2. That the same Grravel crosses the Severn, and meets the 

 Oolitic Gravel, in a line not always continuous, extending from 

 Saul Lodge, near Frampton-on-Severn, a little to the S.W. of the 

 Map, to Gloucester (see section of pit at Kingsholm, the N.D. 

 and Quartzose Sand being the lower) and on to the Gravel Hole 

 pit, near Bredon's Norton; and this line seems to me to indicate 

 the lowest level of the country at the time when the two 

 Gravels met, i.e., the Oolitic Gravels and those of the N.D,; 

 and N.D. Pebbles are sometimes scattered in places over the 

 surface of the soil, even where the Oolitic Gravel is under- 

 neath. 



3. That Red Quartzose Sand, which is very abundant, breats 

 the line, and skirting Chosen Hill, runs up to and beyond 

 Cheltenham, attaining near there a much higher elevation, 

 (being at Ryeworth 262 feet above the sea,) thence as far as 

 Alderton and the side of Bredon Hill, and it is rarely absent 

 wherever the N.D. is met with. 



4. That as the Cottes wolds are approached the Oolitic 

 Gravel increases much in thickness, especially on their flanks. 



6. That in the Yales of Shipston, Moreton, and Evenlode, 

 the Gravel is in greater quantity, mostly of the same Quartzose 

 character, much coarser, with more Flints and Chalk ; but the 

 nearer the Cotteswold Range is approached, the more Oolitic 

 the Gravel becomes. 



6. That at an elevation of 15 to 40 feet above the existing 

 rivers. Gravel is found in considerable abundance, rising gently 

 from the Alluvium, forming table-lands, and flats, and terraces, 

 rarely, however, exceeding 8 to 10 feet in thickness, in which 

 Mammalian remains, marine, land, and freshwater Shells 

 occur. 



7. That at an increased altitude of about 40 feet other 

 terraces of Gravel are met with, presenting the same character 

 as the last. 



8. That at a further elevation of about 80 feet there is 

 another similar terrace, being the highest point at which 

 Mammalian remains have been found. 



9. That above the Gravel where the last Mammalian remains
