The shells recorded in addition to the above were Paludina 
and Unio. 
It will be seen that Mr. Simms copied Mr. Gregory’s section, 
merely verbally altering the description of some of the beds, and 
giving a few fossils. 
Prestwich gives the section as follows* :—

No further record of the section appears to have been pub- 
lished until Mr. Whitaker, in his memoir,{ gave the sections 
published by Messrs. Gregory and Warburton, with some re- 
marks of his own, as follows :—
