The upper bands of Limestone at the top. five or six beds, 

 are of a yellow tinge externally, and one of them is made 

 up of broken joints of Pentacrinites. The fifteenth bed of 

 limestone is full of Fucoids, and another is charged with 

 Rhynconella variabilis. The Pentacrinite, Fucoidal, and 

 Rhynchonella strata I have noticed in the same position in 

 Gloucestershire and elsewhere. The Fucoids belong pro- 

 bably to two species, one of which is a large thick branching 

 form, resembling a German species figra'ed by Quenstedt. 

 Comparing the two sections of Harbury. and Kineton, it 

 will be seen that at the former there are thirty-three beds of 

 limestone, and thirty- two at the latter; if the entire mass of 

 the lower Lias was exposed there, probably the vertical 

 thickness would be nearly the same in both cases. The 

 usual fossils characterise both. The following fossils occur 

 at Harbury: — 

 Ammonites angulatus. (Small 



specimens, prevail near the 



top.) 

 Ammonites multicostatiiB. 

 Lima gigantea. 



„ Hermanni. 

 Pecten Pradoanus, new species. 



(A Spanish species is found also 



near ETesliam,and at Kineton.) 

 Pecten strionatis.

Astarte. 



Extracrinns (Pentacrinites) 



briarteus. 

 Septastroea Fromentelli. (Onlj 



one specimen in my cabinet.) 

 Ictliyosaurus. 

 Plesiosaurus rugosus. 

 Fish. (One small fish, 'the only 



one found here when the cut. 



ting was made.) 

 Wood. 

 Rhynconella variabilis. 



On the whole the species are not very numerous, and the 

 genera very limited.
