order the Trigonia grit comes first into view, then a bed about 
eight feet in thickness, without any distinctive fossil, so far as we 
could discover, and then the “ freestone,” which is at that point 
about 60 or 70 feet thick. ‘The Fimbria bed appears to be totally 
unrepresented. Below the “ freestone,” the Cephalopoda bed, and 
the upper portion of the subordinate “ Sands,” come into sight ; 
but the beds, intervening between these and the base of “ the 
freestone,” are obscured by rubble. 
The “Sands” were here tenanted by acolony of Mason- 
wasps, Odynerus spinipes, accompanied by their parasite Chrysis 
bidentata. 
After breakfast the party, with a considerable addition to its 
strength, proceeded to Peakdown, in a road-cutting on which is 
displayed the best section of the Supra-liassic Sands yet visited 
by the Club, as they here attain to an estimated thickness of at 
least 200 feet. Upon these reposes, well-exposed, the “ Cephalo- 
poda bed” with all its characteristic Ammonites, with the addi- 
tion of many other interesting fossils, of which the following list 
was made :— 
Ammonites jurensis. 
— variabilis. 
radians and var. Thouarsensis. 
opalinus and var: Moorei. 
Belemnites irregularis. 
— abbrieviatus. 
Nautilus inornatus. 
Trigonia Ramsayi—( Casts). 
Opis. 
Astarte. 
Turbo capitaneus. 
Pholodomya Zietheni. 
Pecten demissus. 
Cucullea. 
Gresslya abducta. 
Modiola plicata. 
Lucina. 
Serpula. 
A large Pinna and Ceromya bajociana, with other fossils, were 
found in the upper portion of this bed; but, as at Haresfield and 
Frocester, these have all been found only in the upper zone, and 
as it was exceedingly doubtful whether they were here in situ, to 
say nothing of the very doubtful character of the matrix in which 
they were embedded, the Secretary decided upon rejecting them. 
While the majority of the party remained here, the President, 
Secretary, and others crossed the intervening valley, and made 
for Uley-Bury. About half-way up the hill, and at about the 
middle of “ the Sands ” before referred to, the Secretary discovered 
an intermittent nodular band of brown stone, similar to that
