II. The Clieltenham, Tewkesbury and Winclicomb, or Chelt 

 and Lower Avon drain age-area, bounded by the county-boundary, 

 the Severn from Apperley to Sandhurst, the Cotteswold 

 escarpment from Snowshill to Seven Springs and by a somewhat 

 dubious boundary of the Chelt drainage from Seven Springs to 

 Sandhurst. 



III. The Newnham and Newent, or West Severn district, 

 including all that part of the county west of the Severn, and 

 north of a line running along the Old Eed Sandstone Eidge, 

 from between Longhope and Eoss to Blaize Bailey, and along 

 the Triassic boundary-line between Newnham and Blakeney, to 

 the Severn near Oaklands Park. This district includes nearly 

 all the Trias in the county, districts I and II being mainly Lias. 



IV. The Vale of Gloucester district, bounded by the Severn 

 from Sandhurst to Purton Passage, by the Cotteswold 

 escarpment from Seven Springs to Eandwick, an arbitrary line 

 thence to Eodborough Castle, the escarpment hence to 

 Nympsfield, Eendcombe and Stinchcombe Hill and thence along 

 the boundary-line of the Lias and Silurian to the Severn. 

 This district is also mainly Lias. 



V. The Vale of Berkeley district, lying south of the last 

 and drained chiefly by the Little or Tortworth Avon. The 

 escarpment forms the boundary from Eendcombe by Kingscote 

 Park, Lasborough, Boxwell, along the high road to Oldbury-on- 

 the-Hill, Hawkesbury and Horton, and then a line passing 

 south-west of Wickwar, north of Tytherington, about half-a- 

 mile north of Alveston to the Severn at Littleton — a line 

 keeping on high ground, mostly, I believe. Millstone Grit and 

 Mountain Limestone — completes the boundary. 



VI. The Forest of Dean district, bounded by III from the 

 Severn to Cinderford, and thence along the highest ground — 

 here again Carboniferous Limestone or Millstone Grit — to 

 Clement's End, east of St. Briavels, Hewelsfield, Lancaut and 

 the Severn just below Sedbury Park. In this district the 

 Liassic peninsula of Awre and a little Trias near Sedbury 

 (? Ehoetic) are the only portions not Palaeozoic, so perhaps it 

 would be advisable to include the former in district III and the 

 latter in district VII.
