In this Section the change in the character of the lower 
beds is distinctly noticed. A more minute description might 
have led to the correlation of the beds with those at Crickley, 
Haresfield and Frocester hills, and to the better understanding 
of the series. Having stated the nature of the work already 
done in this Field, I now proceed by the following Sections to 
show the Extension of the Pea Grit and the character of the 
Limestone beds beneath, in the area between Crickley hill and 
Uley Bury, including the whole of the Stroud district.

The Coral Reef overlying the Pisolite is about eleven feet 
thick. It does not occur at the point where the Section was 
taken, but is seen on the top of the eastern half of the quarry. 
* In this section the beds shown in that of Dr. WriguT are given in 
greater detail.
