miss Eleanor A. Crmerod, F.M.S., of Isleworth, found the remarkable instrument here illustrated, and kindly added it to my collection. It was found in the gravel and brick-earth thrown out of an excavation made for the new Hounslow and London Railway, immediately south of Osterley Park, near Isleworth. The excavation at this spot showed about three feet of brick-earth resting on eight feet of gravel, and at this depth the London clay was reached, a foot or two of which was exposed. The gravel showed horizontal seams of fine sand, and agreed well with the well-known Thames gravel at Acton and Ealing.
