succeeded by a hard good building stone like that at Angleton, 
fully thirty feet thick, and the lower part is used for grindstones. 
These beds certainly seem to belong to the Keuper. 
Left Bridgend for Southerndown, and proceeded from thence 
to Sutton. Near the point where the Sutton stone ends, before 
getting on the Mountain Limestone, found a very fossiliferous 
bed, seven feet from the surface, very compact, and apparently 
near the bottom, as we could only get five feet below it, con- 
taining in great abundance EHlysastrea fischeri. It had all the 
character of a reef, and many of the corals were converted into 
Carbonate of Lime. In the bed underneath they also occur, 
but not to the same extent. Pecten Suttonensis abounded in 
both beds, and Ostrea interstriata was fairly abundant; also 
some lead and Chalcedony. | 
At Dunraven Point, about half way round the corner east, 
there is an arch, showing, in a very instructive manner, the 
Conglomerate resting on the Mountain Limestone, with which 
in some places it is intermixed; and a short distance further on 
nodules of the Limestone occur in the Conglomerate. A line 
of fault is afterwards seen, which appears to pass through or 
near where the Castle stands, and when the fault is down on 
the coast the beds become very deceptive, and what at first 
sight appears to be the Conglomerate is altered Lias, with 
Conglomerate in it. It much resembles the Sutton stone 
Conglomerate, which Messrs Bristow and Tawnry considered 
it to be; it also contains nodules of Carboniferous Limestone. 
From some of the Lima beds large blocks have fallen on the 
shore, showing four courses like jointed masonry, as distinctly 
as if the several layers were laid by masons. The true position . 
of the junction of the Conglomerate and the Lias is best seen 
ina cave just west of a shake in the beds, and, owing to it, 
the Lias beds are brought down and occupy a lower position 
than the Conglomerate; hence I believe the reason of some 
discrepancies in the reading of the beds by some who have 
described them. 
Having examined the Sutton stone from west of Sutton to a 
point east where we could not proceed further, owing to the then
