itself consists of ujipcr buds of Ayniestrey Limestone, composed for 

 tJhe most part of Madrepores, Corals, and Shells of the Pentamerus, 

 Atrypa, Lepttena, Orthis Orbicularis, Ehynconella, &c. ; but time 

 and Treather are fast effaciag these memoranda, and vegetation 

 is attempting to conceal the masses of rock that lie scattered over 

 an area of two or three acres, 



" Like crags and rocks confusedly hurled, 

 The fragments of an earlier world." 



Li proceeding hence along the outer northern border of the great 

 upheaved valley, the botanist recognised an abundance of the 

 Centaurea Scabiosa and Saxafraga Granulata. Tlie party now 

 proceeded towards the British Camp, known by the name of the 

 Saxon " St. Ethelbeit," where part of the earthworks are stUl 

 discernible : hence were brought within view classic " SUuria," the 

 Syenite of the Malverns, the Basalt of Titterstone, the Old Red of 

 Eadnorshii-e and Breconshire, the Cornstone ridges of Herefordshire, 

 and the Limestone wall of the Forest of Dean, with the Oolitic 

 formations of the Severn and Cotswold. It was on this spot that 

 the Club experienced the hospitality of Mr. Evans, of Sufton Court, 

 who, though absent from the mansion, had ordered there an excellent 

 supply of refreshments. After dispensing these beneath the lofty 

 well-known Firs, we proceeded to Hutton's or "Adam's Eocks," at the 

 eastern edge of the camp; from this place the "Valley of Elevation" 

 is seen at a glance, and the central Dome of Caradoc Sandstone 

 rises through the deposits before you to the south-east. 



The geologists of the party then made for the Dormington Lime- 

 kilns, as mentioned elsewhere ; the botanists met with Paris 

 Quadrifolia, Hieraceum Murorum, Geranium Lucidum, HeUeborus 

 Fsetidus, and Viridis ; also the AUium Ursinum, or Wild Garlic in 

 abundance. Li Dormington Wood, and near the Limekilns, were 

 found the Eanunculus Parviflora, and the Columbine or Aquilecria 

 Vulgaris, Chlora PerfoUata, Eurotium Cicutareum, FUago Minima, 

 and Verbenum Lactanse ; the ConvaUaria Majalis was also met with 

 plentifully in Checkley Wood.
