The first quarry on the hill south-west of Nailsworth is on the 
Bath road at Tiltup’s End. The following is the Section :— 
No. ft. in. 
iJ 2 0—Surface rubble. 
2 7 O—Beds of Forest Marble, fissile near the top, but thicker and more 
Fy regularly bedded beneath. Some of the beds appear as if they 
had been originally consolidated in thick blocks, but had subse- 
quently split into thin beds. These beds are composed of sand, 
lime, and shelly detritus, highly crystalline, and of a greyish 
white in colour. They contain few fossils. The upper beds 
are more Oolitic, and light brown in colour. 
o's Q 4—Marly and sandy band, in places replaced by reddish clay. (In 
q the next quarry described this band is highly fossiliferous.) 
' 4 0—White Limestone (Great Oolite) in thick beds ; some parts are 
white and chalky, others are very hard, having a conchoidal 
fracture, and varying in colour from white toa pale straw or 
creamy white. It contains in its upper part numerous fossils, 
in a highly cyrstalline condition. The fossils include some 
large examples of Nerinza. The base of the beds is not exposed. 
At the distance of about 300 yards in the direction of 
Calcot Barn there is another quarry, now disused, in which the 
Forest Marble has been denuded, so that the White Limestone 
is within three feet of the surface, and is about seven feet 
thick. The upper stratum of the Limestone contains three or 
_ more species of Nerinza, one species in large numbers. They 
occur in a layer about six inches thick, which is almost made 
remarkable, especially as in the quarry first mentioned the 
hin band between the Limestone and Forest Marble beds does 
Tiltup’s End and Kingscote. Ina small quarry near Lasborough 
it forms the surface rubble, and probably thins out at no great 
st ance beyond. In a road-side quarry south of Kingscote its 
kness can be measured, and it appears to be only 10 inches;
