have had a share, the meeting at this beautiful and interesting 
place was only attended by two Members; and the Hon. See. 
being himself unable to attend, he is indebted to his friend, the 
Rey. F. Crouch, for the following account of their proceedings. 
The day’s work began at the Forge Bridge, at Downton, on 
Downton Sandstone, passing into the Ludlow Bone bed, a few 
yards further on the same side of the bridge. Crossing the bridge, 
the party followed the Downton Sandstone to the tin mlll, where 
the passage beds, between Silurian and Old Red Sandstone, were 
exposed, similar to those in the Railway cutting near Ludlow. 
Retracing their steps they came upon the Old Red Sandstone 
in the Gorge, and followed up the strata in the escarpment of 
Aymestry limestone at Downton, in the rock. On the way to 
Leintwardine they stopped to examine Lower Ludlow beds, 
where a good specimen of the Silurian Shrimp (Ceratiocaris) was 
found. At Leintwardine, so rich in fossils, especially Star fish, 
here first found in abundance in Silurian strata, the Geologists 
were not very successful, though a few turned up with a silver 
hammer. 
Ascending Mocktree Hill, the Members returned to Ludlow 
to dinner. 
The day was fortunately fine, and the excursion a most 
agreeable one, in the midst of beautiful scenery, and in a country 
fertile in Geological treasures. 
On the 5th of September, the Club met at Blisworth, at 1 
o’clock. There the party divided, the Archeologists going on to 
Northampton, to inspect the churches and antiquities of the city. 
The Geologists went to the quarries of Inferior Uolite, exten- 
__ sively worked for the ironstone, and then ascended the hill near 
the village, where there are several quarries of Great Oolite, 
which is largely used for chimney pieces and other economical
