78 PROCEEDINGS COTTESWOLD CLUB 1903 
On Saturday, June Ist, a half-day excursion was made to 
Wainlode Cliff, near Norton, under the guidance of Mr 
L. Richardson. After tea at the Red Lion Inn, the 
members proceeded to examine the cliff. Standing at the 
base Mr Richardson described the section as a whole, 
showing that above the greenish-grey marls of the Upper 
Keuper came the Rheetic strata. Ascending to a higher 
level an excavation was examined, which exhibited the 
junction of the two formations very clearly, whilst two 
feet above the marls was the well-known Bone-bed. 
Here the Bone-bed is a hard pyritic, calcareous sand- 
stone, replete with fish remains; but in the bank of the - 
road descending to the Red Lion Inn, it was seen as a 
micaceous sandstone, over a foot thick, devoid of verte- 
brate remains. About 18% feet above the Bone-bed is 
the Zstheria-bed ; and 5 feet 2 inches above the latter 
stratum is the Psewdomonotts-bed—better known here as 
the “Insect-limestone.” The total thickness of the 
Rhztics exposed in this section is 26 feet 8 inches. 
The second Field Meeting was held on June 25th at 
Moreton-in-the-Marsh. Assembling at Stow Station at 
II.I5 a.m., the members drove thence to Moreton, 
stopping on the way to see a section of Clypeus-grit. 
On arriving at Moreton, the party proceeded to the gravel 
pits, where Mr Mellard Reade, F.G.S., who had joined 
the excursion as a guest, gave an interesting address, 
attributing the gravel to floating ice and partial sub- 
mergence’. 
Considerable discussion followed, in which Rev. H. H. 
Winwood, Dr C. Callaway, and the Honorary Secretary 
took part. Mr Buckman gave the view which he has put 
forward.* He agreed with Mr Reade as to the transpor- 
tation agency being ice, but he disagreed about the sub- 
mergence. He considers that the ice was floating down a
