Excerpt from Memoirs of the Geological Survey, England and Wales: The Geology of the Country Around Dorchester The district described in the present Memoir was originally mapped for the Geological Survey by the late H. W. Bristow and was included in Sheets 15, 16, 17 and 18 of the Geological Survey Map of England published between the years 1850 and 1856. In these maps the superficial deposits were not repte sented. Recently (1894 - 8) the ground has been re-surveyed on maps of the scale of six inches to one mile by Mr. Clement Reid, except the south-west corner of the map previously te-mapped by Mr. A. Strahan and the north-west corner re-mapped by Mr. J ukes-browne: The superficial deposits have now been surveyed and they are shown upon the map, only one edition of which is published. The country around Dorchester has not attracted much attention from' geologists, for it is an inland area, not exhibiting clear natural sections and yielding few fossils that cannot more conveniently be obtained in adjoining districts. Of the few papers that refer to it, nearly all treat it as an outlying part of a larger region. References to these papers will be found in the Geological Bibliography of Dorset, published last year in the Memoir on the Geology of Purbeck. Prestwich, the Rev. Osmond Fisher, and Dr. Charles Barrois are almost the only writers who have much to say about the district, for no Memoir was published to accompany the original maps of the Geological Survey. The present explanation has been prepared by Mr. Reid. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
