Bed 4 in this section is a continuation of bed 1 in Section 
IV; and the bored bed on the top of it may be compared with 
the bored bed which I found so constant in a similar horizon in 
the strata of the Bourton line (Op. cit. p. 118, ete.) ; but it 
must not be correlated with the bored bed of the Stroud area— 
a bed on the top of the Upper Freestone. 
The Upper-Trigonia- and the Clypeus-grits (beds 3 and 2), 
are strata so well known that I need not refer to them here. 
More details concerning them, as well as concerning other strata 
dealt with in this paper, may be found in my paper on the 
Bourton line, already so often mentioned, as well as in the 
numerous papers by Wright, Lycett, Witchell and others in 
the volumes of the Club. 
The connection of the Clypeus-grit with the Fuller’s Earth 
can be seen in greater detail in the entry to the eighth cutting, 
where a downthrow inclines the strata at a steep angle, and 
affords the following section.

It may be convenient to speak of the beds 2 - 5 connecting 
the Clypeus-grit proper with the Fuller’s Earth clay as “ tran- 
sition strata ;” and they should be compared with a similar 
* C. Plottii is abundant only at the very top of the Clypeus-grit.
