present; but the section is unfortunately much obscured by 
the grass and trees, and therefore few fossils were collected, 
The view from these hills is very pretty, overlooking the 
valley of the Avon, with the Malvern and Bredon hills in 
the distance, Broadway and other Cotswold promontories 
ranging further to the south and south east. The clay pits 
of lower Lias at Randall’s brickyard, were next examined and 
a few characteristic fossils obtained, viz.— fine specimens of 
Cardinia ovalis, Astarte lurida, and other shells ; but this pit, 
rich in fossils, is now closed. Low down in the sections some 
choice specimens of Isastrea have been found. Walking 
through Evesham another clay pit, on the other side of the 
town, was visited, and a few Ammonites collected, one of 
which is probably a variety of a A. semicostatus, obtained by 
Mr. Tomes. The Cracombe district is affected by a line of 
fault which was first noticed by the late lamented Hugh 
Strickland, and the neighbourhood is rendered classical by the 
yaluable researches of this eminent Geologist. The upper 
Keuper on which, in places, the lowest beds of Lias rest, is 
interesting as containing a band of sandstone intercalated full 
of minute fish scales and bones.
