VOL. XIV. (2) RHATIC ROCKS 167 
and pyritic, a few feet from the surface of the ground, to 
be quite soft at its outcrop, and where this phenomenon 
obtains it might be anticipated that organic remains 
would be very fragmentary, if not unrecognisable. The 
total thickness of the strata at this locality, compared with 
the total of the usual thicknesses of the equivalent strata at 
Garden Cliff, shows a slight increase on the latter. The 
succession from Keuper to Rhetic is plainly visible, and 
no fault occurs. About the stratigraphical position of the 
Pseudomonotis-bed, 1 found, but not in sz¢#, a fragment of a 
blue shelly rock, with brown sub-angular inclusions. 
About three-quarter mile east of the Chaxhill section 
the junction of the Keuper and the Rhetic is shown 
in both banks of the lane leading from Walmore Hill 
_ to the Common. Further down the lane the red marls 
of the Keuper are visible, with the superincumbent 
“Tea-green Marls,” of a pale green colour, and about 
16 feet thick ; these latter culminating in a hard greyish 
band of marl about one foot thick, in which galena was 
observed. The division between the Keuper and the 
Rheetic is marked by a rusty-coloured layer an inch thick, 
composed of numerous small quartz pebbles and fragments 
of marl. Black shales succeed. 
Three outliers of Lower Lias are shown to the north 
on the Geological Survey map. The first is at Gamage 
Court, in which no section was observed: pieces of 
Lower Lias limestone occurred in the fields and yielded 
Ostrea hassica. 
The second is at Denny Hill. A deeply cut lane 
traverses this outlier and affords an exposure of the Upper 
Keuper_ greenish-grey marls, with black shales above. 
The only limestone stratum seen was the Estherza-bed, 
exhibiting markings characteristic of the Cotham Marble, 
and containing scales of Gyro/epes and FE stherza.
