SAURIAN REMAINS.

The strata around Horsham, (which is situated in the Wealden formation)
are celebrated for the abundance of the exuviae, of large saurian
animals.--Many of the bones of the Iguanadon, an enormous reptile, which
was formerly an inhabitant of these districts, are now in the possession
of Mr G. B. Holmes, of Horsham, by whom these particulars are obligingly
communicated. The animal which more nearly approximates to it, than any
other now in existence, is the Iguana Cornuta a native of the tropical
parts of America, and from its resemblance to which it has received its
name; but more particularly on account of the teeth of the Iguanadon,
which resemble those of no other animal than the Iguana, of which one
species (the Cornuta,) has, like the Iguanadon, a single horn. If we
take the Iguana as our model, and attempt to reconstruct the enormous
Iguanadon in just proportion, from the relics which have been frequently
exhumed, we shall produce a monster 100 feet in length, which there is
every reason to believe is not an exaggeration.--Besides the Iguanadon,
we find the bones of the crocodile, the Plesiosaurus, the turtle, and
other amphibious reptiles; with the carbonized remains of
monocotyledoneous plants, arborescent ferns, and palms, &c.

WATER.

The water around Horsham is of a very superior quality, and extremely
abundant. It is intended shortly to supply each house by means of pipes.
At Tower Hill, is a spring, by whose waters every thing over which it
passes is encrusted, in consequence of its depositing a small portion of
carbonate of lime, with which it is impregnated in passing the limestone
strata, through which it flows.

POPULATION

The population of Horsham, has of late years greatly increased, and at
present amounts to nearly 6000. The following table will afford a view
of its advance during the
