opinion on any subject of antiquarian investigation.

history of this deposit, but the more recent discoveries of 
my friend, Mr. C. Moore, of Bath, in the lower Lias in 
Somersetshire and South Wales present so many striking 
and unlooked for facts that they are of special interest to all 
Geologists, especially those who. have studied the Lias 
more in detail. The beds of the lower Lias in the districts 
above referred to present some peculiarities of lithological 
structure not found elsewhere, especially where they come 
in contact with the Mountain limestone, to which in many
