ASHTON-UNDER-HILL 
This hill, lying uxider Bredon Hill, has not retained any of 
its Upper Lias deposits. They have been completely swept 
away, though the quarry we visited had been lately worked, and 
- some quantity of the Marlstone of the Spinatus Zone of the 
_ Middle Lias was stacked, and easy toexamine. The inclemency 
of weather prevented our taking advantage of the opportunity, 
and we can only observe that the brown rock of the Spinatus 
2s beds contained numerous leading fossils of the upper beds of 
_ the Zone, comprising good specimens of Amaltheus spinatus, 
and also swarms of Ostracoda, examples of which we preserved ; 
and it was with reluctance that we beat a retreat from Ashton- 
~ under-Hill.
