Some portions of Phacops conopthalmus, Homolonotus bisul- 
catus (characteristic Trilobites), Orthis Actonice, Strophomena 
grandis, tenuistriata and elegantula anda species of Fenestella 
were met with. Descending to the Onney, the Geologists care- 
fully searched the purple shales forming the lowest beds of the 
Wenlock group, in which Cheirurus bimucronatus, Encrinurus 
punctatus. Orthis biloba, and other fossils occur. The shales 
of the adjacent Caradoc sandstone yielded abundant fragments 
of Trinucleus concentricus, and Mr. Brodie obtained a beautifully 
perfect specimen in its young stage. 
On Wednesday, the members went to Ludlow by rail, The 
Archeologists visited the Castle, which is beautifully situated 
on the banks of the Teme, where Milton wrote ‘Comus’ 
and Butler ‘ Hudibras” Some time was then spent in inspecting 
the local Museum, lately established in the town, and which 
contains a fine series of Silurian fossils of the neighbourhood, 
well managed and arranged, among which the fine Star fish, 
Eucrinites, Trilobites, Eurypterus, and other rarities, from the 
upper and lower Ludlow formations, are especially deserving of 
notice. In this case, as at Warwick, the aim has been to 
illustrate the geology of the district, which has been successfully 
carried out. 
The Party then drove to Downton Castle, walking through the 
beautiful grounds on the banks of the river Teme, the Ludlow rocks 
rising up on each side and crowned with rich woods. Passing a 
quarry of Aymestry limestone, where some good specimens of 
Pentamerus Knightii were procured ; the walk was continued 
to Leintwardine, and at Trippleton a lower Ludlow quarry was 
examined, consisting of brown flaggy stone, in which, though 
rarely, perfect specimens of the Ceratiocaris have been discovered. 
Ascending Church hill some time was spent searching the same
