two molar teeth of Elephae primigenius, Turritellce, portion 

 of worn Gardium and fragments of Cyprina Islandica were 

 found, some of which are now in the Worcester Museum. 

 Near the Workhouse a Purpura lapilhis was picked up by 

 Mr. Sewell, (formerly of Upton,) and given by him to Lord 

 DuciE. 



At Tunnel Hill, which is about 100 feet above the sea level, 

 N.D. Gravel is met with, and there appear to be in this locality 

 three distinct zones of Gravel, namely — Pull Court, Tunnel 

 Hill, and the slightly rising ground above the Severn, with 

 Mammalian remains in the first and last. 



At Tewkesbury, in a cellar excavated at a house in the High 

 Street, I saw, about 4 feet below the surface, 4 feet of N.D., 

 with some rolled Lias Gryphites resting on N"ew Eed. 



This Gravel is found round Tewkesbury (particularly at 

 Northway) in considerable abundance, and thins out at 

 Ashchurch Station, where it meets the Oolitic detritus. 



Following the course of the Avon the IST.D. Gravel occurs 

 in a field opposite the fourth milestone on the road from 

 Tewkesbury to Eckington, and when worked nearer to the 

 river it was evidently much thicker, as it now thins out 

 towards Bredon. 



The following is a section — 



I obtained here Galerites subrotunda, (Mantell,) from the chalk 

 which was given me by one of the workmen. 



At Bredon's Norton, in a field near the Church, called Gravel 

 Hole, and which approaches nearer the hill, the N.D. and 

 Oolite join. This pit is at an elevation of 160 feet, and is the 

 highest point on Bredon at which I have met with Quartzose 

 N.D. Sand.
