pe eS. The red and greenish- 
grey Upper Keuper Marls 
constitute the base of 
the section, the dip being 
about 9° S.S.E. Shales, 
black, laminated, and espec- 
ially arenaceous, 8 inches 
below the Bone-bed, com- 
mence the Rhetic series. 
Their thickness is 2 feet, 
and at their base is an 
arenaceous deposit with a 
few fish-scales. Capping 
these shales is the Bone- 
bed. The vertebrate re- 
mains, chiefly teeth, scales, 
and coprolites of fish, are 
embedded in a very pyritic 
matrix. From’ a maxi- 
mum thickness of 2 ins., 
it thins out to % inch, 
passing then into a mi- 
caceous sandstone. Small 
quartz pebbles are of fre- 
quent occurrence. In 
addition to the vertebrate 
remains recorded in my 
section, Strickland  pro- 
cured a small vertebra of 
8 a fish, an ichthyodorulite 
of Memacanthus monilifer, 
bones of an Jchthyos- 
aurus, Hybodus delabechet, 
portion of a tooth with two
