IN the memoir on East Somerset and the Bristol Coal-tields 

 published by the Geological Survey in December, 1876, at 

 p. 78, we read as follows : — 



''Behind Branch Huish Farm 4-ft. 7-in. of Penarth beds are 

 " shown, consisting of White Lias Hmestones capped by the Sun-bed 

 " 8 inches in thickness, overlain by 2 ft. of Lias, which again is 

 "'capped by 5 feet 9 inches of Inferior Oolite." 

 Again at p. 98 ihid : — 



" Behind Branch Huish Farm, south of Radstock, a quarry 

 ''shows the following section : —
