imbedded. The SiHceous Limestones are very hard and have 

 contained fossils, but the lime of these has aU been dissolved 

 out, leaving only indistinct impressions which are difficult to 

 distinguish. 



On these beds rest the Inferior Oolite Limestones, altogether 

 about 20 feet; which for its lower 10 feet is so rich in fossils, 

 both as regards species and individuals, that in the words of 

 Professor Buckman, he "knows of no bed equal to it." In its 

 upper part, however, fossils are very few, and it becomes a white 

 rubbly limestone, with the external appearance of the Great 

 Oohte. 



" AU these lower 10 feet — ^nay, sometimes even 3 feet — contain 

 aU the characteristic fossils of the whole of the Inferior Oolite 

 of Leckhampton and Cleeve Clouds.

Ammonites Farkinsoni

The sections at "Half-way House" and on the South Western 

 Eailway, at Bradford, are very fine, and afford instructive in- 

 stances of "faults."
