west, with the whole of the upper Silurian system, including the 
Llandovery sandstone round May Hill anticlinal, Longhope and 
Malvern, the syenitic axis of which stands out in bold relief on 
the extreme north. Ona clear day the Welsh Mountains are 
seen in the far west, which include the whole of the Paleozoic 
formations, the entire view being unsurpassed in England. Near 
the devil’s chimney,on Leckhampton, luncheon was kindly provided 
by the Rey. W. Norwood. From this point the Club retraced their 
steps to the northern escarpment in order to examine the ragstone 
or Trigonia grit, which caps the hill and is the highest member of 
the Inferior Oolite. This stratum is succeeded by the Gryphite 
grit, characterised by the abundance Gryphea Buckmani. 
neither of which bands appear in any other portion of the hill, 
Numerous characteristic fossils were found in the course of the day, 
including Belemnites brevis, Pecten lens, Terebratula perovalis and 
impressa, Natica Leckhamptonensis, Astarte elegans, Terebratula 
fimbria, Serpula socialis, Patella rugosa and inornata, Acrosalenia 
Lycetti, Gryphea Buckmani, Lima proboscidea, Myacites and 
Thecosmilia gregaria. 
On the following day, the party set off for Cleeve Hill, the 
Pisolite here is well exposed and forms a bold escarpment 
for some distance being particularly rich in Echinoderms and 
Bryozoa. Certain beds, such as the roadstone, extensively 
quarried for this purpose and loaded with organic remains, are 
seen only at this spot. The freestone and Oolite marl are also 
seen in situ, but, owing to a considerable fall of the Oolite masses, 
the section is at first sight much confused and can only be 
correctly made out by careful study. The following section, 
taken on the spot, will explain the relations of the different 
strata.
