We perceive that the section is made up to a great extent 
of the Oolite Marl and Upper Freestone, or what Lycett called 
the Fimbria stage. The termination of this stage is perhaps 
not very distinct, but bed 2 shows us a stratum of fine yellow 
sand occurring just under some light coloured soft stone, and 
only two feet six inches from the top of the soil. This section 
then is capped by a deposit of yellow sand, occurring above the 
Oolite Marl, and above what must undoubtedly be considered 
as the Upper Freestone; and the occurrence of sand in this 
position is certainly most unusual. 
For a further explanation of this deposit of sand we must 
travel eastwards along the line about four miles until we reach 
the second cutting west of Bourton-on-the-Water Station, 
when we not only have displayed to us a similar section, but 
we are enabled to obtain an idea of what occurs above this 
deposit, as the following will show us :—
