Abstract
DURING the past thirty years many deep borings have been carried out in Great Britain. Some of these have been put down to tap deep-seated water-bearing formations; others have been made in search of hidden coalfields, particularly in the east and south-east of England. Since the formations to be sought for lie buried under a thick cover of later beds, usually presenting a different lithological facies underground from that along the outcrops, the identification of strati-graphical horizons in these rocks by means of fossils becomes a matter of great practical importance, and in this direction the studies carried out by the Geological Survey have proved of immense value to the mining engineer in Kent and in the Yorkshire-Nottingham coalfield.
