NOTES ON THE LIAS IN THE NEIGHBOUEHOOD OE EADSTOCK:. 181 



7-feet of "White Lias are seen. If the quarry was worked deeper 

 we should come to the Rhaetic Shales, which are seen in several 

 railway sections about here. The Gotham landscape-bed, which 

 forms the base of the White Lias in the Bristol district, has been 

 noted by our President, Mr. "W. Sanders, F.R.S., in his map, 

 near Welton, and other localities in the area. 



In Ham quarry, near Paulton, we get some of the lower beds 

 again. 



Section at Sam Quarry. 



We have seen that bed (i) belongs to the Bucklandi zone, but 

 in this quarry, on the stone heaps, we found Am. phnorMsy 

 Terebratula punctata, and Ostrea anetis in blocks, which ap- 

 parently came from this bed. The Ammonite therefore extends 

 up into the Bucklandi zone. We consider the beds below as the 

 proper representatives of the Planorbis zone ; but the question 

 wants much more working out. 



From Timsbury we have obtained a good many fossils. 

 Brachiopoda are abundant in the L. Lias here. 



In this section, between the White Lias and bed (i), there are 

 more than twice as many beds as in Bowldish quarry, but still 

 only about half as many as in the first section noticed at Eadstock.
