Beds” in detail would require .more space than is here admis- 
sible, but they have all been carefully measured and described 
by Mr Pirzx, in a paper read by him to the Cotteswold Club. 
They consist of a series of red and white bands, forming a 
very extensive succession of beds, some of which are wholly 
 unfossiliferous, while others contain fish of ‘‘ Cephalaspidean” 
type, known as Auchenaspis Egertont and A. Salteri. These, 
owing to the gritty nature of the rock in which they are found, 
are more or less obscure, though numerous, and consist almost 
invariably of the head and neck plates, but Mr Piper has had 
the good fortune to obtain two bodies, the only examples as 
yet discovered. These fossils were first discovered by a cobbler 
at Ledbury, since dead, of the name of Brooxss, an enthusiastic 
_ and successful worker in these beds. Besides these organisms 
these beds have also yielded rims of Cephalaspidean head- 
shields, and examples of Cephalaspis Lightbodu, Pterygotus, a 
large Lingula, and Onchus. Other beds contain Cephalaspis and 
— Lingula, which latter seems to run through them all. Twenty- 
- four beds of Sandstone, Shale and Marl are enumerated by Mr 
‘ Preer as forming the true ‘‘ Passage Beds.” To these succeed 
_ the Downton Sandstone, fifty-eight feet in thickness, then the 
Upper Ludlow Shales, Aymestry Limestone, and Lower Ludlow, 
which terminates the section. 
After luncheon, at The Feathers, the party proceeded to 
‘Visit the Church, under the guidance of the Rector, the Rev. 
rz. Jackson, who told the story of the modifications it has 
undergone witha mastery of detail which a long and loving 
_ study could alone have enabled him to do. In the first place 
there was a Norman Church of the same length as the present 
one, as is shown by the remains of architecture of that period 
at both ends. The old Norman Church had low and narrow 
aisles. The choir shows Norman windows below, and circular 
ones of the same period above, surmounted externally by the 
iginal corbel-table, once without the Church, and now within 
The north aisle was removed and widened, and the beau- 
al lancet window introduced at the east end. The Norman 
piers and arches of the nave were next altered to their present
