The length gone over in the Eailway section is a little better 

 than a quarter of a mile. The A. Sumjphresianus is common in 

 the fossil band, and A. Murchisonoe occurs. 



Professor Buckman says : "I don't think any one will identify 

 this band with the ' Cephalopoda bed,' indeed Dr. Holl, from 

 the fossils, considers this to be the equivalent of the upper part 

 of the Inferior Oolite, but its fossil evidences are about equally 

 balanced, i.e., it is a most extraordinary and rich admixtiire of 

 the fossUs of 200 feet of the Cotteswold HiUs." 



Superficial Mould. 



Bed of Whitish Rubbly Freestone, called by quarrymen 

 "White Lamas," containing fragments of Am. Parkinsoni, 

 Pholodomya and Terebratulc^, about 9 feet. 



ir. Fossil Band, about 2 feet, containing Fossils given in list.

"Half-way House" Section. 



After the conclusion of the day's work, the Club partook of 

 the hospitality of their former Secretary. After dinner a paper 

 was read by Professor Buckman, on " Datura Tatula as a variety 

 of Datura Stramonium." This, which was illustrated by Hving 

 specimens, gave rise to an interesting discussion on the nature 

 of species. 



The business portion of the meeting was concluded by a paper 

 on Ancyloceras annulatu/m, discovered at Bradford Abbas by 

 LocKHART Kennedy, Esq., an intelligent pupil of the Professor.
