and teeth of minute fishes—was detected by 
the late Mr Strickland.”* It cannot be 
‘stated where this author obtained the evi- 
dence for observing that Strickland detected 
the Bone-bed, ‘a hard, thin stratum, full of 
the scales and teeth of minute fishes,” at this 
locality. On a later page,’ however, the 
results of Mr Roberts’ investigations are 
shown to agree with those of other workers 
at the section, for whilst observing traces of 
the Bone-bed and “Insect-limestone,” he 
was not rewarded by any notable discovery 
of their fossil contents. 
The section was described in much greater 
detail by Mr Harrison in 1877, who remarked 
concerning the Bone-bed that “ Although 
we searched as closely as time permitted, yet 
no trace of a true bone-bed was to be found 
in the Dunhampstead section. The sand- 
stones Nos. 3 and 5 [15 and 17 of my section] 
each occupy horizons on which a bone-bed 
occurs in the Rhetic beds elsewhere.” ? 
For permission to examine this interesting 
cutting, the writer is indebted to the Midland 
Railway Company, and he would express his 
thanks to the District Inspector, Mr King, for 
accompanying him during his investigations. 
Below the Rhetic beds is a considerable 
thickness of Upper Keuper Marl. Approach- 
ing the picturesque locality of Dunhampstead 
from the south along the line of rail, in the 
last cutting before reaching that at Dun- 
hampstead proper, there is an instructive 
example of a fault, accompanied by a num- 
ber of small step-faults (fig. 2): the lower
