sandstone layer. The correlation of beds 8-14 must be 
considered approximate. Bed 7 is a distinctive horizon, 
and its contemporaneity with other beds similarly numbered 
in the various sections is supported by the occurrence 
of the fossiliferous horizon 12-16 inches below it. This’ 
is the horizon (12-16 ins. below 7) at which Ofhzolepis 
Damest may be expected. Garden Cliff was the first 
British locality at which this ophuiroid was discovered, 
by one of our members, Mr John Sawyer. The discovery 
was made a few months subsequent to the naming of the 
fossil by Dr Wright, who had established the species upon 
specimens from Hieldesheim.* The exact horizon whence 
the specimens were procured at Garden Cliff is uncertain. 
Dr Wright states they were found in the “dark shales 
above the Bone-bed.”” This, according to his section,3 
would be below my bed 7. Bed 6, as I would correlate 
the deposit, is composed of alternating selenitic shales and 
sandstone layers, but it must be mentioned that the latter 
strata. are somewhat evanescent, being conspicuously 
developed in one place and having almost thinned out in 
another. When considerably developed they contain 
numerous lamellibranchs which are difficult:to determine 
specifically. Etheridge’s Upper /ec¢en-bed caps this 
deposit, and in places is considerably ossiferous. 
At Wainlode Cliff the deposit intervening between beds 
7 and 5bis 10inches in thickness, perhaps more in places, 
but here the equivalent deposit is a little over 4 feet. 
A reference to the sections in the Tewkesbury district will 
demonstrate that at this horizon the deposits are not 
nearly so constant as those immediately sub- and super- 
jacent.
