Gravel of like character is met with at intervals near the 

 banks of the Avon to the extent shown on the map, (at the top 

 of Welford Hill it is 40 feet thick) and good sections occur on 

 the banks of the Arrow, at Broomford, and near the river, 

 close to the Workhouse at Alcester. 



Berry's Coppice, near Donnington, is at an elevation of 160 

 feet above the i-iver Arrow at Broom, 273 feet above sea level, 

 and presents the following section : — 







Soil, with Peb- 

 bles. 



N.D. and Sand, 

 Flints, Green-

 stone Grit, ic, 

 resting on 



New Red. 



It may clearly be traced from Pershore to Inkberrow, 

 through Throckmorton, and at the last-named place I picked 

 up a piece of coarse Granite, similar to that which I found at 

 Upton, and in Shropshire ; also a small block of Millstone Grit, 

 the latter shewing evident marks of glacial striation. 



Along the Eidgeway the N.D. is in considerable quantity, 

 and at Cook's Pit there is a bed of Eed Quartzose Sand, 40 feet 

 thick, with Pebbles near the surface, and some Charcoal. 



At New Inn Brickyard, a quarter of a mile from the Inn, 

 there is a section showinof :
