the summer at Broadway in Worcestershire. Arriving 
there soon after ten o’clock a.m. the members were met at 
the “Bell” by Mr. Beadles, a member of the Worcester. 
shire Field Club, who kindly accompanied them as their 
guide to all the most interesting spots in the immediate 
neighbourhood. Ascending the hill, a small cutting at- 
tracted the attention of the Geologists, and as it exhibited 
thé sandy ‘and highly fossiliferous beds immediately below 
the marlstone, rarely exposed, it was well worth a detailed 
examination. The Secretary observed that he had only 
déén these beds’at Churchdown hill, in Gloucestershire, at 
Dursley, in the same County, and at Avon Dassett, in 
Warwickshire, in all of which places they are highly 
fossiliferous. At Broadway the fossils noted were Phola- 
domya, Belemnites, Terebratula, Ammonites, Plicatula, 
and Avicula... This.was the only spot in the ascent wheie 
the Liias could be seen, nor was the Marlstone or upper 
Lias anywhere exposed before reaching the Oolite, though 
it must be of considerable thickness. 
On the top of the hill a pause was made to look at the 
fine view overlooking a rich vale, from which the Liassic 
outliers of Stanley and Dumbleton. hills stand forth, with 
the more distant hill of Bredon, the Malverns and May 
hill anticlinal. Several quarries. of inferior Oolite were 
visited, consisting of the upper and lower Freestone, the 
latter affording the building stone, as at Birdlip and 
Cleeve, near Cheltenham, but no Pisolite or Oolite Marl 
as at the latter places. Scarcely any fossils were to be 
found in it except some Terebratula, Rhynchonellez, and 
one specimen of Hyboclypus agariciformis, and a few 
minute Univalves.
