The drift gravel (2) is the ordinary flat angular gravel of 
the Cotteswolds: in the valley to the west of the small hill 
now described, it reaches a depth of six to eight feet, and 
forms the sub-soil of all the low grounds from Cirencester Hast 
and South-Eastward. 
The clay (3) is undoubtedly Boulder Clay. It yields only a 
few broken shells and pebbles. 
The beds (4 and 6) appear to be identical in character and 
composition, but are divided into two by an intervening band 
(5) of soft shelly marl. This Ferruginous Sandstone (4 and 
6) is very dark in colour, soft and crumbling on exposure to the 
atmosphere. The fossils are all in a very poor condition. 
They break up readily along with their matrix into a fine 
shelly sand. On this account we have not been able to 
make any collection of what would be called Museum specimens, 
though we have obtained very fine Belemnites hastata, Phola- 
— domya deltoidea, and Pecten lens. Soon after the exposure of 
_ the beds my friend, Mr F. Bravenpsr, of Cirencester, whose 
collection of Kellaway’s Rock fossils the Club had the oppor- 
tunity of inspecting, recognised this Ferruginous Sandstone as 
being identical with an exposure of the Kellaway’s Rock at 
_ Ashton Keynes, some miles further south. The beds there, 
_ though apparently the same in mineralogical character, and in 
_ their fossils, have the advantage of not crumbling on exposure, 
and Mr Bravenper has a large number of fossils collected — 
there, including some species we have not yet recognised at
