Completing the western^ or upper portion of the map, it 

 will be seen by the dotted red marks, that from Evesham to 

 Broadway, the N.D. extends to the Cotteswolds, and that 

 at the foot of the same the Oolitic Gravel is in places of 

 considerable extent and thickness. 



An excellent section, 9 feet deep, is shewn at Stanway, in 

 a field opposite the 11th milestone from Tewkesbury. The 

 Gravel is sub-angular with many bits of rolled Marlstone, and 

 in which were obtained the following fossils : — Pholodomya 

 Heraulti, Modiola plicata, M. 8owerhyi, Belemnites elongatus, 

 Lima prohoscidea, and rolled Cfryphites. 



The pit, which is a short distance from the hill, is situated 

 near the mouth of a Coombe, and from the character of the 

 ground, which is nearly level, the gravel is evidently of 

 considerable thickness, covering a large area. 



From Stanway to Hayles Abbey, Oolitic detritus is met vrith, 

 and extends up to Winchcombe, where at an elevation of 300 

 feet, on table land, at the back of the town, is a Gravel pit of 

 8 feet of sub-angular Oolite, with some Lias Gryphites. Gravel 

 of like character, I am informed, occurs under part of the 

 town. 



At Alderton the Quartzose Sand is met with, being 8 feet 

 thick, overlain by 9 inches of small Oolite Gravel, and Ift. 

 6in. of soil. This Sand extends to Little Washbourn, on to 

 Beckford, (but there it is mixed with Oolite), into Kemerton, 

 thence to the N.D. at Bredon, to which it belongs. 



The same description of Sand is at Bishop's Cleeve ; at and 

 round Cheltenham it is of great thickness, and Dr. Weight 

 informs me that at Hopwood's nursery gardens, when a boring 

 was made for the railway, it was found to be 40 feet deep. 



In Ey worth field, Charlton Kings, about 1^ miles from 

 Cheltenham, at a height of 264 feet there occurs 32 feet of 

 Quartzose Sand with fine Oolite and Marlstone Gravel in seams, 

 more sandy towards the bottom, where it rests on rather 

 coarser gravel, covering up the Lias Clay. 



Proceeding along the road which leads to Andoversford, near 

 the fourth milestone from Cheltenham, where the valley becomes
