Fortunately, at the time of the writer's visit to this part 
of the county, the quarry was being worked, and he was 
able to obtain from the quarryman information concerning 
the four lowest deposits mentioned above. Bed 1 of the 
Rheetic is the lowest the quarryman knew of, and is very 
probably the equivalent of the Psewdomonotis-bed. Also, 
the writer was informed that all the limestone (that is, beds 
2 to 15 inclusive) has been removed from the area between 
the railway-line at Dunhampstead and the row of apple- 
trees along the west side of the field in which the quarry 
is situated. 
As already stated, it may be expected that the maximum 
thickness of the Upper Rheetic Stage obtains at Dunhamp- 
stead, but still it is probable that—bearing this considera- 
tion in remembrance—if we add the Saleway section to 
that at Woodnorton, and the latter to the Dunhampstead 
1 This bed is now classed with the Lower Lias, in accordance with evidence recently 
obtained by the writer in South Wales.
