The next Meeting of the Club was held at Newnham, on the 
13th of July. 
The first point visited was Westbury Cliff, which has lately 
been carefully examined by the Secretary and Mr. Lucy, who 
have noted a section differing so materially from those already 
published, that by permission I will proceed to incorporate it in 
this resumé of our proceedings. 
Section of Garden Cliff, Westbury, by J. Jones and W. C. Lucy. 
Upon the Green and Red Marls of the “ New Red Sandstone,” 
dipping 2° S.S.E., which are here exposed to the depth of 70 or 
80 feet, rest conformably :-— 
1.—A band of hard black Shale in which we first find 
coprolites which appears to be identical with those 
of the bone-bed above... a “5 wee 2 feet 
2.—A band composed partly of grit and partly of iron 
pyrites, its weathered surface exposing many teeth, 
coprolites, and shells of Pullastra arenicola 00 Dhiegy 
3.—Black Shale, like No.1... ar aa Suse es 
4.—Band like No. 2, with Pullastra arenicola .-- 8 inches 
5.—Black Shale as Nos. | and 2 “ee ye woe 2 feet 
6.—Bone Bep, consisting chiefly of Pyrites, contain- 
ing fine specimens of teeth, coprolites, palates 
bones, &c. ... oes ae Lae ase vee 1 anch

14.— Limestone band containing, at its lower portion, a 
Myacites, probably MM. lassinus of Quenstedt, 
and above Monotis decussatain great numbers. Brodie 
says also Cypris plants, Cyclas, and fish-scales ... 
15.—Greyish blue Clay ... Ace A oe w. 2 feet 
16.—Bottom-bed with Modiola and Ostrea minima... 
Although not traced at this particular spot, from other Sections 
in the neighbourhood, it is known that the beds distinguished 
successively by Ammonites planorbis and Johnstoni, Ammonites 
angulatus, Bucklandi, abtusus, oxygnotus, and raricostatus, and 
Pentacrinus tuberculatus, occur in due order, and accompanied to 
a great extent by the same fossils which are found in each of 
these beds of the same relative age in Germany. 
The considerations arrising from an examination of the 
preceding Section are of great interest, and suggest a subject for 
EE
