 Uasmus, Pholadomya, six inches long, Terehratula punctata ; also 

 Belemnites paxillosus, which as usual were called " thunderbolts" 

 by the quarrymen. From here the party walked to Dursley, a town 

 nestled in a bay among the hills, where they had tea ; they 

 returned over Stinchcombe Hill (725 feet) to the Station. 



The fourth walk was on October 16th. Bj train to Bath. 

 Here they were met by the Rev. H. H. Winwood, Secretary of 

 the Bath Archaeological and Natural History Field Club, who 

 kindly conducted the party to the cuttings on the new railway 

 from Bath to Evercreech. First those on the Bath side of the 

 tunnel were visited. The '* Midford Sands " as they are perhaps 

 best called, were exceedingly well seen, with the Cephalopoda bod 

 at the top. They then walked over Combe Down in preference to 

 going through the tunnel, and examined the Sections on the othe r 

 side. At the other entrance the Midford Sands are seen again. Some 

 good Trigo7iia costata were obtained from the Inferior Oolite beds.
