well preserved as in other places, but this limestone. is 
chiefly famous for its fine and abundant remains of 
Cestraciont fishes, consisting of palatal teeth and. spines, 
in fine preservation, which are fully illustrated in Mr. 
Jones’ choice and extensive collection. 
Returning to Farlow, the Club, including several ladies 
and members of the Severn Valley Field Club, sat down 
to an al fresco luncheon, kindly provided by Mr. Lowndes. 
Here the Rev. W. Purton gave a detailed. geological, 
description of the district, with which he is well acquainted, 
and Mr. Brodie pointed out the numerous lines of basaltic 
upthrow of the Clee hills, the more distant Wrekin, the 
Clent hills, and the other older plutonic outbursts of the 
Malverns, and the country adjacent to the Longmynd. An 
upheaval of greenstone also occurs in a small ridge lying 
between Oreton and Wyre Forest. 
After luncheon, the Warwickshire Club ascended the 
Titterstone Clee, which commands one of the finest and 
most extensive views in the district, commanding the 
whole of the Silurians round Ludlow, Caer Caradoc, and 
the Longmynd, the intervening old Red Sandstone being 
well marked by the red colour of the soil. The slopes of 
the hill consist of the Millstone grit and coal, which is 
worked at. several places, the shafts being sunk through 
the trap which has thrown up the coal measures bursting 
through them at a central point in the hill, and having 
overflowed on the top; forming altogether a most striking 
and instructive section,—perhaps one of the most remark- 
able of the kind in the country. The basalt is scattered 
about in all directions on the summit and slope of the 
hill, and has assumed an imperfect columnar column 
when cooling.
