Dr. T. Wricut, F.R.S., in a paper on “the Paleontological: 
and Stratigraphical relations of the so-called Sands of the 
Inferior Oolite,”* gives sections of Pea Grit, the basement beds, 
and the supraliassic sands at Leckhampton and Crickley, and 
of the basement beds and sands at Haresfield hill, Frocester 
hill, and Wotton-under-Hdge. In the sections at Leckhampton 
and Crickley the basement beds are included in the term 
“ Pea Grit,” in the other three sections they are simply called 
Inferior Oolite. As these sections are given rather more in 
detail than the others, I repeat them seriatim. 
The Pea Grit (Inferior Oolite) Leckhampton Hill. Dr. Wricut. 
A. A brown, coarse, rubbly Oolite, full of flattened concretions, 
cemented together by a calcareous matrix—when the blocks 
weather the concretions, which resemble flattened peas—form 
a very uneven surface. It contains many fossils in good 
preservation. 
B. A hard, cream-coloured Pisolitic rock, made up of flattened con- 
cretions, with a thickness about similar to those in A. 
C. A coarse, brown Ferruginous rock, composed of large Oolitic 
grains ; it is readily disintegrated by the frost, and is of little 
economical value. . : : : ‘ : ; about 
ft. in. 
The Pea Grit (Inferior Oolite) Crickley Hill. Dr. Wricur. 
A. A coarse Oolitic Limestone, with large grains, and numerous 
concretionary bodies, exceedingly hard and crystalline in parts.

B. A coarse Pisolitic Limestone composed of flattened concretionary 
bodies, which are round, oval, or flattened like crushed peas. 
about 
C. A coarse, brown rock, very ferruginous and full of large grains.
