rests, but its horizontal position at once distinguishes it from the 
underlying rock. It consists of a fine Conglomerate, occasionally 
brecciated, but more frequently containing water-worn pebbles, 
and it shows traces of fish teeth and scales. 
After passing an unopened piece of ground, there is a second 
and much smaller quarry at B. which presents still greater variety. 
It consists in descending order of

beneath which follows the Mountain Limestone. As in the 
former section the conglomerates contained fish and reptilian 
remains. 
After another short interval of unworked ground, a third 
quarry occurs at C, in which the section is still farther developed. 
Taken at the northern end, where the strata are most fully 
represented, the section may be given as follows :— 
Rubbly beds, apparently White Lias

beneath which lies the Mountain binemtage: There again the 
conglomerates contained occasional fish teeth and scales, and a 
closer examination would probably discover a greater variety 
of organic remains.

longing to the Rhetic formation, here presented in miniature
