Excerpt from The Journal of Microscopy and Natural Science, Vol. 14: The Journal of the Postal Microscopical Society
If our valley has been rich in floral treasures, we can point to far more ancient stores Of Nature in the wonderful Oolitic coral reef on which the Old wood we have mentioned stands. This reef extends for miles, and we have traced it on the hills which form the other boundary Of our valley, telling us Of pre-historic times, when the Old ocean beat its restless waves against the coral shores Of this inland sea, and we can imagine our hill tops bearing those curious trees and plants peculiar to that different Climate and epoch. Even then a few kinds Of insects (chiefly N europtera) sported Over the waters, while the Ammonites floated on the sur face Of the waves, and the terrible Plesiosaurus, like a gigantic swan, searched for its prey on the incoming tide.
