8 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COTTESWOLD CLUB 



in Vol. V, page 71; and in a supplementary one, " On 

 the extension of the Northern Drift and Boulder Clay 

 over the Cotteswold Range." Vol. VII, page 50. 



On June the 17th 1 again visited the section with Mr 

 Gray, and Mr Percy Kendall, a distinguished glacial 

 geologist, when the accompanying section was made. 



On one side of the pit was a hard rock dipping at an 

 angle of 45°, and upon the upper part of it were imperfect 

 fossil impressions, and the joints in the section were filled 

 with clay. 



Near there Mr Kendall picked up, on the surface, a 

 small boulder of old Red Sandstone. 



On the w^ay to the "Rising Sun," crossing a valley about 

 a quarter of a mile distant from the pit, Mr Gray, Mr 

 Kendall, and I saw, underneath some Oolitic detritus, a 

 small cavern which had been made to get out the same 

 quartzose sand, and in it were small pieces of quartzite. 



Prior to our Club Meeting, men were obtained who 

 increased the size of the opening, and the first section 

 given above was no longer applicable. A further exca- 

 vation shewed a foot of the same quartzose sand, then it 

 gradually became reduced more to a clay, from attrition, in 

 which were found some impressions of Oolitic shells, a 

 thin seam of blue clay, afterwards a like clay to that above 

 it, and near the bottom a small piece of quartzite ; and at 

 a total depth of four feet below the section made with Mr 

 Gray and Mr Kendall water came in. 



The presence of some Oolite slabs apparantly in situ, 

 in the section made with Mr Gray and Mr Kendall, rather 

 puzzled me ; but after the wider opening and deepening 

 had been made the explanation became clear. 



The hole is a depression in the Oolite and the 

 quartzose sand, with the large boulder in it, belong to the 

 period of the great submergence. The same sand also 

 appears in several other places on the hill side.
