introductory to their Geology and Palzontology.’ 
“The Cotteswold Hills commence near Bath and ter- 
minate in the bold promontory of Ebrington Hill. The 
Vale of Stonehouse divides the northern from the southern 
Cotteswolds. The great outlying mass of Bredon Hill 
has its escarpment facing northwards and may be con- 
sidered to divide the Vales of Gloucester and Evesham.”
