VOL. XV. (1) RH#TIC ROCKS at 
Marls, and in places with the Upper Keuper Sandstone. 
Near Inkberrow this Upper Keuper Sandstone is of great 
assistance in determining accurately the position of the 
anticline. [he Cracombe Hills cause an interruption to 
the valley which occupies the superficial extent of the 
Keuper Marls: the marls having been elevated by the 
movements causing the flexures referred to. 
II.—_The Western District. 
This district is represented on Sheets 44, 54 S.W., and 
54 N.W. It extends from Turret Hill on the north 
(about three miles south-by-east of Bromsgrove) to a 
little under a mile south of Hill Croome Church on the 
south—a distance of 18 miles in a direct line. Its 
greatest breadth, from two-and-a-quarter miles north-of 
Pirton, to three-quarters of a mile east of Throckmorton 
Church, is seven miles. In this county, as in North-west 
Gloucestershire, where unaffected by faults, the junction 
of the Keuper and Rhetic Series is usually marked by 
a low but very distinct escarpment. Approaching Crowle 
from Worcester—after traversing the undulating expanse 
caused by the Upper Keuper Marls, and the low elevation 
which indicates the presence of the Keuper Sandstone 
about half-a-mile west of Ravenshill—a fine view is ob- 
tained from the railway-bridge of the steep and in places 
almost precipitous ridge capped by the basement-beds of 
the Lower Rhetic. From the bold northern termination 
of this district, Turret Hill, a magnificent view is to 
be had of the surrounding country. 
East of Hanbury the Rheetic area is being denuded by 
small tributaries of the Salwarp River, which seem to have 
opportunities of denuding the district about equal to the 
western tributary of the Bow Brook. Between Forest 
Hill and the rising ground at Hanbury, there is a
