joined by Mrs. Prower and several ladies and gentlemen of the 

 neighbourhood, and sat down to an excellent dinner provided 

 for them by their hospitable entertainer. 



After dinner several interesting matters were discussed, which 

 the limits assignable to the records of this day's proceedings, 

 will not permit me to debate upon. I am indebted to Dr. 

 Smythe for the following list of fossils from the ' Perarmatus- 

 zone ' of the Coralline Oolite of Purton. 



Am. varicostatus Trigonia clavellata 



perarmatus Thecosmilia annularis 



Bel : ahhreviatus Thamnastroea arachnoides 



Chemnitzia striata Cidaris Jlorigemma 



Heddingtonensis Acrosalenia decorata 

 Euomphalus helicoides (Forbes) and portions of other Coral Rag 

 Cerithium muricatum Urchins. 



Neritopsis corallensis Spongia vagans 



Lithodomus inclusus and others of the Spongiadce. 



Nerinoea hieroglyphica Serpula runcinata 



Ostrea gregaria and innumerable fragments of 

 solitaria ' Crinoidea '

DTJNDRY HILL, NEAR BRISTOL. 



This remarkable outlier from the Cotteswold range, presents 

 features so peculiar, as to form by itself a study of no mean 

 importance to the geologist, in the correlation of distant beds 

 not otherwise easy of interpretation. The difl3.culty of diagnosis 

 is much increased by the absence of continuous sections, which 

 is due to the fact, that, except at the summit of the hill, where 

 the stone is quarried for building purposes, the only means of 

 tracing the succession of the beds, is by the help of road cuttings 

 and two small quarries, on opposite sides of the hill. A mere 

 casual STirvey will not suffice to enable the explorer to 

 comprehend the true succession of the beds without the help of
