256 PROCEEDINGS COTTESWOLD CLUB 1903 
an extremely pyritic sandstone layer, with only occasional 
vertebrate remains, but upon a second visit it was traced 
along the bank, and found to be very ossiferous a few 
yards to the left of the main section. 
The depths below sea-level at which the Rhetic beds 
were deposited between Chaxhill and Wainlode Cliff seem 
to have been somewhat variable, and with the evidence 
now obtainable at Denny Hill, it looks as if we might 
attach more importance to the notes given by Sir W. V. 
Guise and Mr W. C. Lucy, on the railway-cutting at 
Lassington, towhich Ihave elsewhere referred." Moreover, 
it appears that Mr Lucy saw the cutting during its excava- 
tion, since the information he obtained was communicated 
to the Club in April, 1884, and was published in the 
Presidential Address for 18857, and Mr G. W. Keeling, 
Divisional Engineer for the Great Western Railway Com- 
pany, informed me that the branch near Lassington was 
opened for traffic in July, 1885. 
Whatever may prove to be the correct sequence of the 
Rhetic deposits at Lassington (for the evidence obtainable 
is not sufficient to base an opinion upon), the point to 
which I would direct attention is that between Chaxhill 
and Wainlode Cliff, there is not that persistency in the 
distribution of the component beds of the Rhetic series— 
certainly not in that of the Rhzetic deposit below the Bone- 
bed—which was noticed in the Tewkesbury district. 
Upon the remainder of the Denny-Hill section there is 
nothing which requires particular comment ; such details 
as were recorded are given in the section. 
Nore.—In the Presidential Address delivered on April 22nd, 1902, (‘ Proceedings,” 
Vol. xiv., p. 78), it was stated that the total thickness of the Rheetic series at Wainlode 
was 26 feet 8 inches, whilst in my paper (/ézd., p. 140) it was given as 27 feet 11 inches. 
This is due to the fact that subsequent to the visit of the Club to the locality, I considered 
it desirable to group the x foot 3 inches of shale immediately above the Pseadomonotis-bed 
with the Rheetic series.
