RefeiTcd to by the President in his Annual Address on the 29fh of March, 1867. 



Scale hali-au-inch to the foot. Beds given in descending order. 



Although the Section is called Dr3'brook, it is fully a mile from the village— is near the 

 Hawthorns — and occurs in that part of the road from Eoss to Drybrook. known as the Deep 

 Cutting. It can be reached either from the Longhope or Mitcheldean Road Stations of the 

 Hereford. Ross, and Gloucester Railway — the distance being nearly the same from each, about 

 two-and-a-half miles. The latter route is perhaps the better one, the beds being seen in ascending 

 order. The dip of the beds is from N.N.W. to S.S.E., at an angle of 22^ to 32°. W. 0. L.
