doubts were set at rest by the finding of the fossil in situ. The 
question was thus determined, and it is now certain that the 
top beds in the quarry are those of Ammonites spinatus, while , 
the beds at the base are those of A. margaritatus. Some other 
good fossils were obtained, including Belemnites pazillosus, 
Pecten cequivalvis, Rhynchonella tetrahedra, Terebratula punc- 
tata, &c. 
The party dined together at the Prince of Wales Inn, near 
the Berkeley Road Station. 
The Club held their 
THIRD FIELD MEETING 
for the season on Monday, 21st July, at 
LEDBURY, 
with the view of visiting the “ Passage Beds” between the 
“Old Red” and the “ Silurians,” and of inspecting the beau- 
tiful and interesting parish Church. The party travelled by 
train to Ledbury, where they were met by Mr Grorce Piper, 
a local Geologist, who has during many years made a continuous 
study of the rocks in question. The section which has been 
laid open by the railway presents the finest, perhaps the only 
complete display of these beds known to Geologists, and as 
such is deserving of the most careful study. Ascending a hill 
on which a rail is laid for the transport of stone, the entire 
succession of beds, here nearly vertical, with a slight dip to 
the west, is displayed to view. To the westward the ‘* Old 
Red” stretches in unbroken continuity as far as Milford Haven. 
At Ledbury it is met conformably by the Silurian beds, which 
are connected with the “Old Red” by the so-called “ Passage- 
Beds,” which are here displayed in their entire extent. The 
recent cutting at the eastern end of the great excavation near 
the railway station, has laid bare the lowest of the “ Passage 
Beds,” and has exposed to view all the upper Silurian strata 
down to the “‘ Lower Ludlow” beds, which here attain a thick- 
ness of many hundred feet, and rest immediately on the solid 
beds of the “‘ Wenlock Limestone.” To describe the “ Passage
