Lloydii, and P. rostratus. Unfoitunatcly tlio fish ai'c never found 

 entire. It was from Mr. Gill tliat Mr. Eay Lankesteb obtained 

 a portion of Pteraspis -with the scales attached. 



At Acton Beauchamp, my friend Ma. Humphrey Salwey, of 

 Ludlow, found a new Cephalaspis, now named in honour of the 

 discoverer, C. Salweyii. I have heard of fossil fish being discovered 

 near Tedstono Delamere, but never saw a plate of one there 

 myself; although near Bromyard I liave seen the roads inended 

 with stone containing fragments of Pteraspis. I am not acquainted 

 with the district between Thornbury and Stoke Bliss, but have 

 geologised over the iipper part of this district, from Upper Sapey 

 to Srunford. The Old Rod is still the rock of the county, but 

 unfossiliferous as for as my experience goes. Mammoth's teeth 

 liave been discovered in drift above the Teme, near Stockton, a few 

 miles north of Upper Sapey. I have also seen the teeth of Rhinoceros 

 in the possession of Mr, Jones of Cleobury Mortimer, from the 

 Teme gravels. 



NO. 6. THE FROiME DISTRICT. 



Between Stcen's Bridge, near Humbcr, on the west, and Flaggoner's 

 Green, near Bromyard, on the oast, the northern boundary of tlii.s 

 district is formed by the Leominster and Bromyard turnpike road. 

 From Fla^'goner's Green, the eastern boundary follows the Bromyard 

 and Ledbury road, until within five miles of the latter place; it then 

 turns south-westwards, by Canon Frome and Ashperton, to tho 

 Ledbury and Hereford road, which it meets at the Trumpet Inn, 

 and follows westwards to Dormington. From theuce the western 

 boundary follows tlie principal roads passing Bartestrco Chapel, 

 AVitliington, Felton, and Bodonham ; near which latter place it takes 

 the course of the Ilumbcr brook, and returns along its course to 

 Steen's Bridge. The drainage of the eastern side of this district is 

 effected by the Frome and its tributary the Leddow. The western 

 half is drained by small tributaries of the Lugg proper.
