27. Eniker, near Ledbury.— Shale bluish-green, 

 with a considerable quantity of minute mica-scales, 

 some prismatic calcite, small masses of iron pyrites, 

 clear and opaque crystalline calcite, one Lingula, 

 some minute Tentaculites, and small Brachiopoda. 

 The microzoa from this gathering were all dusted 

 over with very minute scales of white mica. 



The Ostracoda, of which there were only nine 

 species, call for no special notice. 



28. Coneygree Wood, near Ledbury. — Yellowish 

 shale, with minute scales of w^hite mica, some brass- 

 coloured mica, some clear and opaque calcite, and 

 well-rounded quartz-grains. Ten extra-small pearls, 

 a few Polyzoa and Crinoids, and some small Brachio- 

 jDoda were obtained. 



Ostracoda, 13 species. Primitia ornata occurred in 

 this gathering. 



29. Presthope, near Station. — Yellowish shale, 

 containing clear and opaque calcite (frequent), some 

 minute black scoriaceous lava, a few rounded quartz- 

 grains, minute aggregates of calcite, and some ex- 

 ceedingly small scales of white mica. In the Lime- 

 stone (Wenlock) at this locality were some thin 

 lenticular bands of chert up to one inch in thickness. 

 The organic remains consisted of a few examples of 

 Lagena Icevis, two spicules of Astrceospongia patina, 

 Rcem., 16 spicules of Hyalostelia gracilis, Hinde, 32 

 Lagence, and one pearl. 



Ostracoda, 15 species, including Beyrichia Klcedeni 

 sub-var. clausa, Strepula irregularis (frequent), and 

 Moorea Smithii (rare). 



30. Presthope, one mile soutk-west from Sta- 

 . tion. — This quarry is situated near to the escarpment 



of the Wenlock Limestone called Wenlock Edge, 

 which extends in a N.E. and S.W. direction for 

 twenty miles and rises to a considerable height 

 above the valley that separates it from the Long- 

 mynd Hills, four miles to the S.W. The Silurian 

 Limestones in this district are said to measure 350 

 feet in thickness. The gathering of shale from this
