"In Somersetshire, N. of Ilminster, where the basement 

 portion of the Upper Lias is exposed, the Lepteena Clays 

 lie in immediate contact with the Marlstone, and consist 

 of about 1 8 inches of green, yellow, and brown laminated 

 clays, yielding Lept(sna [Koninckella) Bouckardi, and L. 

 Moorei at the base, and higher up Thecidium i^usticurn, 

 Alaria ttnispinosa, Spirifer-ina ilmins t erensi s, ^ndi Zel/ama 

 liassica. Foraminifera and Ostracoda likewise occur, as 

 well as Terebratula globulina, Rhynchonella pygmcea, 

 Ammonites, and occasionally remains of Fishes and 

 Saurians." 



Middle Lias 



We give on the next page such a scheme of the Middle 

 Lias on which our capping beds repose, as may afford 

 a general view of this portion of our Gloucestershire Lias, 

 and the junction of the Upper Lias and Middle Lias with 

 its Zone of Am. Spinatus.
