Red is at the foot of the Trimpley anticlinal; a small frag- 
ment of the Pteraspis Lloydii was detected here. Beyond 
this, northern drift gravel is mingled with Severn Channel 
(marine) gravel and sand, and forms a thick capping to the 
same series of coal measures (sandstone and shale) already de- 
scribed. The cutting, 64 feet in height, at the Victoria Bridge, 
over the Severn, exhibited a fine series of Oxideous clays and 
marls, covering up typical yellow-jointed sandstones of the 
upper coal measures. From this spot the party proceeded 
through Eymoor Wood, to ascend the Trimpley anticlinal, at 
the highest point of which, near the Church, the upper Tile- 
stones are exposed in the roadside cuttings, though not known 
in any quarry, as heretofore, and contain Pteraspis Lloydii, 
Lewisii, rostratus, and Banksii. Cephalaspis Lyellii. Ceratio- 
caris ellipticus, Pterygotus problematicus and anglicus, bone 
of Onchus, Ova of Pterygotus (called Parkia dicipiens) and 
remains of plants, Lycopodites, &c. The view from this 
ground was very fine, overlooking Wyre forest, with the 
Severn below, the Clee hills rising up grandly in the distance, 
the Caradoc, and other more distant peaks being distinctly 
visible on the N. W. The view to the South was bounded 
by the Malvern range and the Abberley hills, and on the 
North and East, overlooking Staffordshire, by the Wren’s Nest 
and Barr Beacon, the Rowley, Clent, and Lickey hills. At 
Trimpley Green the party were hospitably entertained by Mr. 
J. Chillingworth. 
Proceeding, after luncheon, to Halls Barn, the typical 
(Herefordshire) Old Red Cornstones were exhibited in a quarry, 
leaving the Permian beds, including the Trappean glacial breccia 
on the right. Descending the east flank of the anticlinal, the 
Members reached the head of the far famed Habberley Valley, a
