WIGGOLD CUTTING. 
At first a fine grained false bedded Oolite, nine feet; on 
passing deeper into the “down” between the first and second 
bridges, this is overlaid by higher beds, and gives a section as 
follows :—

1. Thin fissile slates, much weathered by surface action rea OlanG 
2. Marly clay st SEE ao AE ant or at a)

5. False bedded fine Prien Oolite ax Sac a eee eo 
6. Fine grained compact Oolite, with abundant shells of Lima 5 0 
Between the second and third bridges an abrupt change 
takes place in the character of the beds, and at the north end 
the dip alters ata slight fault, from 1 in 160 to 1 in 100; the 
false bedded fine grained Oolite, No. 5, rises quickly and 
outcrops. A faulting brings down a thin bed of tenacious 
brown clay with apparently much organic matter in it. 
This cutting is specially characterized by its many exten- 
sive “pipes” filled with sandy debris, probably of glacial 
origin. Beyond this cutting, just before crossing the Foss 
Way, there is a short section which I call 
THE STOW ROAD CUTTING, 
ft. ins. 
1. Rubble 2 0 
2. Marl 0 9 
3. Oolitic freestone, partially Perfomted by oavition eG

A little way into this cutting there occurs at the bottom a 
very puzzling bed of shelly limestone of a bluish colour, with 
abundant Oolitic granules, reminding one of typical Forest 
Marble.
