Commencing with the top of the Liassic sands, which are 
here 833 feet above sea level—the highest point they are met 
with in the Cotteswold range, and which in a subsequent paper 
I shall have occasion to notice,—the Cephalopoda bed is well 
shewn, resting upon the sands, full of broken Belemmnites, and 
forms a very hard compact stone, from its being cemented 
together by iron, in addition to lime, and contains Myacites, 
Ceromya and Pholadomya, Gresslya, Belemnites, &c.; and the 
next bed, No. 2, bears a general resemblance to it, but has a 
more sandy or arenaceous appearance, while No. 3 is more of a 
limestone, still hard, and at its base shows, in the parting, Pea 
Grit. 4,5, 6 are hard bands of stone, with Pea Grit gradu- 
ally increasing, until, at the top of No. 6, it is abundant; in 7 
and 8 it becomes large and well cemented together; and 9 
and 10 are shelly limestones, much broken up, and 11 is a 
rubbly bed, capped with soil. 
Section 2 
Is taken at Messrs Heirs and Fosrer’s quarry, and is 130 feet 
in a direct line from No. 1, and shews a dip in that distance 
of 7°65 degrees. The beds all contain Pea Grit largely dis- 
seminated, and I consider them the equivalents of.3 to 8 
inclusive. 
The difference in thickness of the two Sections is two feet, 
No. 1 Section being 29 feet, and this 31 feet. The lower 
bed contains numerous large Oysters, Limas, Pentacrinites, 
Hinnites, &c.; and in the bed above Bryozoa and Serpule are 
abundant, and Terebratula simplex and Pygaster semisulcatus 
occur. 
Section 3. 
A short distance further on, above Messrs Heirs and FosrEr’s 
lawn, is the bed of 14 feet shewn in the Section as covered 
up by detritus,* and upon which rests the lower Coral bed of 
* Most likely a white limestone, similar to what occurs under the coral 
bed at Crickley.
